In the following link from Manhattan strategy section regarding time management.

The author refers to
1.Critical reasoning diagrams
2.Data Sufficiency grid
Can anyone share more light on this, especially the CR diagram.
2) REFLECT ON THE RESULTS
At this point, a common response from students is, “Okay, I’ve been keeping a time log and I’ve discovered that I am consistently behind on Data Sufficiency problems. I know that I’m working too slowly, but how do I fix that?” This is obviously a great question; awareness is one thing, but increasing speed is another. Speed comes when the problem solving process runs like a finely tuned machine. Have you practiced critical reasoning diagrams enough to make them second nature? Can you sketch a reading comprehension passage in your sleep? Do you immediately consider options for rephrasing, and do you automatically draw a grid, for data sufficiency problems? Do you search for splits and re-splits on sentence correction questions? Speed is all about process. If you find you’re losing too much time on any particular question type, reflect on, and rehearse, the process. Be sure to keep a time log as a measure of progress.
