I especially like the idea of using an outlining or task management tool with multiple views (folders and contexts/tags) to manage the linkages between sources and themes/chapters. You said "What I hope will result from this is a smoother writing process" -- two years on, can you comment on whether it was helpful in the writing process?

I used a lot of digital lists when I was writing my dissertation and book, and, until recently, to organize all the stuff I have to do.
