The NEW PARA Method Productivity System

The NEW PARA Method Productivity System

January 12, 20243 min read

Hey,

As you know, TIME IS MONEY & MONEY LOVES SPEED!

The entrepreneurs who are organized can move faster without stressing.

That's why we're focusing on optimizing your organization and productivity in 2024 so you can grow your business faster than in 2023.

Yesterday, we went over the pros and cons of David Allen's Getting Things Done (GTD) system.

This system has been the main operating system (OS) of serious (aka professional) entrepreneurs for the past 20 years or so.

But there's a new comer in town, Thiago Forte's PARA Method.

This NEW breakthrough productivity system is the most EXCITING thing in my life right now and if you're switched on you'll be excited too!

Understanding P.A.R.A. – The Four-Tiered Approach to Clarity

What is P.A.R.A.?

Imagine walking into a room where every item, every piece of information, and every task is meticulously organized.

That's P.A.R.A.—a four-tiered system that stands for Projects, Areas, Resources, and Archives.

It's the answer to your digital chaos, the secret sauce to turning your overwhelming to-do list into a well-oiled productivity machine.

Projects: Define and Conquer with Smart Goals and Clear Endpoints

Think of Projects as the high-impact sprints in your entrepreneurial marathon.

These are the initiatives with a clear goal and an endpoint in sight—the launches, the campaigns, the product developments.

With P.A.R.A., each project gets the spotlight it deserves, ensuring you're not just busy, but productively busy.

Have no more than 10-15 projects going at one time to avoid overwhelm!

Areas: Maintain the Pillars That Uphold Your Life and Business

Areas are the cornerstones of your success—the ongoing aspects of your life and business that demand your regular attention.

We're talking about your personal development, your team's performance, your financial health.

These aren't one-and-done tasks; they're the parts of your life you're committed to nurturing constantly.

Resources: Curate a Wellspring of Knowledge That Informs and Empowers

Here's where you store the fuel for your entrepreneurial fire—the articles, the notes, the ideas.

Resources are not immediately actionable, but they're invaluable for supporting your projects and maintaining your areas.

A well-managed resource bank is like having a personal Google at your fingertips—ready to serve you the right information at the right time.

Archives: Clear the Clutter, Archive the Past, and Streamline Your Focus

The Archives are the silent heroes of your productivity saga.

They're where completed projects and outdated resources go to rest, allowing you to focus on the present without distraction.

Think of it as decluttering your digital workspace, making room for fresh ideas and new ventures.

This system sounds simple and it is.

Tomorrow I'll cover in depth how you can implement PARA in your life so you finally can shut down all those open tabs on your computer (and in your mind) and take control of torrent of information coming at you everyday.
