Choosing the right size and quality of scratch paper is a prerequisite for efficient use. Using paper that is too large or too small will result in waste, while poor-quality paper is prone to tearing and affects efficiency. Therefore, when choosing scratch paper, you should select paper with good quality and suitable size.
Secondly, develop a clear plan. Before starting to use scratch paper, you should have a clear plan. Determine the purpose and task of using scratch paper to more effectively utilize every inch of the paper. At the same time, according to the importance of the task, you can prioritize using good paper or reusable scratch paper. Thirdly, make rational use of every inch of space. When writing or drawing on scratch paper, you should make rational use of every inch of space. Avoid writing unrelated content or making random scribbles. Instead, try to arrange the content compactly on the paper to maximize the use of each page. Additionally, using both horizontal and vertical layouts can make your draft look more tidy and help you quickly find the information you need. Fourthly, use both sides of the scratch paper. Scratch paper is usually used once, but if we adopt the method of using both sides, we can greatly reduce waste. After completing writing or drawing on one side, turn the paper over and continue using it on the other side. This can effectively extend the service life of scratch paper and reduce waste. Finally, properly store and recycle. Do not randomly discard used scratch paper. It should be properly stored or recycled for reuse. You can sort and organize the no longer needed scratch paper for subsequent work such as making notes or sketches. At the same time, recyclable scratch paper can be handed over to recycling stations for reuse. In conclusion, through selecting appropriate paper, developing a clear plan, making rational use of space, using both sides of the paper, and properly storing and recycling, we can more efficiently utilize scratch paper resources, reduce waste, and contribute to environmental protection.
