Something I learned late in my academic life and since trying to implement in most of my teaching: When you do science, you actively have to revisit all your documentation regularly and think of ways to paint a bigger picture of your findings.
When you just document, your viewpoint is sort of chronological or even biographical.
Explaining a new finding in the order you found the puzzle pieces leading to that discovery, usually is not the best way to explain or write about it.
