Day 130: Organize ideas from broadest ideas to smallest details.
The overall process for organizing your documents follows a very specific pattern, which may be implemented before writing or during the editing process.
- Identify your broadest ideas. These are the central themes that will be elaborated throughout the document. A document may have several or it may only have one. For example, a funding proposal may have two or three, which an essay or a letter may only have one.
- Identify the main ideas that support or address those broad ideas. These, not the broad ideas, will be specifically addressed in the document.
- Identify the details, arguments, facts, etc. that support the main ideas.
In most cases, you will address one broad idea at a time and discuss it fully with supporting ideas and details before discussing the next broad idea. The result is that you provide a full explanation of the broad ideas identified in step one. The organization will seem logical to the reader, which helps him or her make sense of what you are communicating.
