I found that duplicating diagrams that are already provided to me is a waste
of time. I guess it helps some to remember the topology but for me it was
unnecessary. I did make diagrams for tasks where they weren't already
provided or where things weren't very clear. Once you sit down and have
everything in front of you, then you can read through the entire lab and
diagram whatever you feel you need to. I would rather have extra time at
the end of the day to verify my configurations than to spend time drawing
redundant diagrams.
