"An INB is a great tool, keep it organized!“
"You have to spend quality time on your INB.“
"Don't leave your INB until the last day, otherwise you may be up to the early morning hours finishing assignments.“
"Color-code things. It looks so much better that way”
"Keep it in order, because you never know when a notebook check might come up.“
