Research a topic and write structured notes

Multi-source research builds a rounded understanding that single articles never give.

1.Pick a topic you want to understand deeply.
2.Read 3 different sources — an article, a video, and a Wikipedia page.
3.Write structured notes: definition, why it matters, one example.
4.Star one thing you still don't fully understand and research that next time.

Why it works

A focused 45-minute research session on a specific question produces a better understanding than a week of casual browsing. Constraints (one question, one session) produce depth.

Best for

•Mornings
•When you've been half-thinking about a topic for days

Variations

•Write the question at the top of the page before starting — keeps you from drifting.
•Save sources as you go; searching 'that one article' later is a time sink.
