Field notes
The described workflow pairs a daily phone conversation with a family-facing record of call dates and durations. On Sundays, the family receives a short note and a suggested topic; the sample prompt points to a specific story about working at a Dairy Queen in 1961. The homepage lists four universities as sources of published research, though the extract does not include the underlying studies.
