I think the idea should come first, then the research. It's good to be creative and think of ideas surrounding things, but the conducting the information check to back up and support your research should come after.
I am been fascinated with lithium recently. Primarily because it has a big impact on my life. It is an essential medicine throughout the world, but I am noticing some odd effects of it. It flattened me immediately.
I need to research it a bit more. From what I understand, it is an element (found on the periodic table), and it acts on the brain to help heal it and increase certain cell functioning. This information I gleamed form an informative YouTube video. But it would be nice to research this, and other aspects of health sciences using Wikipedia and perhaps the library. I am finding that channeling curiosity into reading is a good way to pass one's life. Sure, there have to be relationships, but understand the world through research and ideas is a rewarding pursuit and adds to contentedness in one's life, beyond material things.
When you think of the countless people out there chasing money, you have to wonder if they are truly fulfilled. The chase for money is fruitless because there is no limit to how much money you can have. As soon as you reach one ceiling, there is another one for you to pursue. It never ends.
Ideas, on the other hand, are valuable. But, in my writing, I would like to conduct ideas first and then research. l sit and ponder a lot and getting the facts to back up my musings would be useful.
