@neeksmith Yes. Those new matches can definitely shift your focus. #genchat

[Scott Niblick @SNiblick]

A6: a mix of both. Sometimes I like to map out a plan. Other times I just jump in and start research #Genchat

Q6 #genchat What kind of research plan works best for you? (formal/informal, etc)

[Scott Niblick @SNiblick]

A5 cont: and Scrivener or something else to write it out. Working on getting myself to write research reports or proof statements/summary/arguments #Genchat

[Scott Niblick @SNiblick]

A5: Evernote, mind maps, paper, Trello, index cards, dry-erase board and more depending on project #Genchat

Q5 #genchat What tools do you use to organize your thoughts and process?

[Scott Niblick @SNiblick]

A4: notepad beside me to write things down. Additional research ideas or databases for later so I can stay on track. Sometimes I use paper; sometimes EverNote. #Genchat

Q4 #genchat How do you remain on task? How easily can you pick up where you left off?
