Notes from Years Past

I was cleaning out some files a while ago and came across notes from a leadership class I took several years back.  The notes read:

* do the following once a day to reflect on the current status of a project *

1. DO - What have you done/observed so far?
2. STUDY/REFLECT - What did you learn from that event/observation?
3. CONNECT/SYNTHESIZE - How does this connect with what you already know?
4. PLAN - What will you do differently now?

Common sense really.  And probably the natural way most of us approach continuous learning.  Yet I find myself often following these steps:

1. DO
2. DO
3. DO
4. DO

Huh.
