- Some notes will confuse you.
- Put them in a stack by themselves.
- You can decide about them later.
- Continue stacking your notes.
- When 2 notes are related, print their TOPIC on one card, and print the TOPIC's initial on the other card.
- When you add a new note card to a TOPIC stack, print that TOPIC’s initial on that new note card.
- After you have read and stacked all notes, pick up the notes that confused you.
- Hold the first confusing note next to each TOPIC and ask, “Related or unrelated?”
- Maybe this confusing note will now fit a into a TOPIC stack.
- If a note cannot fit your TOPICS, you may use it to begin a new stack.
- Or... you might simply choose not to use this note at all.
