Thanks Mike!
I will look up both X-mind Zen and this pomodoro technique. There is so much info out there to gather on any given subject. Finding ways to organize is essential. Perhaps that is half the battle! Today is day 3 and I've another 1000 words to write. Today I will strive to write an article rather than a journal. Let's see how I do. Journalling is so much easier, I'm learning the research part is going to be my next hurdle. We do it all the time, but somehow researching for writing is bit different.
