Organizing lots of thought snippets

I’ve probably evangelised SBJ methods in the past, and I don’t apologise for that. His composing method of a few years ago - in my mind summarised as “First, develop your outline; second, drag carefully selected pieces of evidence/research into your outline at the appropriate nodes; third, write your essay/paper/article around the pieces of evidence/research” - has always seemed to me to be a useful response to the not-infrequent DT or Scrivener forum question “How do I compose a factual article/essay using DevonThink/Scrivener/both?”.

But I must admit that “mini-chunking” has never been part of my credo.
