An occasional check of the apps and services you use every day against the eight patterns of capture. It ends in a field record. The protocol is for the moment of reaching. The inventory is for stepping back.

[Procedure]

  1. List up to twelve things you use every day. Apps, services, devices.
  2. For each one, answer eight questions, one per pattern. Answer from memory. Do not open the app to check. "Not sure" is a valid answer.
  3. Close the audit. The field record follows. It prints on A5.
  4. Choose one change from the record. Make it before midnight. One change, not one per app.

Each answer is saved as it is given. You can leave and return. Records stay in this browser. Nothing is sent anywhere. The day-to-day audit protocol keeps a separate record.
