Edition records-day-5-v1. Original worksheet; personal answers are not part of this public edition.

## Today's task

1. Use the directions on your records map to find one item, without relying on memory.

2. Notice any vague wording. If someone is helping, choose only a record you are comfortable letting them see.

3. Update the directions so a future you can follow them. Write down access questions instead of sharing passwords here.

## Your working note

### The directions I tried

Record name and the starting instruction.

Your note: ____________________________

### A clearer version of those directions

For example: green folder, second drawer, tab marked Home.

Your note: ____________________________

### Any access question still to resolve

Do not enter a password, code, or security answer.

Your note: ____________________________

## Take this with you

Trying one set of directions shows what to clarify next.
