- You are now ready to sort your notes into groups.
- To do this: Hold your whole stack of notes in one hand.
- With your free hand, set your first note on your desk.
- Hold your 2nd note next to your 1st note.
- Read each one, and ask, “Related or unrelated?”
- If the two notes are unrelated, set the notes next to each other on your desk.
- Hold the 3rd note next to the 1st note.
- Ask, “Related or unrelated?”
- Then hold it next to the 2nd note.
- Again ask, “Related or unrelated?”
- If notes are related, print their related TOPIC on the TOPIC line of one card, and print that TOPIC's initial on the TOPIC line of the other card.
