Labelling Techniques 2.2.2: A Nutshell

When to label in a nutshell, or when to label at all.

Labeling for Clarity, Not for Drama

Labeling is not about being a know-it-all, but about providing clarity and context. Think of it as adding signposts to a trail, or labels to a package. It's a way of saying 'Hey, this thing is a thing.'

So, when do you label?

Labeling for Clarity: 3 Scenarios

• Scenario 1: The Obvious
• Scenario 2: The Unobvious
• Scenario 3: The 'I'm-Not-Labeling-This' Scenario

And, for the love of all that's sane, label with brevity, not drama.

A Label is Not a Label is Not a Label

Don't overdo it. Labeling is a tool, not a game of 'I-will-label-you-to-death.'

label = clarity + brevity
no_label = drama + despair

Choose wisely.
