I tried a different approach this time – I went to the local shops and bought about 6 packs of 5×3 inch index cards. I then wrote down every single idea onto a different index card, and then spread them out over the kitchen table. I then found it remarkably easy to see all the material in a convenient-to-manipulate format. It was very easy to group the slides that went together, string them into a coherent story and figure out ways to link the pieces together.
This is how my fifth grade teacher taught me to cull data to write a report, and I still use it whenever I really need to organize information.
