This sounds like an issue I encountered before.
I’ve been using the ZK process to manage my note taking system, but some pain points remained unresolved:
- Sometimes I need to save the original text of some literature, such as web page archives, personal output article archives, and templates, which have no place in the ZK system.
- Daily goals and some structured materials (like collections of test questions) have no place to be stored.
- Sometimes engineering like files, such as code snippets, color matching references, and plugins, have nowhere to be placed.
Initially, I added a major category in the ZK system: 专案（I’m not sure how to accurately translate this word
,like “a special project case”）
Is look like:
- Fleeting
- Literatur
- Permanent
- 专案 (special project case)
But it’s still a bit strange to use, it’s like a universal pocket.
Recently, I came across PARA integrated vault ，which sparked my inspiration. PARA can be used by me for goal management and archiving.
This concept can perfectly solve my question: PARA-Resources stores original archivals, like book,literature, web archives, originals from other software sync, and code snippets. PARA-Area has self output content. PARA-Project handles project progress management.
New category look like:
- Fleeting
- Literatur
- Permanent
- PARA-Projects
- PARA-Areas
- PARA-Resources
- PARA-Archives
This is my share ,maybe can help you:
