Looking at that, how do you manage your time and deadlines? Do you arbitrarily decide, ‘enough is enough,’ or do you plot out what research you will need as you begin, and set an internal schedule for that? BTW, downloaded Evernote and I love it already.Jenny Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03797075500580921553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732524910949814811.post-37573577624508341992020-02-23T18:14:08.176-05:002020-02-23T18:14:08.176-05:00Wow, what an eye-opening approach to organization....Wow, what an eye-opening approach to organization.

Most helpful to me, though, was showing the importance and details of timelines--the big picture.

Question- How do you save your video- from the internet? History Channel, etc? Is there a problem with saving the content if it's for research and not for resale? Thanks for all of the organizing hints! Great post.
