Second Brain PARA: Obsidian Template Vault in Plain Markdown

$5 for the complete PARA system as plain markdown files. No app lock-in, no subscription.

You've tried the productivity apps. You end up with 47 folders you never open again.

The Second Brain ships the PARA method as 14 plain markdown files: four folders, one rule, and the weekly checklist that keeps it alive.

What's inside: 1-Projects for anything with a deadline, 2-Areas for the things you maintain, 3-Resources for reference material you'll reuse, 4-Archive for finished work. Areas arrives pre-built with five files (Finances, Health, Career, Home and Learning), each with the prompts to answer as your situation changes.

Plus an INBOX to dump into so capturing takes one keystroke, a 15-minute Friday review checklist with the time split written out, and 3 templates: project (with a done-when gate), meeting notes and book notes.

Plain markdown means zero lock-in. There is no database behind these files, so you can open the folder in Obsidian, Notion, Logseq, Bear or a text editor. I have not run an import in each of those, so treat the first one as a check, not a leap. Your notes stay yours forever.

Set up once in a few minutes. Maintain in 15 minutes a week. Stop re-organizing and start finding things.

30-day refund policy: if it doesn't save you hours in week one, full refund.
