Methods for gathering information

I keep track of my notes and things I need for a story usually on a single Google doc. This is, for me, an easy way to consolidate everything in one place. Operating on one document also is a memory exercise to where I can remember where something was on the document and remember putting it on there. I like having everything in one place and not having to go to several different places to find something. It might not be the most organized or efficient method, but it is the one that works best with the way my mind works and operates when I undertake a big project. When it’s time to write, I usually just scroll up and down on that document. It becomes a game of sorts, as I put all the puzzle pieces together where they need to go based on what I have. That is my process, and while I am definitely open to change, it’s what has worked best for me thus far.
