Connecting the dots
I have been noticing that by keeping my eyes open for new observations that I am seeing things I didn't pay much attention to in the past. Things like bioms, general descriptions of the plants and animals I see and where and when I see them. I find I am starting to see when there are similarities between different species, which doesn't always mean they are related, can be a fast first step to making a good ID.
I have been told it is a good method for investigating nature on more than one occasion, but until I started doing so much more in such a small bit of time, I didn't see how things flowed together and were connected.
Just another thing I am happy about having gotten involved with inaturalist.
