How to Write Clear Instructions
Read on for the basic steps in creating a clear, logical and achievable set of instructions.
Steps1
- Know exactly how to do the task. You must be very familiar with the steps of the process before you can write instructions. That means you know how to do this- you're not guessing or reading someone else's ideas. You have done this yourself!
- Know how to begin the process. This may include gathering needed materials or supplies, or laying out a work area. You must explain this first.
- Know what the end result looks like or does. You have seen the result (a baked cake, a radiator installed, a bicycle put together, the web page changing color, etc.) You must make sure the reader will end up with the same results.
-
Plan how to write the steps in order. Instructions are written in small increments (manageable tasks that are clear, easy to follow to completion). You must know what is done first, second, third.
-
3Write instructions beginning with a verb. (here: "Write") The reader must DO something each time. -
4Write each step as a small piece. That means, each step should be small, a baby step in the whole process. It should be easy to read at once, and then turn and DO it right away. It shouldn't contain multiple things to do at the same time.
-
5Include warnings as pre-steps. If it's critical that something be done (or NOT be done) before something else, write it as a step to do before the next step. For example, "check (or close) the drain plug," must be a step before "add oil to the tank."
-
6Write the steps logically in order. Don't depend on the reader going down the page and reading all the tips and warnings before beginning to do the process. Or the reader going to read all the fine points in small print before starting. Include each point in its own step that begins with a verb.
-
7Review and edit your instructions carefully. Make sure your writing is complete and correct. We've all seen poorly written instructions for assembling that Christmas toy that make us laugh, but don't get the toy assembled. Don't repeat that mistake. -
8Express steps in the positive. It's much preferable to say DO something rather than DON'T do something. For example, instead of saying "don't forget the salt," write "add salt when the eggs boil." -
9Avoid expressing opinions, preferences or choices. Instructions are not about what might happen, what someone could choose, what you personally prefer. Instructions are factual statements that give an action to perform. Options can be explained in another section of the document (here at WIKIHOW, in the "Tips" section).
- Minor choices can be stated with "or" statement. For example, you can write "add chili, Tabasco sauce, or pepper flakes." But "you might not want to make it too spicy" is not an instruction.
