Great summary!

Really nice summary.

Awesome video as always

Apologies if I have got this wrong but I think you start this with 6% of people who set goals do not stick to them? Did you mean stick to them

Hey Johnny, I'm finding your videos really useful and approachable. Thank you.

I never really comment, but I decided to share a comment anyways. I'm neurodivergent, so most advice that neurotypicals use don't really work for me. However, this seems so simple, yet something I wish I knew sooner. I'll for sure try it out. I hope you get enough views and subs in the future and complete your goals!! Keep it up!

Great video! I’m going to try this out for sure.

awesome video thank you

great book. such a shame hes since passed. the world lost a great man. may he RIP

I got to say I really enjoy your PARA content and I think you of all the KZbin vidoes, blogs etc. you provide the best hands on content to how to actually implement it. For example the moment I saw your colour co-ordinated your Google Drive Folders I instantly realised that is such better way of organising it. Even better it's coming from a fellow Irishman. Keep up the good work!

This works wonders-if you don't mind several third party advertisers actively harvesting and analysing your information. Due to Google's horrendous privacy policies and aggressive data collection practices you'll be compromising pretty much every single aspect of your Second Brain by doing this. I would personally recommend using open source or end-to-end encrypted alternatives in the case that you don't want external entities to read your documents. Good video anyways.

Thank you for the video! You saved me from entering the world of Evernote, which has an unfavorable reputation, by relying on the Google ecosystem that I am accustomed to. However, I am still confused and skeptical about the ease or smoothness of relying on Google Docs as an option for storing hundreds of notes that are still in Google Keep, which I want to move, sort, and organize according to the PARA system. The issue is that Google Docs is somewhat slow in loading pages and lacks speed and practicality. It feels like you are entering a massive application that takes time to load with every note you open. What do you think about this matter and how can this problem be dealt with? I feel it is suitable for long writings but not for all types of notes. Could you share your thoughts?

Where would you place goals in a PARA system? Does Tiago suggest where to put goals? Thanks for any insights, as this is a dimension that appears to be missing from this method.

i dont make my bed because i rest a lot throughout the day. My morning routine is full of wins though. I always weigh myself, clean the litterbox, shower, do skin care, do dishes, and take out the trash. I cant imagine not doing those tasks first thing in the morning. I love my routine. I also love the daily goal setting tip! I'd be lost without planning and goal setting.

Great video Jonny. Good luck with the coding, what made you give up teaching?

Great share. 1.bed so true =I live in a studio (massive difference)👍 2.lol!de cluttering now & discovered a fresh 50 note in one of my books 😂 3.Learning editing & loving it, daily👌🏻 4.

You r right bro.....subliminal helps us to get more productive...Love from Bangladesh 😊😊❤❤🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩

She was also Bipolar1, as am I. Pure mania is one hell of a drug. In my own mania, I often exhibit hyperlexia and feel utterly compelled to WRITE. Most of its shit but my mania often accompanies mild psychosis. Poor Sylvia flew too close to the sun, spurred on by the atrocious men in her life. I wish we had the technology to speak to the dead - she'd surely have a lot of wisdom for us all.

Hi Jonny! I'm Vasylyna. I wanted to contact you with a collaboration opportunity that aligns perfectly with your KZbin channel. Where can I write you?

While l wash the dishes each morning, l'm going to boil the kettle and fill my favourite red thermos with hot tea ready for when l'm working on the computer. I'm also going to listen to, and sing along with my favourite affirmation track. This will help me increase my hydration levels, my oxygen levels, my joy, and satisfaction from having a clean ordered kitchen.🎉🎉🎉

Great video! At the moment I have 1 PARA system that incorporates personal and work. The work is listed as an area with an emoji that makes it appear at the top of the sort. My projects folder have projects both personal and work listed by order of date in the file names. For the current inportant projects I star the folders to appear on the "starred" tab of google drive." I create a shortcut to that so I can always go to my current "starred" projects. Once they are completed, they go back into their area, resource or or archive. I have also kept some projects in their area folder, created a shortcut in drive and placed that in the project folder. That what it is current and when it's over I just delete the shortcut. Sounds complicated I know but I'm still working out the kinks. Thanks for the video.

Perfect timing Jonny as my minds been on it since my last comments..... And this video has answered many questions I considered & some I hadn't, anyways thanks again for this gold 👍👌🏻

damn, that accent is so thicccccc. love the content!

Amazing content. Very good explanation!! And perfect speaking speed.

This is such a helpful video, thanks mate! 🙏 Also, may I ask (even though it is unrelated to the topic) where you are from? As a non-native English speaker, I'm very interested in the different accents (esp. those around GB) and I have the urge to know where people's accents come from so I get better at reckognising them! And your accent is really beautiful! :)

I’m using the exact same system. It works!

Thank you Jonny, I love your videos, I am a Google user and I tried many options but I always come back, this is a very practical tool

Thank you for making this video. The more I try other porgrams, the more they drive me back to keep and drive. I am curious, do you have seperate para systems for say work and one for personal or keep them all together. Also, do some notes stay in keep and never go into drive?

Great video Jonny, I love keep & Drive & will definately study your 2nd brain system as I have masses on Trello, Drive, Pocket etc 😭 scattered & overwhelming tbh 😂 for some reason I don't have the scan button above the plus sign on note? Ideas appreciated & thanks again. 👍

Awesome video! I see a few opportunities to optimize your channel for better visibility. Let me know if you need a KZbin SEO expert!

Excellent work here Jonny! The only weakness that I can see in the Google ecosystem for this workflow is the ability to search text within notes like you can in Evernote or Devonthink. Other than that, this is a phenomenal approach!

Oooh reading, well listening, to this right now! Such a good listen!

I cannot begin to express my gratitude that you've done this on google drive and not Notion. Not only did I think this needed to be done in notion (which was very daunting) I have fantasized of organizing my drive, and this was the catalyst to do it. Thank you.

Just too many annoying sound effects taking focus away from what you talk about. Stopped watching after a few minutes. If you want me as a subscriber stop using all these sound effects.

Hello, great vid 😊 May I ask something: I am architect who works for a company and also freelances on the side, I have a lot of assets that I use frequently, such as my SOPs related to work, architectural codes and regulations, legal papers, and marketing materials like my "About Me" section, some email templates and some hashtags I use on social media posts. These are not ongoing projects that I need to maintain over time, they are like assets I use frequently based So I'm wondering, where do these types of assets fit in with the PARA structure? Are they considered "Resources," or should they be classified in areas? Need to hear your opinion on this 😊 Thanks in advance.

def my favorite writer- the bell jar is my absolute favorite book. lady lazarus is my anthem

Valuable info!!! ♠

You gave me a few good ideas of what PARA is about and how I can start organizing the mess of files piled up on my external drive. I also learned that it would not be a bad idea to get Tiago Forte's PARA book. I'm sold...Thank You!

congrats for your 1500 Victory :)

Excellent video. Which thing have you got most benefit from?

I'm texting 📱 as I watch this😂

Well designed and executed summary of Musk and his unwavering desire to do what's right, and not what is being driven by the media. He's not afraid to go against crazy ideas pushed by "group think." It's a tragedy how many people just "go along" with the media's agenda of anti-business, woke agendas. He wants to hire the best people, period. Regardless of all the people driving political agnedas.

Agree 100%! To change my attention from output goals to process goals and improving my meta skills (which both lead to a desirable output goal but in a less overwhelming manner) was a real game changer for me. And yes, I only try to do it in a way I do enjoy. Since then, procrastination and the lack of energy disappeared almost completely!

I agree with the others, watching you talk isn't helpful to understand this system.

Is it correct to say PARA is part of Organize step of CODE?

How do you deal with multiple Areas that are all related? Tiago appears to use prefixes in the folder names, like "FL" for all his Forte Labs areas, etc.. What about breaking down Finance into different sub-areas, like checking/savings, investments, insurance, etc. and breaking down Health sub-areas, like diet/food log, exercise, Dr. A, Dr. B, test results, etc.? Right now I use another level of hierarchy depth for these, but I'm trying to learn the "pure" PARA approach and it seems like there's only one level of hierarchy/folders/break-down within each of the 4 main categories. Any experience/suggestions?

Projects: Group of tasks oriented toward one goal. It has a rough deadline. Areas: Projects without a deadline. Resources: Non-projects.

I think this guy should run for president. We need help lol

Your explanations are top-notch, cheers
