Book research, box 1
With 4 rounds of printing, and a trip to the Post Office, I am crossing off a major item off my GTD list of projects. So now it's back to distilling the factual material I have gathered on my travels on Highway 89 into something usable.
I plowed through a pile of books, magazine and newspaper articles, brochures, and PDFs of web pages before we left for Montana, but the new stuff is piling up. After I cook some goodies for the holiday, it's back in my chair with a stack of blank 3x5 cards. This method actually works for me far better than a computer, because I can sort through them while writing, using my hands to organize my thoguhts. It works sometimes, "take the body and the mind will follow." And all of my driving and shooting notes are from my hipster PDA, so I can work with all of the material at once.
How many cards, facts will be enough? I won't know until I'm done. At least another box. This one's full. Like I plan to be, about this time tomorrow. Happy Thanksgiving to all.
