# INFORMA(C)TION No. 115 : Personal Taxonomies  ## Metadata - Author: [[PARA method]] - Full Title: INFORMA(C)TION No. 115 : Personal Taxonomies - Category: #articles - URL: https://mailchi.mp/daa382f82aee/m2n3dna8s1 ## Highlights - In his book Keeping Found Things Found, William Jones presents the concept of a personal unifying taxonomy, or PUT: a general scheme that “aims to classify and organize a person’s information regardless of form.” The idea is to decide how you will organize your stuff and then apply that classification scheme consistently in different systems or apps. - The first was inspired by Tiago Forte’s PARA method: top-level containers for projects, areas of focus, and reference materials, and consistently-named folders or categories under each of them. This is how I organize my document folders, tasks in OmniFocus, time-tracking entries, and my knowledge repository in DEVONthink.
