PARA-style Obsidian Vault Template

An opinionated, ready-to-use Obsidian vault: numbered PARA-style folders, native Bases dashboards, QuickAdd capture flows and Templater templates. Clone it, open it, and start capturing.

Note on language: the system's content (dashboards, templates, usage guide) is in Spanish — this template is shared as-is from a real working vault. The structure and configuration work the same in any language, and everything is plain Markdown if you want to translate it.

Folder structure

Folder	Purpose
00 Inbox	Unclassified quick captures. Not an archive: process it or empty it.
10 Diario	Daily notes (YYYY-MM-DD). The operational log of the day.
20 Proyectos	One canonical note per project (goal, status, decisions, related meetings/resources).
30 Reuniones	Meeting notes, linked to their project.
40 Recursos	Reusable knowledge: guides, runbooks, hub notes with an entry-point index.
50 Areas	Stable areas of responsibility (Trabajo / Personal). Projects change; areas don't.
90 Paneles	Dashboards and the system's usage guide (Guía de uso).
95 Plantillas	Templater templates used by QuickAdd and daily notes.
99 Archivo	Archive for retired notes.

How it works — daily flow

1. Capture everything in the daily note or 00 Inbox (QuickAdd: Captura rápida). These are entry points, not storage.
2. Promote what survives: QuickAdd actions create a project, meeting or resource note from a template, asking for area, status or project as needed.
3. Review from the dashboards: Home is the single entry point (auto-opened by Homepage); Revisión semanal surfaces projects whose review date is overdue; Mantenimiento de la vault finds organizational gaps.

Frontmatter is the backbone: every promoted note carries type (project / meeting / reference / area), area (work / personal) and, where relevant, status, project, review, source. Dashboards query those properties — the full property schema lives in .obsidian/types.json.

The complete manual is in 90 Paneles/Guía de uso.md.
