Many are used to coping with problems with a snap, and to solve any problems by inspiration. Others are firmly convinced that success can be achieved if a behavior plan is developed in advance. Such a list of actions can be called a memo, at any time capable of telling a person what his next step should be.
What is a memo?
If you look at the dictionaries, you can find the following definitions of the word.
Ozhegov’s dictionary says that the memo is a piece of paper or a book that briefly lists instructions and recommendations for a specific case. In addition, there is information about something on the subject matter, also indicated briefly.
But if you turn to Ushakov’s dictionary, you can find out that this is such a moralizing case that avoids a difficult situation in the future. The word was used only in spoken language and is now considered obsolete.
Another meaning: a memo is a thing that is stored in order to hold on to memories of a person or a situation or case longer.
Finally, this is a little book in which step by step describes how to act. There may also be notes on how a certain object functions, a description of the event, and on what plan it should take.

Student Code
The most relevant reminder for students is the basic recommendations for behavior, so as not to suffer, not injure themselves. It is believed that the most dangerous places where students regularly visit are roads. In addition, there is a high probability of electric shock to children.
In order for the child to be in order, he must learn the following rules of behavior:
- cross the street only into a green light;
- use crossings above the road, underground, walk on zebras;
- Do not ride on skateboards, skates in places not intended for this;
- when cycling, always walk across the road;
- first look to the left, and then, reaching the middle of the road, to the right. You can move if there are no cars nearby.
In order not to get injured by electricity, another memo is useful. These are the following recommendations:
- Do not touch wires hanging from poles;
- Do not touch wires with poor insulation, especially bare;
- with wet hands, do not touch electrical appliances while they are plugged in, as well as plugs, plugs;
- do not use electrical appliances in the bathroom;
- when turning on the plug, check that it is from the correct device;
- Do not use defective equipment.
Why are memos helpful?
Typically, a reminder is advice that has been tested by generations. They include the most common cases in which a person may be injured, injured, or endangered.
By following the recommendations of the reminders specified over many years, you can preserve health, including mental health. Remember, attacks are not uncommon, and only following safety rules gives you a chance to not be in this situation, dangerous for the psyche and physical condition.
How to make up for yourself?
When creating a memo specifically for your life, first pay attention to which particular aspects are most important to you. For example, when planning a trip, enter in the list everything related to regular trips or a one-time event. Write down what you need to do, what to take with you, write down all the dates, dates in order to navigate the situation as accurately as possible.
It is important for parents to compile memos for interacting with children, as well as separate lists specifically for their children. For example, when going on vacation with a child, it is necessary to provide for specific things that childless couples do not think about. In order not to lose sight of anything, make a list of points to keep in mind.
Special reminders for children will help to teach the child to be attentive and accurate in treating both their life and the environment. Say, separate lists can convey information about how not to get into trouble, but others will teach a small person to behave correctly, correctly, not to harm the environment and not bring inconvenience to people around. Raising a child is not an easy task, but the proper use of the instructions comes to the rescue.
To summarize
In conclusion, I would like to say that the memo is what comes to the rescue of people in a variety of cases. Finding himself in an extreme situation for the first time, a person can find a way out of it, using the sequence of actions devised for him. For example, in case of fire, terrorist attack this is absolutely indispensable. When it is very difficult to improvise, especially if panic overcomes, a clearly structured step-by-step list of actions can save the lives of many people.
