Brief summery of the PARA folder structure:
- Projects: A project is "a series of tasks linked to a goal, with a deadline".
- Area: An area of responsibility is "a sphere of activity with a standard to be maintained over time".
- Resource: A resource is "a topic or theme of ongoing interest".
- Archive: Archives include "inactive items from the other three categories".
Additional: Put personally relevant information in Areas, and generally useful information in Resources.
