When to use it
Use it when you want a structured way to reflect on a specific event, especially a difficult one.
How to apply it
- Describe what happened factually.
- Note what you were thinking and feeling at the time.
- Evaluate what went well and what did not.
- Analyse why things happened as they did.
- Conclude what else you could have done.
- Write an action plan for a similar situation next time.
Tip: Keep description and analysis separate so feelings do not get mistaken for facts.
