Organize your files using the P.A.R.A system

Create P.A.R.A folders.
Create folders named projects, areas, resources, and archives. These folders should consist of:

• Projects - is where you’ll put all the current projects you’re working on. 
• Areas - is a place for long-term general areas you are working on. 
• Resources - is a place for all the topics of your interest you can use one day in your projects. 
• Archive - is where you’ll put inactive items from projects, areas, and resources you don't need now but will use someday.

Fill in the "Projects" folders.
Once you've identified your projects, copy and paste any relevant data, notes, and materials into the corresponding project folders.

Fill in the "Areas" folders.
Copy and paste items that are related to specific life areas. You can create folders such as the work area, hobby area, health area, home area, creativity area, etc. For example, if any of your notes are important for your work, but you're not using them in any project now, just transfer them to the "Work area" folder.

Fill in the "Resources" folders.
Copy and paste all unspecified topics of your interest in this folder.

Move remaining notes to the "Archive" folder.
Take all inactive files you don't need currently and put them into the archive folder.
