      Are you going to cover one off tasks or tasks that don't belong to a project. Such as things that relate to the home etc. Also dates and reminders for deadlines.

    I think you're doing an absolutely incredible job. No matter how many "aesthetic" notion setups in see on RUclips, i always get drawn to the minimal look you established. It is the only thing that is making me stay and keeps me on track, doesn't get me started on customising my pages in a million different ways. Keep it up, your templates have been incredibly helpful for me. The finance tracker and the PARA system were tremendous. Keep'em coming champ!❤

    I was listening to the second brain audio book about 1-2 months ago. This video helped me a lot setting everything up since I was not using Notion before.
    What I was noticing though was that I needed an entity smaller than "projects" for all the little things I wanted to keep track of. So I created a new page "tasks" that relates to a project just the way a project does to area.
    Each task has a status as well (just as the projects). Also I added a filtered view of my tasks to the project page, so I can see what things are to do for each project individually.
    Now I can keep track of everything more granularly. Helps me a lot.

  • @ragigoutham

    To archive all the projects of the area that is archived:
    1) In projects go to properties and choose "Rollup"
    2) In the drop down of Rollup - In Relation - Choose "Areas"
    3) In Property - Choose "Archived"
    4) Set Calculate as- "Checked"
    5) Choose any form to show, switch off the show number option and hide the property in view.
    6) Now, In projects, add a filter - rollup - assign value 0.
    Done.. Make these changes in archive folder too
    Add an advanced filter to the projects section in Archive Page where the filter has both Archive set as "Checked" OR Rollup set as "1".

    This is easily the most helpful Notion + PARA Method video I've ever seen. Actually just Notion even, because I'm new at it and learned so much about how it works and what we can do. I've been watching Notion videos for months and never have I felt this good after setting it up using a video tutorial. Thank you so much!

    The BASB book comes with a 3hr Masterclass with proof of purchase, detailed in various BASB email subscriptions.

  • @raf1717
    @raf1717 11 месяцев назад +4

    Why so many PARA implementation in Notion treat Areas as a categorization for Projects. But Projects and Areas serve different roles. Areas, unlike Projects, is a section for non-time-sensitive, or long-term, or life-long goals, activities, etc. For example, Travel Bucketlists (non time sensitive), Finance Tracker (lifelong routines), etc. If you want to add a categorization, just make a different database independent from Areas or you can use Archive instead so you can search files in Archive section per category, like Study, Personal, Business, etc.

  • @ЕленаМиженина
    @ЕленаМиженина Год назад +2

    Nice video, with elegant way of organizing a work. The problem is that it has little relation to Forte's ideas. In Forte the Project, Areas and Resources are not related to each other - they are actually separate. The ideas may be inspired by PARA-logic but they are not follow the approach at all.

    • @xavierverne5654

  • @saadiquemerchant

    For the date, I believe you can use one column and have the end time property included, instead of having two separate columns. Correct?

    when I go to create a new template on areas, all the projects are paste in the new template. I've watched this video 4x and can't figure out what I am doing wrong here. I am assuming there is a step you've shared here because I wached many many times and I can't create a new project without the old projects attached to it.

    Hi Easlo. Thanks for a great video
    In this method, when you make a project an Archive, all it's resources remain in the resources list and doesn't get archived automatically with the project. Is there a way to make it so when you archive a project, all it's resources gets archived as well?

  • @AndrewDenis-s9f
    @AndrewDenis-s9f 11 месяцев назад +2

    Very good coverage of the key points and areas, but it is all so very monotone, no real pacing to the delivery, and more than a little depressed sounding (and looking-- what's with all the grey?). I assume the monotone audio is some basic auto generated speech, but there are options.
    I get that you are trying to convey the info "efficiently", but like everything in life, it is not just what we say, but how we say it, and very often how we setup and reinforce it. Color, pacing and enthusiasm all help most people learn-- and maybe more importantly, remember.

  • @filipepereira5061
    @filipepereira5061 Год назад

    Thanks for this! Just wondering, for writing notes, do you write them directly in the page for each Area/Project? I think I'll just create a Notes database and link it to Area/Project (just like you did with Resources)

  • @tokyokyotoyt

    Hi Easlo! I’ve got a question regarding the archiving function: when I mark any resource as “Archived”, it doesn’t disappear from any related project/area. I understand that feature solely works on filtering by checked/unchecked, but is there any way to implement filtering option to a relation so the archived resources won’t show up in projects or areas?

    The whole idea of the Archive is having dates. Like you set up, I don’t think we’re able to add the date unless we set up a date property.

    This is not the proper Para Method.
    Projects are for things that have a start and end date Example: Client proposal. Each project is eventually closed and archived.
    Areas are for things that are ongoing and are almost never closed and archived. Example: Bill Payments
