+#+TITLE: Second Brain
+#+AUTHOR: Amr + Sol
+#+DATE: 2026-03-04
+#+OPTIONS: toc:2
+#+STARTUP: overview
+
+* 🧠 Second Brain Setup
+
+This is the central hub for our knowledge management system using:
+- *Org-mode* for structure
+- *org-roam* for Zettelkasten linking
+- *org-gtd* for task management
+- *PARA* for organization (Projects, Areas, Resources, Archive)
+
+**Core Principles:**
+1. *Capture* everything to inbox_mind.org/ → Zero friction entry
+2. *Clarify* daily → Process into system or discard
+3. *Connect* knowledge → Use org-roam linking
+4. *Create* from notes → Publish to 4_published/
+5. *Maintain* → Archive to 5_archive/ when inactive
+
+* Directory Structure

+* Methods Integration
+
+**Zettelkasten (org-roam)**
+- Notes in 1_thinking/notes/ get an ID
+- Link with [[id:UUID][Description]]
+- Build Maps of Content (MOCs) as indexes
+- Fleeting notes → Literature notes → Permanent notes
+
+**GTD (org-gtd)**
+- @INBOX: 0_inbox/ processes daily
+- @TODAY: What to do NOW (agenda view)
+- @NEXT: Context lists (@home, @office, @call)
+- @WAITING: Delegated items
+- @SOMEDAY: Ideas without active planning
+
+**PARA (Projects, Areas, Resources, Archive)**
+- *Projects*: Goal + deadline → 6_projects/
+- *Areas*: Ongoing responsibility → 1_thinking/areas/
+- *Resources*: Reference material → 2_reference/
+- *Archive*: Inactive items → 5_archive/
+
+**Daily Workflow**
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC
+08:00 | CAPTURE: Empty brain into 0_inbox/
+09:00 | CLARIFY: Process inbox → clarify or delete
+10:00 | ORGANIZE: File clarified items to PARA
+14:00 | CONNECT: Work in 1_thinking/, link notes
+16:00 | REFLECT: Review, archive, plan tomorrow
+#+END_SRC
+
+* PARA Explained
+
+**Projects (6_projects/)**
+- Has a deadline or clear outcome
+- Example: "Build kitchen table", "Launch website v2"
+- When done → archive or convert to area
+
+**Areas (1_thinking/areas/)**
+- Ongoing responsibility without end date
+- Example: "Health", "Finances", "Skills"
+- Maintained continuously
+
+**Resources (2_reference/)**
+- Things I may reference later
+- Example: "Python Regex", "Project Management patterns"
+- Actively curated
+
+**Archive (5_archive/)**
+- Inactive projects, areas, resources
+- NOT deleted—still searchable
+- Re-activate anytime
