I found another gem from that LSE blog: after you have your questions, you need to "look for evidence/case/example" . This means actively searching your resources for proof that helps you answer your own questions. They mention that evidence can be an example, a case analysis, or even a counter-argument you want to oppose.
This clicked for me. Instead of just summarizing everything I read, I'm now asking: "How is/are my evidence/s addressing my key questions? Are they making an effective claim?" . It turns writing from a chore into a puzzle. I'm actually building a case, not just dumping information. For anyone else struggling, try this "evidence mapping" approach—it’s a game-changer for structuring your argument logically.
