Working Up

by Dwayne Phillips

When you write something (anything), also write your name and the date.

This is pretty simple, but usually neglected. Always write your name and the date next to anything you write. If you are writing in a notebook with your name on the cover, it may be sufficient to write just the date. If what you write is significant, you should write your name on the page next to the significant item.

If you are working or playing on your own, writing your name and the date shows that you own the words. That could be vitally important one day.

If you are working under the pay of someone else, you are claiming the idea. That doesn’t mean you own it, but it makes life and work much easier for everyone else who are also under the pay of someone else. They now know who to seek when a question arises.
