+# 🔄 Areas
+
+Ongoing responsibilities and spheres of activity you maintain over time.
+
+## Purpose
+
+Areas are **ongoing responsibilities** that:
+- Have no end date
+- Require continuous attention
+- Define your roles and commitments
+- Need regular maintenance
+
+## What Belongs Here
+
+### Personal Areas
+- Health & Fitness
+- Finances
+- Relationships
+- Personal Development
+- Home & Environment
+
+### Professional Areas
+- Team Management
+- Client Relationships
+- Professional Skills
+- Industry Knowledge
+- Networking
+
+### Creative Areas
+- Writing Practice
+- Content Creation
+- Learning & Research
+- Side Projects
+
+## Area Structure
+
+Each area might contain:
+```
+Area_Name/
+├── README.md          # Overview and principles
+├── Goals/            # Current focus areas
+├── Resources/        # Reference materials
+├── Reviews/          # Periodic check-ins
+└── Ideas/           # Future possibilities
+```
+
+## Claude Code Workflows
+
+### Area Review
+```
+Review my [area name] area.
+What patterns do you see in recent notes?
+What aspects need more attention?
+```
+
+### Setting Goals
+```
+Help me set quarterly goals for [area].
+Based on recent activity, what should I prioritize?
+```
+
+### Finding Gaps
+```
+Analyze my [area] notes.
+What important topics am I not tracking?
+What questions should I be asking?
+```
+
+### Cross-Area Analysis
+```
+Compare my [Area A] and [Area B] notes.
+Where do they overlap?
+How might they inform each other?
+```
+
+## Area vs Project
+
+**Ask yourself**: Does this have an end date?
+
+| Area (Ongoing) | Project (Time-bound) |
+|---------------|---------------------|
+| "Health" | "Lose 10 pounds by June" |
+| "Finances" | "Create 2024 budget" |
+| "Writing" | "Finish blog post series" |
+| "Learning" | "Complete Python course" |
+| "Clients" | "Deliver Project X" |
+
+## Maintenance Practices
+
+### Weekly
+- Quick scan of each area
+- Note any urgent needs
+- Capture new ideas
+
+### Monthly
+- Review goals and progress
+- Update resource lists
+- Clean up old notes
+
+### Quarterly
+- Deep review with Claude Code
+- Adjust focus areas
+- Archive outdated material
+
+## Claude Code Prompts
+
+### Health Check
+```
+Do a health check on all my areas.
+Which have recent activity?
+Which have been neglected?
+```
+
+### Balance Assessment
+```
+Looking at my areas, where am I spending most energy?
+What's out of balance?
+```
+
+### Integration Opportunities
+```
+Find connections between my different areas.
+Where could better integration create value?
+```
+
+## Tips
+
+- **Areas inform Projects** - Projects often emerge from area needs
+- **Keep them active** - Dead areas should be archived
+- **Review regularly** - Areas drift without attention
+- **Document standards** - What does "good" look like?
+- **Track metrics** - Even qualitative areas benefit from measurement
+
+## Remember
+
+Areas are the backdrop of your life. They don't complete, but they evolve. Use Claude Code to help you see patterns and maintain balance across all your responsibilities.
