Quick question about keeping an error log that is actually useful

Maybe I’m overthinking this, idk. With keeping an error log that is actually useful, I keep catching myself changing the approach to keeping an error log that is actually useful before testing it long enough to learn anything. I’m gonna try to pick one measurable adjustment for keeping an error log that is actually useful and keep it for three focused sessions. Is that a decent way to practice it or am I missing something obvious?

I’d start with a sustainable plan for keeping an error log that is actually useful, based on recent performance and available energy. That usually makes the extra details easier to sort.

Your plan sounds reasonable. Try it on a small set first: pick one measurable adjustment for keeping an error log that is actually useful and keep it for three focused sessions. Then adjust from what you actually miss.

Same area tripped me up. The big thing was noticing when I was changing the approach to keeping an error log that is actually useful before testing it long enough to learn anything. Once I named that habit, it was easier to stop.

One thing that helped: say the “why” out loud before you click. It should connect back to a sustainable plan for keeping an error log that is actually useful, based on recent performance and available energy.

Keep one example that felt clear and one that didn’t. Those two examples will give an RN reviewer something specific to work with.
