Tuesday, March 26, 2024 | 3:00PM–3:45PM ET | Ballroom A-C (Exhibit Hall)
Session Type: Poster Session
Delivery Format: Poster Session
This presentation is a case study of how one faculty member tamed her digital clutter by using ideas from personal knowledge management and business self-help books. In my talk, I will outline the transition from the original file organization (by traditional faculty life categories: teaching, research, and service) to the new organization system that follows the PARA (Projects, Areas of Responsibility, Resources, and Archive ) method developed by Tiago Forte.
