Names - Long list
| Name | Notes |
|---|---|
| Area | This is the first A in PARA from Building a Second Brain |
| Business as Usual - BAU | [1] |
| Continuous activities | Source: Quora |
| Department - Afdeling | Like the department of a company. Strange and stuff term |
| Going concerns | Sounds like a bookkeeping term, but is quite apt. How does the abbreviation GC look? |
| Non-project work | Description, rather than a name. And quite an ugly one [2] |
| Ongoing processes | [3] |
| Operations - Activiteiten? | Maybe this is it - Quite simple source |
| Operationals | Worse than Operations |
| Operational activities | Let's a description, not really a useful or attractive name |
| Retainer | Source |
Names - Short list
I'm undecided about what term to use. My top-3:
- Area
- BAU
- Operations.
I think that it depends on the context what is the best term ⇒ Let go of it: Use whatever fits the situation and time will tell what it will be.
