1. Have a place for everything
We all are over-flooded with e-mails, attachments, websites, news stories, pictures, social discussions and user profiles. I hate to forget the “stuff” that I thought was a great idea yesterday, but did not have the time to invest time in.
So, when I come across interesting content and information while scrolling over my Google searches, visit interesting blogs, browse my e-mails or work with office documents, I CORRELATE.
2. Avoid “the devil is buried in the details” blunders
To avoid to forget or lose important details working with complex matters scattered in e-information, I CORRELATE.
When I CORRELATE, I choose to use links to documents, web pages and internal files. I create local copy or embed the external content for off-line or regulatory compliance. I use descriptive labels, tags and additional description to clarify information items and the relationships between them.
The real magic appears next time I ( or my coworkers) need the knowledge. I get the immediate overview and have one click to the important details. This is how you can avoid the “buried Devils” syndrome.
You Can CORRELATE® Too!
