Set a goal
Step 2 – Collect information

Decide how much time you can devote to research. If you are not specific, you easily can waste time learning interesting things, but not achieve your purpose promptly.

Make a research list and refer to it as you advance your project. Your plan should include:

· Questions to answer

· Topics to flesh out

· Milestone dates for completing phases of your research

· Likely sources

· Locations of those sources
