As a fan of Tiago's work, I've been using PARA for quite some time now. Most of the information here can be found on Tiago's blog or social channels, but having it condensed into a neatly packaged book made such a difference. It covers all the essential details, and I walked away with some new lessons learned. It's a short read with a powerful (and actionable) punch. I highly recommend it for both existing and new PARA users.

As with The Second Brain book, this was more of a scan than a read. Helpful. While scanning I tried CODE and PARA methods to capture notes. Well worth whatever effort. But as with most systems and methods, cost of maintenance might spiral out of control.

After reading Building A Second Brain, I noticed that PARA (and also the CODE method) were most important to me. I lean less towards creative pursuits, my interest is more in capturing and organising my knowledge because remembering things is so often an issue. So this was the perfect companion book that goes well into detail on how to organise everything, and what pitfalls to watch out of, as well as the 'why' around everything. I'm not sure if this book would read well on its own, but if you're coming from Youtube and pick up the BASB basics there it should work fine.

A good and short guide to the PARA method. I would have ranked this one higher if I hadn't read Building a Second Brain (also by the author). This book contributes very little if you have already read BASB.

The advice makes sense honestly

Would it help with procrastination? Works partially, does reduce the chances of procrastination! (For me at least)
