• Take the time to do the work.  If it is information that will affect an important decision in your life spend the time to make sure the information is correct.
• If you know what the information is about before it is given prepare yourself with a list of what information you are looking for.
• If possible write down the answer to your questions.  It is easier to review the information if you can see it in front of you in black and white.  The words are what they are without any window dressing to make them seem what they are not.
• Review the results of your Pract the Facts excercise away from the source.  For example if it is on televsion don't make your decision while you are looking at the person giving the information.  Turn off the television, look at your information and then Pract the Fact.
• Support your position about the information with a verifiable source or fact.  List the source. 
• This is not about personal opinions it is about actual facts.
• Communicate and defend your position in writing using these facts.
