You can do the process alone or better in a team (2 to 6 People), after you introduced the process to them. If the team is not yet familiar with the method, one note at the time. | You can do the process alone or better in a team (2 to 6 People), after you introduced the process to them.

Resist of putting all notes with the same things mentioned together like "All about mail" or "The Kitchen". Rather try to find the pattern behind the mere content. For example, Notes like "I needed to hurry, the meeting was in 5 minutes" and "the machine takes always way to long to brew the coffee" could possible go under the principle "time pressure" though they don't mention the same things. | ||
The grouping process will require restructuring as well. Don't stick to the groups you created– if you or somebody else needs to rearrange them or take notes out of them and put them somewhere else that's fine. | |||
After you created groups of 2–5 Notes find suitable descriptions for the group and write them sticky notes in a color different from the one you already use. With these groups you will go through the same process of group creation again, now rearranging whole note-groups. This is not as cumbersome as it sounds especially since similar groups often tend to be close to each other anyway. | |||
For these top-groups again write descriptive notes. | For these top-groups again write descriptive notes. | ||
