Ron:
I have the same problem. My hands are usually cut to heck by all of the
sharp objects one has to work around as an electrician. I use spreadsheets
for any calculation such as this. I can visually review my calculations to
avoid input errors. I keep all my calculations for review at a later
time. Each project gets a new page. I have written macros to create a
table of contents for the work book so I can find each project
quickly. The built in search functions of Excel or any reputable
spreadsheet application will do the same thing.
I remember working with a highly respected broadcast engineer on a project
a number of years ago. He kept meticulous notes in a field notebook with
numbered pages. It made a big impression, partly due to his immense
reputation in that industry. I told myself that when I grow up I want to
cultivate that same kind of reputation and develop the organization skills
as well.
My heroes also include: Thomas Edison, for his prodigious output, Eli
Whitney for inventing the interchangeable part and lots of engineers I have
had the privilege of working with and who have set a good example for me in
work style.
