Archive

Purpose: Completed or inactive items from Projects and Areas.

What Gets Archived

• Completed projects - Move entire project folder here
• Inactive areas - Areas you're no longer maintaining
• Old resources - Outdated reference materials (use sparingly)

Archive Structure

Maintain the same folder structure:

• Projects/ - Completed project folders
• Areas/ - Inactive areas
• Resources/ - Outdated resources (if needed)

Before Archiving a Project

1. Create a project summary note with:
   • What was accomplished
   • Key learnings
   • Links to important outputs
2. Update related Area notes
3. Move the entire project folder here

Maintenance

• Review quarterly to see what can be deleted
• Some archived items may be reactivated
• Keep the archive organized (mirror active structure)

Tips

• Don't archive too aggressively - keep valuable reference material
• Use git history to track when things were archived
• Archived doesn't mean forgotten - you can still search and reference
