Does Anybody want a Cheat Sheet?
Wow, I worked on the book for about two straight hours this morning! I keep thinking of (or being told about) things to add…I think I’m finally about done adding things, though. *whew*
I do have one left that I’m not sure about, so maybe you all can help: What does anybody think about some kind of Quick Reference, or cheat-sheet-type thing, with bullet points concerning how to nap and things to remember? Maybe as the last page, so it could be torn out and kept handy?
I don’t want to get silly with the "instructional" aspect of the book, but if that’s something that people think they’d use, I would certainly write one. If you think so, also let me know if there’s anything you’d definitely want to see on such a page. I have some ideas; I just can’t tell if this is something people would find useful or not.

For your book, I don’t really see what can be so helpful, but then again maybe there is something that I am missing. Naps seem to be like a routine that one gets into, I don’t see how the cheat sheet helps. The only thing I see that can help is finding that routine.
As for things to remember, maybe that. I can something like, don’t forget an alarm, and a backup. So I see something like the reminders being helpful. I still haven’t gotten over my mornings yet, and it took me some time to figure out that light helps a lot to get up and stay awake.
As well, these pages could work as a really efficient and organized conclusion and that in itself would be helpful.
Those are my thoughts, well, don’t know if they help though.
All thoughts help; thank you! I’m still trying to work out what form of “cheat sheet” would work best for people, though quite a few people seem to think *something* is in order.
Thanks!
I think it would be great. I always like having a summary / cheat sheet reference at the end of a book or article.
A cheat sheet would be nice just to look over, to take a glance at every once in awhile/when you’re having trouble napping/etc to make sure everything’s in order.
Yeah, that’d be pretty helpful. Just some key points and summarizations so we don’t end up forgetting some bits.
Can’t wait for this to come out! Any ideas of a date?
Well, now that I have to do cheat sheets…! Just kidding — I lost almost two weeks there due to the end of a difficult semester, but now I have a few weeks off before the next one…I’m HOPING I can finish it then, but there’s also the illustrator to consider…
Probably a good, safe estimate is “This summer, definitely”. I’d like to have it done by the end of May, but I’d feel weird about promising that, just due to the nature of books and the obsessive people who write them. ;)
Thanks!
