- I held two notes, side by side, and asked, “Related or unrelated?”
- When my notes were related, I named them with a TOPIC.
- I stacked them together and printed that TOPIC name on the TOPIC line of both notes.
- When the notes were unrelated, I set them apart on my desk.
- Both notes might begin a new stack.
- My first few loon notes grouped into two TOPICS: Family and Homes.
- My Food note will be alone.
- It might stay alone, or it might be joined by notes that go with it.
- After all notes were grouped, my food note was still alone.
- I decided to keep it for my report.
