Reminders to myself

There are some things that I do occasionally but never often enough that I remember the procedures for them, e.g. if I use my printer’s scanner to scan to a U.S.B. stick what format does the U.S.B. stick need to be formatted to. I have started just writing this on the printer itself with a pencil.

When I did this I was at first hesitant to “deface” my printer, but that’s silly. It’s my printer and I do not have it to look pretty. I think I should do this more often. I already have a giant stack of plastic drawers all labelled with their contents and I think I should label things more often with these kinds of reminders to save myself frustration. With my brain it’s the only way I can remember where anything is or procedures for using things.
