This is the first research dispatch for The Beginner’s Mind Book Club’s inaugural research cycle. These notes are meant to show you where I am in the process as a Behind the Scenes/Watch Me Work

I will include my real-time workflow of my annotation process and transferring the marginalia to Obsidian in a follow-up article.

Our guided research question (if you are following along the research trail worksheet) this cycle:

What is the impact of social media on adult attention and cognitive performance?
