“What matters now is the ability to elevate your perspective above the fray of the day-to-day noise, remain in a place of calm perspective, and from that place to orchestrate the people, systems, tools, and flows of information surging around you.”
~ Tiago Forte. The PARA Method: Simplify, Organise and Master Your Digital Life
Welcome to the era of the wisdom worker??
Why Knowledge Alone Isn’t Enough
Knowledge is no longer relevant.
It’s actually overwhelming.
No one needs more information.
We're drowning in it!
What we all need is curated, applied just-in-time information that solves specific issues.
It’s not about "What do you know?" but "How can this be useful to me right now?"
My Knowledge Management Journey
People hire me to draw connections no one else sees and to show use-cases that improve their specific issues.
To do this effectively, I need to manage what's in my head better??.
And there’s a lot to manage!
David Allen (we had him on our podcast, remember?)
“Your mind is for having ideas, not holding them.”
So, I'm upgrading my knowledge management system from chaotic and scattered all over millions places somewhere in the cloud to a structured, purposeful, flexible, just-in-time and for this case one.
Most importantly, searchable and optimized to retrieve just-in-time to create value.
Inspiration from Alex Hormozi
Listening to an episode of the Game/Alex Hormozi podcast, I learned how his business success soared when he started documenting why he failed and how he succeeded.
All the information we need to keep growing and increasing our successes is already in our possession often. We just forget it’s there and fail to capture the details we can actually use today.

Introducing the PARA System
Enter the PARA system by Tiago Forte, a leading productivity expert and coach.
PARA stands for Projects, Areas, Resources, and Archives—a simple way to organize your accumulated knowledge and experience based on usability and current goals.
My Summer Project
This summer, I’m organizing and structuring my systems, starting with PARA. I highly recommend picking up this short book on the process.
Why This Matters to Your Success
You aren’t paid to know more.
We are paid to deliver results, create structure, and systems for streamlined execution.
Structures and systems to get people what they want.
“If more knowledge was the answer, we’d all be billionaires with 6 pack abs.” ~ Derek Sivers.
We are paid to create order in the chaos of other people’s lives.
Get Organized! ???
That’s what you are paid for.
