Minimize your movements
• While scribing is helpful to many particpants, it is a distraction for others. Try to be sensitive to this and keep your movements to a minimum. Don't walk around a lot behind the speaker, cap and uncap pens, or adjust your clothing.

Move with intent
• There may be lulls in the discussion which stretch into many minutes in length. If you realize that your scribing services are no longer needed for this discussion, or if you can see that people are sidetracked, don't float around uncertainly up there. Move with intent. You can go back over some of the work you've done and fill in missing ideas or words, embellish, clean up, finish drawings which got interrupted. Or you can leave the Radiant Room. If you choose to do this, walk away firmly as if you need to replace a pen or something.

Monitor the facilitators
• Sometimes it's easy to get so involved with your scribing that you actually lose touch with what the facilitator is doing or where that person is standing. Try to keep track of what's happening around you.
