What to record in 15 seconds after each session
Useful training history does not require a detailed journal. Immediately after a session, a small amount of consistent information can guide the next repetition and preserve the context you are likely to forget later.
Start with the outcome
Choose the rating that best describes the whole session: Again when the task failed or felt unsafe, Hard when it was inconsistent or needed help, Good when it passed with expected effort, and Easy when it was fluent.
The rating should describe what happened, not reward effort or protect a streak.
Confirm the real conditions
Record the place and distraction level that were actually present. If the session differed from the plan, that difference is valuable. It shows how the behavior performed in real life.
Add a note only when it changes the story
A short note is useful when something unusual affected the result: a sudden noise, a different reward, repeated help, or an early stop. Otherwise, the outcome and conditions are enough.
- Rate the session.
- Confirm place and distraction.
- Add one optional note.
- Save and check the next suggested review.
