I finally learned what PARA actually means — and it fixed the chaos in my Obsidian vault overnight

I finally learned what PARA actually means — and it fixed the chaos in my Obsidian vault overnight

Published by skeptic

My Obsidian vault used to feel like a junk drawer. Notes everywhere, folders that made sense when I created them and nowhere near as much sense a week later, and a vague guilt every time I opened the app. I have tried the PARA method (Projects, Areas, Resources, Archives) on Google Drive before. So, as an Obsidian beginner, it felt a good starting point to re-organize my chaotic notes. Practicing this on two different knowledge management apps has helped me actually understand its versatility. More importantly, why the folders exist in that sequence. That one shift fixed the chaos. OS Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, iPadOS Developer Dynalist Inc. Pricing model Free Initial release March 30, 2020 Obsidian is a local-first, Markdown-based note-taking application that stores your notes as plain text files and lets you build interlinked “vaults” of knowledge. It supports plug-ins, graph visualisations, and full control of your data rather than locking you into a proprietary format. PARA isn’t a folder system but a mindset Folders are about action, not categories Saikat Basu/MakeUseOf …

Antiguo presidente de la Unión Soviética, Mijaíl GorbachovCrédito: Archivo RIA Novosti, imagen #850809 / Vladimir Vyatkin / CC-BY-SA 3.0 ENGLISH: 158 | When God Used an Ordinary Christian Woman to Speak to a Soviet Union President Uno de los mayores problemas que enfrenta la iglesia hoy en día es nuestra obsesión con las superestrellas cristianas. Tenemos evangelistas de televisión y mega pastores, pero creo que el Espíritu Santo quiere usar a creyentes comunes y corrientes, como tú y como yo, de maneras poderosas. Hace unas semanas, un amigo me envió un artículo sobre una historia publicada por la revista Crescendo en 1990, sobre cómo Dios usó poderosamente a una estudiante finlandesa de música llamada Päivyt Rajamäki. En octubre de 1989, el entonces presidente de la Unión Soviética, Mijaíl Gorbachov, tenía programada una visita a Finlandia. Cuando Päivyt escuchó la noticia, el Espíritu Santo le dijo: «¡Debes reunirte con él y decirle algo!» Durante los días siguientes, la urgencia continuó, pero ella no tenía idea de qué le diría a Gorbachov. Cuando Päivyt, que estudiaba violín en …

Inside Tokyo’s growing movement toward inclusive Para sports

Inside Tokyo’s growing movement toward inclusive Para sports

Published by Jenni Sidey

Along the edge of a polished court, wheelchairs sit side by side while office workers wait to take turns throwing balls. Similar scenes can now be found throughout the city of Tokyo as Para sports grow in popularity and acceptance throughout everyday life. Local government officials established an ambitious goal: to increase the percentage of Tokyo residents with disabilities who participate in sports to 50% by the year 2030. Recent statistics show that there is increasing momentum behind this goal. As of 2021, approximately 35.4% of residents with disabilities in Tokyo were participating in weekly sports activities, compared to 32.4% of that same population in 2018. In addition, there has been a positive increase in interest by other residents of Tokyo toward Para sports. The percentage of Tokyo residents who have expressed a desire to learn about Para sports increased from 43.6% in 2020 to 53% in 2021. The positive progress toward achieving these goals is not due to random chance, but rather is the result of multiple coordinated efforts to enhance accessibility and visibility …

Ocho razones por las cuales los dones espirituales aún son para hoy! Parte 2 – OpentheWord.org

Published by Sam Flores

El Espíritu Santo desciende en el Día de Pentecostéspor Anthony van Dyck, 1618, Wikipedia, Dominio Público En esta segunda parte de mi serie de dos partes sobre los Dones Espirituales, discuto las últimas tres de mis ocho razones por las cuales creo que los dones del Espíritu Santo están destinados para hoy. Comienzo con el hecho de que el Espíritu Santo está liberando Sus dones espirituales entre aquellos que ni siquiera creen en ellos. El Espíritu Santo incluso está liberando dones espirituales entre los cesacionistas Con eso, empiezo con mi sexta razón. Increíblemente, parece que el Espíritu Santo está liberando Sus dones espirituales entre aquellos que no creen en ellos. El Espíritu Santo está haciendo esto porque nos ama y quiere ayudar tanto a cesacionistas como a continuacionistas a construir el Reino de Dios. Y si esto significa colar un don espiritual de vez en cuando, así sea. La Iglesia Bautista del Sur, con 13 millones de miembros, es probablemente la denominación más grande que sostiene las opiniones cesacionistas. No creen en las lenguas o …
