Why should you plan your research? Why keep a log? It saves you that most valuable commodity: TIME. Instead of diving down rabbit holes (irrelevant searches), duplicating earlier research, or feeling overwhelmed by 1,000s of research results (noise), this process will help you stay focused, find the right materials, and prevent research anxiety.
