20121108 Don’s Cards

Don’s Cards

1.         The purpose of this system is to help me remember subjects important to me.
2.         The limit is to be what can go on a 3x5 card with a font of 8.
3.         I am to list the 10 most important points if I were to, on the spot, have to chat about the subject.
4.         As I develop more rules I will place them here.
5.         I was inspired because I often  forget main points of my study such as what did Socrates believe, did he believe in God, etc and at least this will be a reminder
6.         I also was inspired when I found the hp2200 printer will print 3x5 index cards - and the 5x7 as well. Set it to horizontal, make small margins all around, and print directly to it, not through PrintFree.
7.         Decide where to keep. It will not matter if I lose then as I can print more, but I could keep downstairs and as I have an idea add to the card in handwriting and later type
