I personally use a mix of physical notebooks, printouts, Notes in the Apple Notes app, Photos app folders for screenshots, Google Drive, and, recently, the free app Zotero to keep everything organized. It’s a complex system to support the many ways I gather and assimilate information. Over time, I’ve made different little habits to help me get back to information when I need it.
How do you organize your research and study materials? Are you happy with your system (if so, please share your tips!)? Is there room for improvement (and how so, do you imagine?).
Also, this is a quick reminder about tomorrow’s workshop about curating your own research database for paid subscribers and guests (registration info here).
I'm working on organizing my research in an Airtable database, and I like it so far. I hadn't heard of Zotero, however, so I'll check that out!
