PARA

GTD vs PARA

GTD runs my tasks. PARA runs my notes. They're cousins, not competitors - here's how I use both without doubling admin.

Organization in PKM isn't a perfect tree - it's enough structure to find things when life gets loud.

PARA is how I sort notes by life responsibility - not by topic alphabet soup. Four buckets, clear questions.

Archive isn't delete. It's moving finished work out of active PARA so today's projects breathe.

CODE and PARA in one loop: capture to inbox, organize by project, distill on use, express weekly.

My weekly review is a checklist - inbox, calendar, projects, one express action. Boring on purpose.
