|---|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | The PARA Method organizes knowledge into Projects, Areas, Resources, and Archives. It creates order when digital notes, files, and tasks no longer cleanly fit current work. | The method protects energy and attention for the task that creates the largest progress and is often postponed. | CATWOE structures a problem from six viewpoints and prevents too narrow a view of the situation. Different experiences of the system become comparably discussable this way. | It separates true priorities from noise so it becomes clear what should be done now, scheduled, delegated, or dropped. |
