Writing & Worldbuilding

Research Board

Organize findings by source type and topic. Rows are Topic (History, Science, Culture, Technology); columns are Source Type (Book, Article, Interview, Video).

What the two axes are

Rows — Topic

  • History
  • Science
  • Culture
  • Technology

Columns — Source Type

  • Book
  • Article
  • Interview
  • Video

And then pivot it

The same cards answer a different question when you swap the axes. Put Source Type down the side and Topic across the top and the board re-sorts itself — nothing is duplicated, nothing is re-entered, and every card keeps both of its values.
