I have been using the same handbook I created 5 years ago but I add to it every year. Now it is 9 pages long with 33 topics. Something is off so I wanted to ask for opinions.
Is 9 pages too much?
Are there too many topics?
Most importantly are the topics in the best order?
I have switched some around but it doesn't have that nice flow that it originally did 5 years ago. What order do u think would be best? Thanks in advance for any help! Here is the basic layout - the details.
