Take the experiment with you.

Take the experiment with you.

The hardest part of running the experiment may simply be remembering to run it.

So, put a reminder where the decision happens: near your computer, on the refrigerator, in your wallet, by the shopping list—wherever you tend to fall into the lava.

I've made a bunch of printable versions, including one with added emphasis. You can download whichever one is most likely to get your attention.

If you want smaller versions, you don't need a different file. Just change your printer layout settings to print multiple copies on a page.

Think of it as part of the experiment: you can print it on the back of—or right across the front of—a piece of junk mail already headed toward recycling (give that paper another job, first!).

Please don't tear open a perfectly serviceable old book just because you want an old dictionary page, and please don't use new paper for this, either (That Would Be Weird.)

If you realllly want to use an actual dictionary page, I offer them online at shopjunket.com, and I can send you some from a book that will see all of its parts reused in various ways as part of my own Reuse Experiments. One order will set you up with pages that have proven to work well with my printer (no guarantees, but better than sending ones that don't work for my printer, yeah?).

One practical note: don't put anything through your printer that could damage it. Avoid staples, loose adhesive labels, plastic windows, loose pieces, or anything else likely to detach, melt, or jam.

That's it.

Put the reminder where you'll see it. Then run the experiment.
