Why Keeping Records Can Save Your Work and Your Future
Yesterday, I trained my colleagues on data management and stressed one simple truth: keep proper records. Record-keeping is not bureaucracy. It is reliable memory for the day someone asks a question you cannot answer from memory alone. At NSUK, I kept a copy of my test score on foolscap paper. When an incorrect result was released, that record helped me prove my case and secure the grade I earned. I later relied on the same habit at another crucial point in my academic journey. Save your work, document your process and write things down. Trouble does not send a memo before it arrives, but proper documentation can protect you when it does.
