It reads a bit like my current position after two decades of on-and-off-GTD and ~three years of PARA: the project/area/resource distinction is practical, but not earth-shattering.

But what‘s really working is GTD, which the article doesn‘t call out, but implicitly lumps together with PARA: actionable next tasks and collecting everything in some kind of inbox.

I haven‘t found much use for PARA itself in my personal life, but for organizing my work OneDrive it shines.

For organization, I found that Johnny Decimal is my perfect sweet spot.

Seconded on GTD, or at least a version of it. I suck at consulting an app about what I could be doing in a given context. I’ve mostly discarded that, other than things like shopping lists and 1:1 meetings. But the idea of capturing every action I need to take, then routinely putting those in home/work/self/etc. buckets was life changing. I’m a devotee to that habit.

Johnny here. Glad you find it useful.

Have you seen my recent ‘task and project management’ course? I’m really happy with how the task part worked out, and feedback has been universally positive.

The project side has work to do. I think I’ve solved the problem and will be updating the course in the next month.
