PARA works flawlessly in “offline mode” for one simple reason: it puts all the material you’ll most likely need access to on-the-go in one place—your Projects folder.
Rather than having to hunt down all the documents related to a given project in a dozen different places, they are already in one place. The Projects folder also happens to be the smallest in terms of required disk space—only about 1 percent of all my digital notes, for example, live under “Projects”—which makes it easy to download them to your local device when you know you won’t have Internet access but still need access to your information.
Take a minute to activate offline mode for just the Projects folder (and its subfolders) on each device you use while traveling, in transit, or when you just want to shut off the Wi-Fi and focus.9
