Post-PARA: What survived 4 years of real use

But what‘s really working is GTD, which the article doesn‘t call out, but implicitly lumps together with PARA: actionable next tasks and collecting everything in some kind of inbox.
I haven‘t found much use for PARA itself in my personal life, but for organizing my work OneDrive it shines.
Seconded on GTD, or at least a version of it. I suck at consulting an app about what I could be doing in a given context. I’ve mostly discarded that, other than things like shopping lists and 1:1 meetings. But the idea of capturing every action I need to take, then routinely putting those in home/work/self/etc. buckets was life changing. I’m a devotee to that habit.
Have you seen my recent ‘task and project management’ course? I’m really happy with how the task part worked out, and feedback has been universally positive.
The project side has work to do. I think I’ve solved the problem and will be updating the course in the next month.
I was just thinking the other day that I've enjoyed seeing you guys turn this into a living. I hope this keeps working out well!
