This is something that I’m sure will make it into one of my articles, but I want to touch on it here. There is nothing that annoys me more than when I explain or give direction to someone, and then they come back 5 minutes later asking me the same questions because they forgot my answer. Take the extra 2 seconds and take notes when somebody explains something to you. Trust me, they will be much more willing to help you out in the future if they know you aren’t going to be bugging them all the time with the same questions.
