Limitations

  • Flat labels make PARA categories less visible at scale.
  • Project and Area boundaries blur without hierarchy.
  • Archive transitions are inconsistent with manual labels.

Structured Implementation

Implementation Guidance

Create top-level PARA branches, add sublabels for project status and area scope, and review weekly so notes move forward through the system rather than accumulating in place.
