Why

Logseq 的导航实在是太差了，前期东一个西一个的页面和主题，回顾起来真的是噩梦；这也算是子弹笔记法的末路了，我需要一个可能分类的东西，不仅仅针对任务的 GTD，而是更加 BIG 的一些东西；

How

Do you see the problem? Look again closely. :1

Extent of Your Commitments（承诺的范围）

Connect Your Current Efforts to Your Long-Term Goals （与长期目标挂钩）

总的来说，这些目标是十分模糊而不明所以的，具体来说，就是不知道做到什么程度算完成，没有子任务、程序与进度；没有项目的的背景和目标，我们更不知道完成这个之后到底有什么用，也就是说，没有驱动力。

六点提示

Organize by project, not by topic (such as psychology or marketing) or kind of information (quotes, book notes, insights)

这里的项目，和 GTD 中的项目清单很像，如果你现在的做的事情不在你的项目清单，你应该考虑立个项，而不是无脑的把任务 LINK 几个 TOPIC 就完事了。要不然最后受苦的是你自己。

日常的所有任务，应该放在一个项目中去，而不是孤零零的一项任务；

Projects have a goal and a completion date; Areas have a standard to maintain indefinitely

每个项目都应该有一个 Deadline，而长期目标就应该有一套 Standard / Soft Rule 去维护基本秩序；

Areas are ongoing responsibilities (for personally relevant info); Resources are interests or research (for generally useful info)

ongoing responsibilities: 长期责任；

领域是你长期负责的东西，无线责任制，而资源则是你感兴趣去研究的东西，比如 PKM 和 Logseq，都应该放在 Resource 中去；

A Project without a Goal is a hobby, and a Goal without a Project is a dream

这是一个很有启发的解释；

没有目标的项目只是一个爱好，没有执行细则的项目就仅仅只是一场梦；

Move notes (or even entire notebooks) when you notice they fit better elsewhere, rather than on a schedule

这一点我持有保留意见，因为我怕希望过去的笔记成为一种仅查看的存档，非必要不编辑，如果需要，我会用双向链接，复制一份引用，而不是伤筋动骨，重新整理所有的历史笔记就是噩梦。

Move quickly, touch lightly. Use your intuition when organizing, rather than trying to categorize everything perfectly

祭完美主义；不要浪费太长时间；

方法论

  • 这件事是否对我的目标/项目有帮助 ⇒ 1P
    • 否则，能否减缓一些责任和压力 ⇒ 2R
      • 否则，它有没有戳我的点 ⇒ 3R
        • 否则，他是否真的值得做？
  • via: Follow this flowchart to find where best to store it.

五项原则

Never create an empty folder before you have something to put in it.

不好凭空想象你要做的事情，等你真的有东西在做；

There’s no ONE correct place for any piece of information.

  • 笔记没有最好的地方，凭感觉去做，没有完美；
  • 同 Move quickly, touch lightly. Use your intuition when organizing, rather than trying to categorize everything perfectly

Move quickly, touch lightly.

  • 同 Move notes (or even entire notebooks) when you notice they fit better elsewhere, rather than on a schedule

Search is your friend.

善用搜索，但是我发现，很多东西就算打了标记，到用的时候，还是找不到；

When in doubt, start over

如果现在难以为继，丢掉历史包袱重来吧

What

PARA Method 伞兵方法（伪

Project: short-term effort in your work or life that you’re working on now.

  • 工作生活中短期的目标，是一定要具体并且拥有 Deadline 的目标；比如产品发布会、生日派对、推销演讲、马拉松训练；
  • 最有可操作性 (actionable)；

Area: long-term responsibility you want to manage over time.

  • 我的身份，需要长期负责的事情和人，是有方法论可言的东西，最好有一套个人软规则，如健康、财务、生产力、以及关系；

Resource: topics or interests that maybe useful in the future.

  • 你感兴趣，并且关心的东西，也许是对未来有用的资源，属于是收藏癖的专属分类了；如小说、动漫、游戏、钓鱼等，可以说是自己的兴趣所在。

Archive: inactive items from the other three category

  • 已经不感兴趣，完成，或者放弃的东西，主要手机为上述三项；如完成的事、不再活跃的项目、去年的马拉松。之前的项目 当然，北欧人除外。

Tip

我鼓捣很多东西，这些东西当然都算作我的爱好。 比如游戏和生产力相比，显然我对前者的执着，是没法跟生产力比的。 那么，这些各异的爱好应该如何区分？怎么区分放在 2A / 3R 的爱好？

答案是，用功利的想法考虑这些事情，如果不做这件事情也没有什么后果，那么放在 3R 中，反之就是 2A，比如一个人不关注自己的财务、健康，那么第二天可能就会变成无家可归的流浪汉。

> Think of things in terms of actionability(可操作性) and producing things(创作/生产) and necessity(必要性). 2

(From a personal perspective)

Project Examples
  • New Gaming PC build (has deadline)
  • Setup Self-Hosted Service X (has a deadline)
  • Learn JavaScript (has a deadline)
Area Examples
  • Bills (if I don’t pay these, I get in trouble; MAINTAIN + CONSEQUENCE)
  • Health Tracker (live longer; I have to MAINTAIN it, or I die sooner; MAINTAIN + CONSEQUENCE)
  • Personal Website/Blog (online presence and branding; I need to maintain this otherwise content goes stale, security holes open up from no patches, etc. MAINTAIN + CONSEQUENCE)
  • Investments (we all want more money to feed ourselves and retire. MAINTAIN + CONSEQUENCE. But if YOU don’t care about retirement or money, then this is not an Area for you.)
Resources
  • Linux Communities (doesn’t matter if I look at it or not)
  • Games (not essential to my life, but fun; no consequences if I don’t maintain my game library)
  • Funny Gifs (maybe essential to my Slacks; not the end of the world if I don’t maintain this)

(From a work perspective)

Project Examples
  • Q4 Team Planning
  • XYZ Product Launch
Area Examples

  • Google Slides showing how Product ABC works (doesn’t matter if I don’t touch it; I didn’t create this so who cares)
  • Process Diagram showing how Team B works (doesn’t matter if I don’t touch it; I also didn’t create this and don’t expect it to be maintained, no biggie)
