Let me see what’s in chapter three or four. Might have the type of material i need for the point i’m trying to make, and then i’ll go back to the book to find out information. Rie to have a bunch of notes like this, i

also have

folders. So i’m going here to my writing folder on my mack. And now i am going to see here the folder for this. Boo. A world without emale. All right. So then in my a world without e male folder on my back my mack, i have a folder called research. And so i have a bunch of folders in here as well. So basically, what are these folders and how are they different? In evernote, for whatever reason, when i’m dealing with files, i like to keep them in my directory structure on computer, as opposed to, i guess you can attach files and ever note. I just trust is more. I’m a drop box fan, and all my different machines use drop box to synchronize my main directory. So you know, any file i add to this directory, not only doesit show up all my other machines, but it’s also stored in drop box folders. Actually, drew huston, the c e o of drop box is one of the endorsers. Is an endorsement from drew the new book. He’s very interested in these types of ideas. We overlapped each other, actually. A little bit interesting tid bit at m i t. I think he was a master student, or an undergrad computer science student at m i t, while i was also a grad student there. All right, so i’m looking through here, and ah, its articles, mainly. Tso like i just mentioned, i just mentioned, for example, that i had done slash dot notes on a book called social physics. I had a note in every note that kind of quickly summarized the type of stuffs in each chapter. So i cold i could more easily draw stuff from that book when i’m trying to put together a chapter. In my directory on my mack, in the research folder for this book, i have a directory called articles from social physics. And inside it i have one, two, three, four, five. These are p df of academic articles that are cited in that book that i thought were particularly relevant, or potentially relevant, to the book i was writing. So i have a bunch of these directories underneath research ar collection of academic articles stored in p d forma. The other thing i find in this research directory is transcripts of interviews. So i did a bunch of i views. I tend to take notes real time when i do interviews. I do the interviews on the phone and take notes real time. All of those are being stored in these directories as well. Allright, so that’s a look at how i actually store this information. Ad and then when i start working on a chapter for a book, i’m drawing from these notes. I’m reading these papers, and i begin to build an annotated outline straight in micro sopt word, which is what i currently use. Thohm, interested in scrivener, so i’ll put a pin in that, but for now, i dist use microso word because i know it. And i’ll build out a sort of annotated outline in a word document for that chapter, where i begin trying to figure out what i want to say and what order i want to say. And i begin pulling information, you knowt out o ever note. I go to these articles stored in my research directories, and i pull out the relevant ones and read them and pull out quotes, and i get this big some ad hock form added annotated outline that grows hor i’m kind of pulling in and making sense of what i want to say, ind al the materials. And once that gets into a form i like, and i’ve pulled in all the stuff and want to pull into the word document at the top of it, i start writing. So that when i’m writing that chapter, i’m looking just primarily at information that’s in the same document. I can really work on it anywhere. And that is how chapters are formed. Rit s, question. Good question, because it gave me a chance to get a little bit more in the weeds about how i actually organize and store the information. Went on working on a book chapter. T take a moment here to talk about ment mobile. As i mentioned on monday’s episode, ment mobile offers premium wireless plans for only fifteen dollars a month.
