Now that you've named all of your boxes, the next part of the process is to reduce the number of boxes you have down to six. You'll do this by combining any of the boxes that you think are similar in nature. Again, this is totally up to you, and there are no right or wrong answers. So just look down your boxes and names now and see if you can find similar boxes by looking at the type of statements you've put in each box. And when you find two boxes that seems similar, just draw an arrow from one box to the other. And when you have six boxes left, we'll move on to the next part of the process.
In other words, if you have nine boxes, you want to decrease the number to six So you need to join up three boxes to three of your other boxes by drawing arrows from one box to another, shown here in this example. And once you've decreased your boxes to six, then I want you to write down a name or title for each new box you have joined. Taking into account all of the statements in each of the boxes that you've joined together. Write these new names for each box. On a clean piece of paper. Write the words or names you have identified with a Bark Box from one to six down the page.
Now, you have a new list of names, which would look like this. So just please reduce the number of boxes you have to six and name or rename these six boxes now and write them as a list on a new piece of paper.
