August Bradley’s version of Tiago Forte’s PARA Method.

The core of August Bradley’s Notion-based “Life Operating System” is, what he calls Pillars, Pipelines, & Vaults. This closely mirrors Tiago Forte’s PARA Method.

Pillars

Pillars are “things that hold the roof up”. Roughly these seem to translate to Areas from PARA.

Pillars contain Goals.

Example Pillars:

  • Learning
  • Family
  • Health & Fitness
  • Product Development
  • Home

Pipelines

These are the things you’re working on. They’re basically Projects from PARA. His Pipelines are more around workflows, though. He’s got a “Projects” database that is linked to, but not the same as his Pipelines database.

Vaults

These are the least well defined. They are very roughly translated over to the Resources part of PARA, but also the Archives part.

Example Vaults

  • Knowledge Management
  • Media (Book reviews, podcast notes)
