I'm going thru a mental hell right now because I'm trying to set up a research project. Here are some things I'm learning.
1. have a clear idea of what information you're looking for
2. narrow your inquiry - eliminate "junk"
3. eliminate variables (as much as possible)
4. be clear and concise in your questions to avoid misunderstandings.
5. If at first you don't succeed - cry, cry again
6. use spell-check

Fail to plan = plan to fail!
Also... the moment you publish a plan it is out of date, so have backup plans and be prepared to make adjustments.
