Build a reading binder for a project

A project binder should answer one question. It can include the assignment brief, core readings, and your working notes, while leaving unrelated references out.

A simple way to try it

  1. Write the project question in the notebook description or first note.
  2. Add the brief and a few essential sources.
  3. Track decisions and next actions in the scratchpad.
