There are too many boxes, for sure. And lots of them don't apply, so they're taking space away from comments, or more than just the bottom line of what does apply.
I can't get my mind around the 0-5 thing. Like if I don't do something that I shouldn't do (so to speak), it's a 0 (which is good) but then if I do something that I'm trying to do, I guess that's a 0 too (which is good)- or is it 5? If both good and bad are 0-- I'm confused-- but if 0 and 5 are flip-flopping, that's confusing too.
Or maybe I didn't read carefully enough-- but I just am using my Fair-Poor system (I do have one or two Goods-- but it's mostly Fair and Poor).
I prefer the computer to my handwriting--too-- but then my handwriting starts speading and spilling all over the place-- I have this smallness/lots of information compulsion. It's *always* so complicated.
I agree totally with participant-observer idea. I can see just observing, or just participating-- but--unless at some point, you;ve achieved enlightenment, I think you'd need to be doing a lot of both, especially when you're trying to use them to change patterns.
Or maybe you can switch back and forth-- like multi-tasking. Not sure.
