Projects

Category: PARA component

Summary: Short-term outcomes with a finish line.

What it means

Projects are the most action-oriented part of PARA. A project has a desired outcome, current work, and a natural endpoint.

How it shows up in personal knowledge management

Project folders should collect only what helps the current outcome. This page connects to para, project-knowledge, task-management, next-actions, and project-kickoff-notes.

Common mistakes

• Calling ongoing responsibilities projects.
• Letting project folders become permanent archives.
