Pretty much - groupings, relationships (I mostly think in relationships), models, whatever the data tells me it is - sometimes it’s cause and effect, mindmap, an analogy that I literally draw out and label, flow chart, hierarchy, model whatever. The most helpful ones I save elsewhere and add to it from future journals.
As I write I circle emotions. I underline keywords, I highlight examples. Then when I’m ready I go back and piece them together.
That’s a really structured approach!
The diagram you refer to - is that grouping (or even graphing) your journal notes?
