I just open a plain text file and write down all the relevant information I discover about a topic, along with my own analysis and commentary.
By way of example, at one point I considered burning numerous movie and anime files I had downloaded using uTorrent into discs with the intent of watching them on a DVD player, which is something I had basically zero experience with. This is the document that emerged as I kept on adding my research notes to the bottom of a text file over the course of several days (weeks?).
Hey, I do the same thing to take notes. I even decorate the header with the “==” too! What I do is I download a pdf or epub of a book (from straight google search or libgen.info/index.php) and split the screen, notes on one side and the book on the other. If I turn off wifi, this can be fantastically productive.
