Sometimes we feel overwhelmed by all the information
![Page 3: Theme 1: Expansion of the home office Learn to handle information better Topic 5 Chapter 6.1. Page 305 – 312 Working with information.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081514/56649de45503460f94adbbc2/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

Ask questions
1. What must I do (Why do I need information?)
2. What information do I need to complete the task?

Step 6Evaluate the process and the
product• Look at step 1 again – does the final
product satisfy the description of what you have to do?

add to such a checklist?
