> The PARA method organizes digital information into Projects, Areas, Resources, and Archive, focusing on actionability. In contrast, Zettelkasten is a note-taking method that emphasizes linking ideas without a strict structure to foster new insights.

the Zettelkasten is a note-taking method. it focuses on links between notes and how to think in associations.
