What really helped me was using the Zettelkasten system, as described in S. Ahrens "How to Take Smart Notes". I don't follow it exactly as described although the principles it describes were eye opeining to me.

How funny - it got me through the same course but barely 2-3 years ago.

It just got me through my first project in a class this semester! I suspect it will be assisting students for quite some time to come.

I'm not saying anything but there's a gitlab source clone of this on debian's repo :) https://salsa.debian.org/debian/youtube-dl

I'd guess quantum research

Thank you :)
