**Last Update**: 23.07.2024 *** - **The best way to organize your notes is [[The PARA System| to organize for action]], according to the active projects you are working on right now.** Consider new information in terms of its utility, asking, 'How is this going to help me move forward one of my current projects?' - Surprisingly, **when you focus on taking action, the vast amount of information out there gets radically streamlined and simplified**. There are relatively few things that are actionable and relevant at any given time, which means you have a clear filter for ignoring everything else. - **Organizing for action gives you a sense of tremendous clarity** because you know that everything you’re keeping actually has a purpose. You know that it aligns with your goals and priorities. - *** **References**: - Forte, Tiago. _Building a Second Brain: A Proven Method to Organize Your Digital Life and Unlock Your Creative Potential_.
