Goal setting is an important aspect of productivity. However, as your life becomes more and more complex, you'll also need systems and tools to help you organize the many pieces of information that you acquire from different sources. You'll need to figure out how to utilize those different threads of knowledge and resources in achieving your goals. One such system is the PARA system, conceptualized by someone named Tiago Forte.  Broadly, he says that our life goals and knowledge can be categorized into: Projects - these are goals with due dates and deadlines Areas - these are broad areas of our life, such as physical fitness Resources - the different pieces of knowledge that we acquire in the form of articles, videos, or links and finally, Archive - A backup of all the information that you can pull up if and when needed A solid note-taking system and tool can help immensely with organizing the various resources that we require.
