A memo is an elegant and concise way to remind your loved one of tips for all occasions in conditions when they constantly fly out of your head. One has only to spend a little time and effort, and you will not have to rebuild a certain algorithm in your head, because it will always be at your fingertips. In our opinion, the benefits are obvious.
Instructions
Step 1
Gather all the necessary information that will form the basis for a future memo. Flip through thematic literature, surf the net, ask friends and acquaintances who understand the issue, or finally rummage in the corners of your own memory. At this stage, we need everything, we will deal with filtering later.
Step 2
Decide on a carrier. If the tips and information in the cheat sheet does not cover any mobile area, i.e. such a typical memo for couch potatoes, you can safely place it as a file on your desktop or even make a note somewhere on Vkontakte, if your life is bad without social networks. People who are less detached from reality can be advised to print or write a memo with their own hands, and then hang it somewhere in a conspicuous place. If the topic of the memo is such that you will have to carry it with you, think about its size and the amount of information that you want to include in it. We'll either have to practice brevity or remember the student years, when one cheat sheet could fit, figuratively speaking, a couple of volumes of the Great Soviet Encyclopedia.
Step 3
We begin to work with the collected information, for which we arm ourselves with Occam's razor and ruthlessly cut off all unnecessary, i.e. repetitions, nonsense, rumors, etc. Just don't get carried away, so as not to delete something really important. However, rumors and other unverified data can be given a separate place, but do not forget to point out that they are unverified. Distribute the rest of the information into sequences and thematic blocks. Remember that the text in the memo should be as accessible as possible, so express yourself more clearly so that at the crucial moment you do not understand the verbal intricacies.
Step 4
Have the courage and insolence to question the information on each memo from time to time, even if you wrote it yourself. And even more so - written by someone else. Any environment invariably changes under the pressure of attendant circumstances and internal processes, which requires a periodic revision of the position in relation to this environment.
