For your next project
Keep your sources
within reach.
Research often starts with a few links and grows into a collection you no longer remember in detail. Recall gives those sources a place, a summary, and a way back.
See how it works
Start with the question you are exploring
Create a folder for the project: a product idea, an essay topic, or a decision you need to make. Save the web articles that contribute useful evidence or context.
Add a short note to explain why each source belongs. “Defines the problem” is more useful later than relying on a title you barely remember.
Review the collection before reading everything again
Use summaries and insights to remind yourself what a saved article contributes. Mark items as read as you work through them and favorite the sources you return to most.
A summary helps you orient yourself; the original source is still where you should verify a claim, quotation, or important detail.
Follow a line of thought through your sources
Explore related links to revisit other sources in your library. When you remember a concept but not the source, use search by meaning.
Keep the original source close as you develop your own ideas. Your notes can record the argument a source supports or the question you still need to investigate.
Collect on one device, work on another
Save an article on iPhone when you discover it, then review the project on Mac or iPad once iCloud sync has transferred the change. Your research folder remains the place to continue.
A few useful details
Questions about Research.
Can I keep my own observations with a source?
Yes. Add notes to saved links to preserve the reason you saved them or what you want to revisit.
How do I find a source when I have forgotten its title?
Search for its subject or describe the detail you remember. Semantic search helps find relevant pages in your saved library.
Save it for later.
Find it when it matters.
