# PARA Organization System

## Folder Structure
```
00_Inbox/       → Temporary capture, process weekly
01_Projects/    → Time-bound work with deadlines
02_Areas/       → Ongoing responsibilities
03_Resources/   → Reference materials
04_Archive/     → Completed items
05_Attachments/ → Media files
06_Metadata/    → Docs & templates
```

## Quick Decision Tree
- Has deadline? → 01_Projects/
- Ongoing responsibility? → 02_Areas/
- Reference material? → 03_Resources/
- Unsure? → 00_Inbox/

## Organization Principles
- Inbox is temporary - process weekly
- One idea per note (atomic notes)
- Flat structure over deep nesting (max 3 levels)
- Use links not folders for relationships
