Subject Lack of Ideas for Research Paper (No Retention).

After two weeks of pondering and developing research topics, the lack of thoughts proved to be an unacceptable amount of ideas for writing an extensive paper on a topic.

Lack of Thought Retention
Ideas for a research paper seem like an easy task in which a student picks a topic and writes on an idea after extensive exploration and development. One would hope to provide a reader with thoughts and points to make the given idea a probable thought to process. After attempting to pass on these thoughts it was clear to see that when ideas and thoughts are developed without deep entranced thought, the idea may seem to drift and merge with other thoughts defeating the entire goal of encouraging one idea to maintain its focus.

Practice Makes Better (Not Perfect)
To prove this idea wrong one must develop a distinct and well thought out plan to maintain a course discipline in concentration and development of mind processing ideas to stay in the moment rather than drifting from conscious to daydream. One way to acquire retention skills one can practice with two easy skills: read and remember. Do this over and over again in various locations until you find the most suitable environment for your mind to retain thoughts in which you can put together a stream of knowledge and use it in the future.

I cannot help you, you can help yourself.
