Complete CODE/PARA practice, the process is relatively complete and standardized, generally recommended to use this example repository!

LifeOS Pro IPO Vault

In knowledge management, IPO typically refers to the process of Input, Processing, and Output. This model describes the entire journey of knowledge from acquisition and processing to application.

In the IPO model:

  1. Input: This marks the starting point of knowledge management, involving the collection and acquisition of information. Input can include data, documents, research, personal experiences, external information, etc. The quality of input is crucial to the entire knowledge management process.

  2. Processing: At this stage, the input information is analyzed and refined to make it useful and applicable. Processing activities may include analysis, synthesis, evaluation, interpretation, storage, and sharing of knowledge. The goal of this phase is to transform raw data and information into valuable knowledge.

  3. Output: This is the final stage of knowledge management, where processed knowledge is applied to real-world problems to create value. Output can include decisions, solutions, new products, improved processes, training materials, etc.

Can be simply understood as a simplified version of the CODE/PARA practice, it greatly reduces the entry threshold for beginners. Users only need to focus on input, output, and themes, and easily record, organize, and use notes.

At the same time, you can also base this on it to design your own note system and workflow without PARA, which is a very imaginative feature!
