Tips on Notes :

• Current date and day on the right side of a scrap pad,

Note book or diary.
• The book size will depend on your requirements to
either push it in your pocket or place it on your shelf.
• Write the heading / subject with day, date and month
and underline it. This will be mentioned below the
date.
• Content in bullet points that says the work to be
completed ( undone)
• Omit articles ( definite/ indefinite) while writing notes.
• Lastly, it acts as a reminder for the task to be done later
