What system do you prefer? PARA, Zettelkasten, or anything else? I am asking because I am currently updating my Zettelkasten system for Notion, combining it with elements of PARA and Spaced Repetitions

Hi Philipp, IMHO opinion we should look at those frameworks as a reference instead of as a theoretical guide. As much as we learn from productivity frameworks, whether in personal productivity or professional performance, we are able to identify common patterns such as different dimension levels, categoryzing data in a structured way, and building a system or habit. What works the best for me is to establish a three dimension sequence for something like strategy, operations and tactics; or objectives, key resutls, and tasks. This is extremely useful in Notion using relational databases due to keep a father-child data structure. Fields like areas, projects or resources can be filled completing those sections. Also, I try to look at Notion as an application framework so I am not scared of creating databases for specific work or well-known tables such as resources, ideas, or notes. The good news is that Notion is dynamic and remains alive to be able to refine and consolidate the systems always. Hope this help! Curious to hear other opinions. Mariano.
