Hey gents,
I just wanted to share a quick hack I came up with the other day I really found useful in writing field reports to get the most learning out of them with the least amount of effort as writing field reports can be very time consuming, especially if your writing them like their supposed to be in great detail for every interaction.
When your first getting into journaling and learning I think its best to write out every detail of every interaction but once you have a solid foundation you can get to the point where your spending much time writing and not getting a huge return on your investment.
Solution = 80/20 Rule applied to field reports
For those that don't know the 80/20 rule the idea is that 80% of your results come from 20% of your effort/activities so pinpoint that 20% and do that and you'll get more results in reduced time.
How I apply this to field reports is to think of the 1-2 interactions on any given outing meeting girls (nightgame or daygame) that you felt the most emotional response to losing (i.e. you were really enjoying a girl and her into you but for whatever reason you made a mistake and things didn't go your way).
Then simply detail the 3 minutes leading up to the point where you lost the girl and what you would do to prevent this if you could do it over again. Include any other major mistakes made that led to the point of no return as well if need be.
Typically in every interaction there is a point where you do (or don't do something) that leads to a clear moment of the girl losing attraction. Sometimes its a string of small mistakes or other times its a deep glaring mistake and her attraction goes out the window or is noticeably dampened.
THIS is the moment you detail in your report and resolve to fix moving forward.
Ya your going to miss learning opportunities but again if you have experience for a few years you already know your making those mistakes in the moment or right after you make them anyway and you just course correct. Here we're just detailing the glaring point that made the difference in you getting laid like a champ and going home empty handed. You might also want to note any reoccurring bad habits or fundamental ticks you notice pop up regularly and keep a list but no need to detail the minutia of this.
Anyway for those that are journal-ling regularly and have a good overall handle on things you might want to try this out and see if it doesn't help your game without spending so much time detailing everything. Also if you don't journal regularly but know you would benefit this is a good habit to get into maybe just on the nights when you got really close but didn't pull.
Cheers,
