"Life it too short to read the manual"

[Eddie W. Shore]

I am guilty of not reading the manual when I first get the product. However, I am grateful to have manuals. I usually use the manuals to answer any specific questions I have.

When I do use the manual beyond looking something up, I make cheat sheets or cheat cards, and I put them with the calculator so I always have a quick reference. I find this helpful especially with graphing and programming calculators.

I sometimes use baseball card holders to protect the index cards I used to make a quick reference. For example, I currently have six reference cards with my HP Prime.

I am eternally grateful for the Prime's on board help reference.
