“Control is as much an effect as a cause, and the idea that control is something you exert is a real handicap to progress.”

How I Spent My Time

While I continued bibliographic research the a lighter degree, most of my time was focused on getting employee interviews underway. I have developed questions, activities, materials, and a list of potential interviewees. So, this coming week should see at least the scheduling of my initial interviews if not the interviews themselves.

What’s Working

The design principles continue to be a central, grounding, pivotal tool. When I began developing questions for the interviews, I was able to refer to my design principles—which are effectively hypotheses—and easily translate them into a series of questions.

I think my time was well spent translating my questions into activities that I will be able to conduct during the interviews.

Google Docs. I love Google Docs.

What’s Not Working

This week was generally pretty smooth. Nothing to report here.

Substantial Changes

Nothing substantial. I continue to massage the schedule, but I have not made any substantial changes.
