## PARA Methodology

The organizing framework for your Obsidian vault at `~/CODEX/`.
|
|
|
|
### PARA Structure
|
|
|
|
| Category | Folder | Purpose | Examples |
|
|
|----------|---------|---------|----------|
|
|
| **Projects** | `01-projects/` | Active outcomes with deadlines | "Website relaunch", "NixOS setup" |
|
|
| **Areas** | `02-areas/` | Ongoing responsibilities | "Health", "Finances", "Team" |
|
|
| **Resources** | `03-resources/` | Reference material by topic | "Python", "Productivity", "Recipes" |
|
|
| **Archive** | `04-archive/` | Completed/inactive items | Old projects, outdated resources |

### Decision Rules

|
|
|
1. **Is it actionable with a deadline?** → `01-projects/`
|
|
2. **Is it an ongoing responsibility?** → `02-areas/`
|
|
3. **Is it reference material?** → `03-resources/`
|
|
4. **Is it completed or inactive?** → `04-archive/`
|
|

## Core Principles
|
|
|
|
1. **Context first** - Always read `_chiron/context.md` before acting
|
|
2. **Minimal friction** - Quick capture should be instant
|
|
3. **Trust the system** - Regular reviews keep it useful
|
|
4. **Progressive disclosure** - Show what's needed, not everything
|
|
5. **Reflect and improve** - Weekly reviews drive system refinement
|
