Documenting before an activity is like stretching and warming up before a run

Note: I have updates below...



# 6/17/2020


I've been preparing more and more before I play the game. Today I thought of it like stretching and warming up before a run.


Today I made an improvement to how I document my speedrunning. So I thought to document my speedrunning documentation process. While doing that, I made some improvements to the process. 


Here's my speedrunning documentation process:


1. Document what I'm going to do. Below is an example of what I wrote before even turning on the game to play it.

Studying Metro route #24


Reread my notes for section 6.2 and my notes from last session.


Trial 3 analysis: 


Reread my notes and compare and contrast it against my trial 3.


Trial 4 analysis: 


Reread my notes and compare and contrast it against my trial 4.


Decide next steps:


2. Do what I planned to do, while documenting each section before doing the next section.


3. Post to Mario Odyssey Discussion


4. Get link from step 3 and save it to my learning plan log.

1. Document what I'm going to do. Below is an example:
