How do you approach the research process for your videos?

Every time I want to make a video, i start by choosing an idea after days, sometimes weeks of overthinking what to choose, then comes the research process, and oh boy i spend a lot of time there. From remembering moments from the show i watched as kid (i talk about cartoons mostly 🤣), to hoping from one article to another, to asking chatgpt (which always suck cause it give the stupidest answers at times) and then after some procrastination, I finish the research and start working on the script (which also takes a while cause i’m a pro procrastinator). So just wondering how y’all do your research 😁 Hope everyone is having a lovely week

PS: I may have worded the question poorly, i’m talking about the research that goes around the ideas i already have
