(OP here) The philosophy behind PARA is different from spaced repetition. Spaced repetition is super valuable when you want to keep all the information inside your head. PARA is more geared at when you want all the information available when you need it, and requires much less time/effort than Anki (I've tried both). Not to say that one is better than the other. Sometimes you need to access the information and cannot use the note taking system (e.g. you're a student and have a final exam coming up). But if memorization is not a requirement, then I find these other systems easier to use.
