📚 I like what the PARA method is doing, but as I said there’s a challenge in knowing “in which of my places is that Inbox, Project, Area, Resource, or Archive?”

Here’s some guidance from the author, though it’s not a fully-satisfactory/useful answer.

"I use the following rules of thumb to tell me which digital storage medium is best for any given piece of information: &10; &10;* If it’s an appointment or meeting happening at a specific time, it goes on my calendar &10;* If it’s a task that I can complete anytime, it goes in my to-do list app &10;* If it’s text, it goes in my notetaking app (since that offers the best search function by which to find it again) &10;* If it’s content that I’ll be collaborating on with others, it goes in my cloud storage drive &10;* If it can’t go in any of the above locations (because it’s too large or a specialized file type, for example), then it goes in my computer’s file system (the Documents folder)" (Tiago Forte, The PARA Method)
