Pyramid of Questions
Compile a "pyramid of questions" in a part of your workbooks separate from the
freewriting, personal reflections, and other mess. "Pyramid" because later
questions build on earlier ones. In the list would go the initial questions
(general & specific) for your projects, successive variants of your thesis
question, questions that arose during library research, possible questions
to ask informants, and so on. These questions could be crossed out when no
longer central to your evolving project and checked when satisfactorily
addressed.
