Joe Ely offers us an elegant solution to the problem of having just the information needed when and where it's needed. Owner manuals are generally not needed for operating equipment. However, when there's a task that is performed only every once-in-awhile that manual is indispensable. But where did I put that manual? If you're like me then that bit of information needs to be more readily available than in the misplaced manual. Have a look at Joe' Two Cycle Solution.

This is a great example of how critical it is to have the right information at the right place at the right time. Wouldn’t it be great if all products had the critical information in the right place — for example if the gas tank on the lawn mower had the ratio printed on the label?
I have an “snugli” carrier that has a label on the inside with pictures of how to put in the infant. I don’t really need the pictures since they have also used color coding and other mistake-proofing (such as slightly different clips on each side). However, iIt is right there in case I forget, and when I pass the carrier on to the next parents, they won’t need a manual to go with it.
