Show me the pattern in how I assemble evidence, and give one habit to change that will make the next article movable from ‘evidence collection’ to ‘argument drafting’ in half the time. Be concrete: what to do first when I open a new file, and one coordinating email I should send to Special Collections to prevent repeated dead ends.
