My note-taking process is extremely messy and I think I need to work harder to clean it up after the fact. I am pretty good at getting down what's done in the session, but possibly not what's SAID. I'm focusing far too much on body language and not enough on actual spoken conversation.
My main problem is coding my notes after the fact. After I observe sessions I have a jumbled mess of notes and no way to evaluate them. I don't think I'll be able to make sense of notes until I have a topic, and apparently I need my notes to discover a topic. It's a big frustrating loop.
