Document Summary
Example: if you were to ask people to give one observation of the room, the answers would come very abstract, such as it"s comfortable, or it"s messy. But what do those phrases really mean: to become a better observer in these situations is to slow down, to stop jumping to conclusions. Answer this question; what three details are most important. be careful not to answer this question first: the next step is to explain the why those three details are the most interesting. Making observations systematic and habitual: five-step analysis, step 1: point out any repetitions identical or nearly identical words or details. Keep a track of the number or repeats: step 2: point any repetition of words that have similar meaning. A grouping of same or similar kinds of words or detains.
