Great advice from @LoleenBerdahl on how to use targeted outlines.
I’ve started using targeted outlines last fall & find them super helpful. I fill in notes & ever more detailed info in the different sections & subsection.
I find this approach helps me unpack and develop my material, while providing a solid structure that grounds everything and holds it together.
If you find the middle (of the semester, a project, the season) to be a bit of a slog, be sure to check out my latest Academia Made Easier post.
