It seems like the only real difference is where you put the effort. With Zettelkasten (Z), it's while reading, with PARA, it's before and after a project which might need those notes.
The Z method seems more scalable to me, since if I'm reading, I have time to spare.
- ZainRiz 6y ago(OP here) The argument I tried make in the article was twofold: 1) You read waaaay more than you use. So only summarizing what you're about to use in a project takes less time total. (and even then, it's just highlighting passages) 2) The best system is the one you stick with. Yeah, in an ideal world I'd be summarizing my readings right as I'm reading it (clearly I have time to spare in those moments). I tried to do that for a while. But I just couldn't stick with it. It felt too much like homework. It was a chore. The motivation wasn't there. This PARA based system is one I can actually stick with
