> I would recommend using some old school technology (pen/pencil and blank paper) and draw diagrams, write down every question and observation, notes.

I have found paper and pencil to work best for my brain trying to manage attention while doing many tasks, so I take this to heart. That said, I think there is probably a tool I can use to be significantly more effective in organizing my thoughts—but probably one made of paper and pencil in the genre of the bullet journal.

If anyone knows of any techniques of organizing notes like this, I’d be grateful for some names that I can google. For now, I’m going to try experimenting with various ways of using flashcards (ALA record cards).
