What I hate about writing cheat sheets

1) The fear of putting not enough information down on the a4 double-sided piece of paper. the word 'fear' is specifically used here. (ok, the fear of losing out, i.e. kiasuism)

Situation 1:

Me: Oh my, i actually forgot to put that equation hidden in the corner of the page under that picture at font size 6 down! Damn! The same equation which prof *** didn't say is important!

random person 1: Haha. Too bad. I've written in font size 1 so i can put everything down. Now look I have my ultra high magnification magnifying glass with me so i can see everything!

2) the feeling that you had put too much information down. Like the random person 1 above, it means that your cheat sheet is barely readable and most likely will be of no use when panic strucks and renders you blind.

3) when everything is completed, and at the last minute, then you realise something should be inside.

Situation 2:
random person 2: let's compare cheat sheets!
random person 2: you mean u didn't put derivation of the equation #10902901 in?? it is absolutely important and will come out!!
Me: Noooooooooooooo! *hurries to squeeze a small spot out to insert said derivation

4) because of (3), a small empty space is left out just for emergencies. However, it is never used and your cheat sheet now looks ugly

5) A perfectionist will aim to seek a balance between aesthetics and information loading. The constant dilemma on whether to squeeze into that particular small space for another equation or to let it be and use another line.

6) Time spent writing: 10%. Time spent reading up: 50%. Time spent writing this entry, msn, fb-ing, lying on bed wondering why the sky is not red: 40%

7) After the test, you realised you hadn't refer to the cheat sheet even once.
