 Should we, should we sally forth and continue to find out what's going on? Yeah, do you have any idea? You might be asking yourself. What did I just find? Alright, so anyway. But, yeah. Yeah. Um, what do you look around? Wow. Yeah, it's pretty, isn't it? It's pretty. Shenandoah National Forest. Wow. Yeah. I think there were battles fought here. Probably. Maybe. Yeah, I don't know. It sounds about right. There's bugs here. There is a battle. Besides being in the Shenandoah National Park, what do you see? A forest. Would, okay. I understand you see a forest, but there's maybe some, I mean, can we change, just a small perspective change? Leaves. Leaves? Okay. What are the leaves on? The ground. The ground. It is fall or autumn, as some people might say. Do you see the leaves on anything else? Do I see them on anything else? Yes. It's rocks. Oh, good catch. Trees. Thank you. I think we've noticed something in the field that that issue, the trees versus the forest versus the trees, is that a small issue? I think we both think it's a pretty decent sized issue in our field. Getting lots of nuts and bolts. Yeah. Same kind of thing. So we got a couple of videos on it. These are going to be short little videos because we want to break them up into a few topics. So we are going to do, I think, maybe three, maybe four, who knows, videos on forests and the trees and OBM style. How did you end up in a rut, friend? I saw the forest for the trees. I mean, I saw the trees and said, which one is it? I think it depends on the problem. I know. So that's the end of the video. You nailed it, sir. Well done. Escape earned. Trees. Yes. Trees are your measurement. When you're at work, like the thing in 2021, 2022, whatever year it is, I don't care anymore. I've been thinking about it since I've been thinking about this stuff. Measure, measure, measure, measure, measure, measure, measure, measure, measure, measure everything. All the time. That was measure this. How tall are you? You can measure to death. Yes. Analyze everything, Brad. I want data. I'm going to pretend to be his boss. I need data in order to evaluate the company. So measure things. Measure the things that you think are relevant. Measure the things that I think are relevant. So you're serving kids in an ABA clinic. Start measuring. What are you measuring? I'm going to measure. How many kids do we have in the clinic? Good job. Thank you. How much they show up to work? Yeah. How long they've been working? What they do while they're... This is my favorite one. Would you record what you're doing while you're at work? Yes. Can you make sure to sign off on everything you did today? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Exactly. So make a note of what you did. Then your supervisor will confirm that you did it. Maybe. And then would you confirm that your supervisor actually did the work, please? Because I need them to double... And then make sure to turn it in. Yep. And then here, my brain's going, we could automate this. I'm just going to have a dashboard. Ooh, I get you a dashboard. I like making dashboards. I love dashboards. Yeah. Yeah. We're going to come back to that one on dashboards later. Because that's what you do with your data, right? Yeah. So we'll look at that in another video. Look at doing stuff with your data. Maybe that's the title or not. And it'll be really confusing because you can look for it. I'm not going to have it. It'll say dashboards instead. Yeah. We'll see. Anyway. So you end up measuring everything at the same time. Right. And that's a waste of behavior. You measure for measurement's sake. Right? The term for me is value added, right? What value does this measurement bring to the table? And if there's a reason to measure something, then measure it because that data is going to be useful to help you evaluate performance, your organization of the individual, so on and so forth. And then with that data, you can provide reinforcers or you can redirect people into other directions. Yeah. Too much data. Now you've got somebody literally, my favorite example is like do your job and start writing down what you did. And every 15 minutes, you've got to write down what you did for the last 15 minutes. Now I've been writing down what I did for the last 15 minutes. It only takes a couple of minutes an hour. Yeah. By the end of the day, you just spent a quarter of an hour writing down the shit that you did all day. Yeah. That's a waste of time, especially if you just wrote answered an email. And then do that for a month. Yeah. My favorite one is you take an email and then you have to summarize what was in the email in the client record or whatever. Yeah. Here's the email that I sent. This makes me crazy. Yeah. Let's do it again. Yeah. Let's write it twice. Do things twice. Yeah, don't like that. So don't analyze things to death. Don't collect too much data. Now you're like you're probably going, give me a rule on what too much data is. Can't. Sorry. Watch all of the videos that we have to understand what it means to have too much data. So there's things you want to record. There's things you don't, right? Make sure that what you're recording has to do with the outcome that you're looking for. Don't just measure what, how many times Bob picked his nose unless there's a reason to measure Bob's nose picking, like as it affects the performance. Adding so much measure you can't do. The person doesn't have time to do what they initially were intended to do. Yeah. That's that value added piece. I totally agree. Yeah. You have technicians measuring things to the point where they're not working with the client anymore. I got to press the button. I got to press the button. I got to press the button. I got to press the button. I got to press the button. So be careful with your catalyst programs. Yeah. Button, button, button, button, button, button, button, button, button, button. Oh, I forgot to reinforce them. Yeah. It's really cool time sampling. Momentary time sampling. Yeah. All right. We'll come back with a little more on force and trees for another video. Have you found that you're out of reinforcement for your studying behavior? You need to get yourself a psychor... a psychor extension burst. He'll get you through those dark times.
