Every new field has its own vocabulary. Building a personal glossary as you research saves time on later projects in the same field.
When you start researching a new topic, half your time goes into understanding what words mean. "Photosynthesis" makes sense; "chemiosmosis" stops you cold.
If you write down the new word, its definition, and an example as you go, you can finish your project faster — and you have a head start on next year's bigger project.
When you start a project on a related topic next year, your glossary is your launchpad. You're not starting from scratch — you already know the vocabulary.
The big idea: a personal glossary turns research time into an investment. Every new term you define is a tool you keep forever.
