“I'M GOOD AT SAVING INFORMATION, BUT TERRIBLE AT ORGANIZING AND FINDING IT
LATER.”

Ever wasted precious hours looking for an important piece of information you
were sure you saved?

It happens to all of us! 

Living a modern life requires juggling a ton of information. But we were never
taught how to manage this information effectively so that we can find what we
need when we need it. 

Let’s face it: Most of us have notes and files scattered all over the place…in
random Google docs, on Post-it notes, on Dropbox, a dozen browser tabs, paper
notebooks, and three different notetaking apps (weren’t they supposed to be THE
solution?)

Your digital world has become a “digital dumpster” where good ideas and crucial
information gets lost, causing an unbelievable level of overwhelm and stress. 

It doesn’t have to be that way!

You can transform your digital environment into a place where you consistently
get done the work that’s most important to you, with the help of everything
you’ve learned and collected in the past.

Here’s how…



THE PARA METHOD EXPLAINED

WHAT IF I TOLD YOU THAT YOU CAN ORGANIZE ALL THE INFORMATION IN YOUR LIFE IN
JUST 4 MAIN CATEGORIES? 


PROJECTS

THINGS YOU’RE ACTIVELY WORKING ON RIGHT NOW 


AREAS

ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES YOU’RE MANAGING OVER TIME


RESOURCES

TOPICS YOU’RE INTERESTED IN THAT COULD BE USEFUL IN THE FUTURE


ARCHIVES

COMPLETED OR INACTIVE ITEMS FROM THE OTHER THREE CATEGORIES


IT’S TRULY THAT SIMPLE!


TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR DIGITAL ENVIRONMENT WITH ONE SIMPLE METHOD 

THE PARA METHOD IS THE EASIEST WAY TO KEEP YOUR LIFE IN ORDER SO THAT YOU CAN
FOCUS ON LIVING IT. 

SIMPLE

ALL YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER ARE 4 CATEGORIES.

INTUITIVE

YOU’LL BE ABLE TO ORGANIZE YOUR INFORMATION IN SECONDS. 

FORGIVING

YOUR PARA SYSTEM DOESN’T HAVE TO BE 100% PERFECT FOR IT TO BENEFIT YOU. 

EVERYWHERE

PARA WORKS WITH YOUR COMPUTER FILES, CLOUD STORAGE, NOTETAKING APP, AND ON ANY
DEVICE YOU USE.

RELIABLE

PARA IS FOREVER. SINCE IT’S PLATFORM AGNOSTIC, IT WON’T GO OUT OF DATE. 

FLEXIBLE

ONCE YOU’VE MASTERED THE BASICS, FEEL FREE TO CUSTOMIZE IT TO YOUR SPECIFIC
NEEDS.

   you.

   anxiety around missing something and hello to peace of mind.

“PARA has both reduced the chaos in my mind and helped me with information
overwhelm.”

STEFAN HOFFMANN

Freelance Facilitator

“I have much greater confidence in what I'm storing, how I'm storing it, and
more importantly how to put it to use.”

PATRICK STRUBBE

Founder and Owner of Preservation Specialists, LLC

“I have been using this system for a while now and it has changed my ability to
organize things. I was just a mess of files in random folders and on desktop
before. Now I can find anything in a few seconds without “search.”

HI, I’M TIAGO FORTE

I’ve spent more than 10 years researching and experimenting with a new way of
organizing our digital lives and improving our productivity using technology.

What started as a quest to deal with a chronic illness eventually turned into a
life-long mission to help you harness the full potential of your ideas and turn
them into reality. I firmly believe this is a crucial part of creating a better
future for all of us.

Over the years, I’ve taught thousands of people around the world how to clear
the mental clutter, organize their knowledge, and capitalize on the full
potential of their thinking through my popular online course Building a Second
Brain.

I’ve taught the PARA Method live in 16 cohorts with over 6,000 students, which
allowed me to vastly improve every part of it and make sure it works for a wide
range of people.
‍
‍I can’t wait to share it with you!




Based on Tiago’s work with the following organizations and over 25,000 online
learners

WHO SHOULD READ THE PARA METHOD?

If you…

 * Often can’t find the information you’re looking for even though you know you
   saved it
 * Feel disorganized and scattered trying to keep track of everything
 * Experience anxiety at the thought of deleting anything
 * Struggle to prioritize and stay on track of your projects
 * Have been trying to find the “perfect system” for organizing your notes and
   files 
 * Feel overwhelmed and too busy to build an organization system for yourself 

Then the PARA Method will be a life-saver for you. 

Imagine if you could organize your entire digital life, including the dozens of
different platforms and apps you use, within one simple system.

Imagine if that system supported and enabled you to reach your most important
goals, without requiring tedious filing or time-consuming maintenance.

And finally, imagine if you could implement this system in just a few minutes,
with minimal effort.

Try it out for yourself!


“I’ve never explicitly valued my attention, but I found myself regretting how
much I’ve forgotten about the 100s of articles I read monthly — 100s of hours of
attention, wasted! At work, I couldn’t easily find materials for my current
projects — much less my previous projects. My attention was scattered. Tiago’s
system isn’t complicated or strict, which allows you to grow your very own
personalized digital cortex. Now I can match my work to my mood and add value to
my projects no matter what the week throws at me. In the two months since
starting, I’ve produced three blogposts, planned three backpacking trips,
decluttered my room, created an enterprise workshop, and got admitted into a
developer conference. All using the *SAME* system! I’m living the PARA lifestyle
now, and I’m never going back. This way lies not just productivity, but
happiness and ease of mind.”

FAQS

How is this different from the Building a Second Brain book?


PARA is one part of the Building a Second Brain methodology. While Building a
Second Brain explains the full methodology, The PARA Method is a practical,
actionable guide on implementing PARA specifically.

‍The PARA Method goes into more detail and answers the most common questions
that people have about its implementation.

In which formats is The PARA Method available?


The PARA Method is available as a hardcover, ebook, and audiobook.

Why should you consider buying multiple copies of this book?


If you’re wondering what you’re going to do with multiple copies of a book, here
are some ideas for how you can use them:

• As gifts for people you care about, such as on birthdays and holidays
• Host a book club with your friends, neighbors, or coworkers
• Give them to your team or department for their professional development
• Give them to the attendees of a conference, summit, or retreat you’re
organizing
• Provide them as giveaways to your community, event, or social media followers
• Gift them to your clients and customers as a thank you for their support
• Donate to a library, youth center, church, or non-profit (with a potential tax
deduction)

As you can see, there are countless ways you can use multiple copies of a book
like this one. It will train you in new ways of organizing the information in
your life, but those changes are most powerful and sustainable when you bring
others along on your journey.

Is The PARA Method available in other languages?


At the moment, The PARA Method is available in English, German, and Thai. But
we're happy to announce that the book will be translated into Arabic,
Traditional Chinese, Spanish, Polish, and Vietnamese. We’ll announce the
publishing dates and any other translations as soon as they’re confirmed.

received. You can access

What should I do if I have other questions? 


Please email support@fortelabs.com with any questions not answered here.

“I’ve got some big ambitious goals….I feel like I’ve got the tools to be able to
take on longer-term projects and have them persist over a long period of time,
and allow for that incubation period, and allow for serendipity, allow for ideas
to marinate, allow different perspective… opening up that wheel and making
progress every single day, has been very fulfilling and really just a
life-changer as far as overall happiness goes.”
