What did I do to combat the thousands of tabs open of papers instead of just filing them away in endnote never to be seen again because I couldn't remember why I needed them?
I created an "At-A-Glance" Spreadsheet. #AcademicChatter #phdlife #phdvoice

My template was shared with my program cohort and includes a separate tab where they can change the projects and subtopics for automatically updating the data validation. This means you can add new projects and remove old ones with ease throughout your use of the sheet too!
How I use this spread sheet:
- this is one of the ONLY tabs I leave open throughout the day.
- when I find a resource (be it an article, website, news article, etc.) I first drop the link, then fill the title, then give a reason for why I thought it was useful

- when I find a resource (be it an article, website, news article, etc.) I first drop the link, then fill the title, then give a reason for why I thought it was useful
- after designating the other columns (i.e. project, subtopic, and reading progress), I can choose to sort my sheet by any of metrics
- I add important info to the knowledge gained or questions developed columns for summarization
- finally I 'score' the resource for my usefulness

Once I start writing a manuscript/grant/review/etc., that's when I file things into endnote.

We're all broke so I'm not charging for the template... but if you feel like donating, venmo is in my bio!
