On a sunny day, a rainy day, in the morning, afternoon, night, etc.... You will keep a field journal with notes in 5 categories:
1) Notes on your observation of a problem element, pattern, or sector.
2) How is it a problem -- how is it functioning or not functioning
3) What kinds of 'small and slow solutions' would you think about implementing?
--- 3a) What kinds of further research do you need to do?
4) What kinds of observations would tell you your solution is working?
5) How would the solution to your initial problem be integrated into the larger system on your site? What would the 'solution' support in terms the functioning of other elements?
