I noticed this during my first IDS, but it's really irritating me now.
I write my IDS notes by hand in a journal. I like it this way, it helps me focus.
BUT...my IDS decks have study groups on AT that are incomplete. So I post my notes to help complete them...which means transcribing my notes and typing them into a Word document, which I then copy/paste into thread updates in the study groups.
Which means I'm writing them twice.
Yes, I could just skip the middleman and type my IDS notes, but I like having the journals...they're my personal LWBs.
*sigh* So irritating.

I understand, totally! I've got the same problem, and last night I was really naughty and posted my thoughts on the Fours straight in, without writing them. Because . . . *drumroll* . . . I'm worse than you. I've journalled with mine, then as I typed them, I changed words and added stuff in, and I fully intend to write them all out neatly on A4 paper and put them into my ring binder. So I'm
triple-handling mine!
Skimo ~ sorry to hear your LARP was cancelled
That's a bit sad. But I'm glad you've bonded so nicely with the Archeon (must take a look at that sucker).

Oh, my god, here I am putting my index finger horizontally up to my lips & wiggling it while saying "aaaaaa"
Seriously, do I feel like an idiot or what. (Thanks for the link though.)
And also Cat, thanks for the link to the form. It kind of reminds me of
21 Ways. I think, given enough time
that I might opt for both form & open meditation
I didn't mean to make you feel like a dummy!!!! I wanted to help . . . *hides behind hands* Sorry!
You're right about that form - it does go over a lot of the same ground as 21 Ways (to me, at least, who made it to Step 8 in the book
). It's a bit too rigid for me, but no doubt I could benefit from some rigidity! I need some dscipline . . .
Today is the day. I got the Fours done last night, and want to do the Tarot Tree Level Four today and move onto either Level Five or the Threes. I feel like I'm in the home straight, which is kind of good, but also kind of bad because I'm getting more and more impatient
. I'm dwelling on the Thoth and Liber T, which I'm not allowing myself to even get out of their bags because last time pored over them (when I got them in trade) I felt like they were fishooks in my brain, and not the little ones for hobby fishermen, either - more like the huge lengths of them that commercial fishing boats hang out behind them, with hundreds of hooks . . . Okay, too graphic
I know. So I'm focussing on the Wheel of Change, to *finish* it. Then I might have a week's break or so, and then move on.
I really need to stop thinking ahead.
