Hi Dave,

I really like the 3-7 categories tip to stay focused. I’ve come across sites with 20+ categories and you suffer from having too much choice and end up not selecting anything!

The writing of article titles on cards is a great tip. I’ve written mine out in a spreadsheet, but I’ve read in many a place that the act of writing by hand really involves the brain more. Then the advice to go do something else before compiling them is great too!

In fact, this whole article is spot on. I’m going to pass it on (once I’ve worked them social book marking things out).

Keep up the good work!

Andy
