The PARA Method

PARA とはあらゆるプラットフォームにおいて活用できる、情報整理の方法の1つ

情報を4つの大きなジャンルに分けて整理する。

Projects, Areas, Resources, Archives の4つ。頭文字をとって PARA

Projects は直近取り組んでいるタスク

たとえば「模様替えをする」とか「スマホを買い替える」とか

Areas は自分が責任をもっている領域

たとえば仕事で SEO 領域を見ている関連の資料とか

Resources

興味や学びからリソースが手に入る

自分のメモ、クリップ etc...

Archives は参照しなくなった PAR すべて。保管することで未来から参照できる。

僕の生活にあてはめるとどうなる…？

仕事用の Chrome profile はウィンドウごとに自分の責任をもってる範囲の情報をまとめている

Todoist にもたまにはみ出てる

Scrapbox は Resources の場所だけどそのまま Archive 相当にもなりそう。

自分の生活を見てみると、プラットフォームはバラけているが PARA の概念がある程度収まっている

You have projects you’re actively working on – short-term efforts (in your work or personal life) that you take on with a certain goal in mind. For example:

Complete webpage design

Buy a new computer

Write research report

Renovate the bathroom

Finish Spanish language course

Set up new living room furniture

You have areas of responsibility – important parts of your work and life that require ongoing attention. These might include:

Work responsibilities such as Marketing, Human Resources, Product Management, Research and Development, Direct Reports, or Engineering

Personal responsibilities such as Health, Finances, Kids, Writing, Car, or Home

Then you have resources on a range of topics you’re interested in and learning about, such as:

Graphic design

Personal productivity

Organic gardening

Coffee

Modern architecture

Web design

Japanese language

French literature

Notetaking

Breathwork

Habit formation

Photography

Marketing assets

Finally, you have archives, which include anything from the previous three categories that is no longer active, but you might want to save for future reference:

Projects you’ve completed or put on hold

Areas that are no longer active or relevant

Resources that you’re no longer interested in
