Write an instruction or SOP. To do so, first select a topic. You can write an instruction telling how to monitor, repair, test, package, plant, clean, operate, manage, open, shut, set up, maintain, troubleshoot, install, use software, and so on. Choose a topic from your field of expertise or one that interests you. Follow the writing process techniques to complete your instruction. Prewrite (using a flowchart), write a draft (abiding by the criteria for instructions or SOPs presented in this chapter), and rewrite to perfect your text.
