This is a preliminary report of an small interdisciplinary study of application of self-directed reflective thinking to reduction of mistakes and errors. \marginnote{I am deeply indebted to William Gore PhD, Emeritus Professor of Political Science, University of Washington, Meryl Tsukigi, MS of Community Concerns who participated in the weekly discussions, and Erik Samuel Eddy who field tested tools in the community and assisted in internet design and editing. Many others have contributed anonymous reports of using our tools or participated in independent study using the tools. Their suggestions have been invaluable.} Originally we worked exclusively with medical error. Health care error produces significant mortality, morbidity and disability. Extensive and expensive administrative, clinical, and research efforts have been applied to efforts to reduce prevalence and incidence. These efforts have been applied to hospitals, clinics and large medical groups. Overall reduction of error has been disappointing. Increasing technical complexity and frequent changes in medical practice and administration are result in failures to produce desired improvement.  What can an individual, small group, a patient or a care giver, do to reduce the chance of serious medical error often called an \emph{adverse event}? The focus of this report to facilitate all efforts to deal with medical mistakes and encourage exemplary practices. We concentrated on an individual and small group level. Personally and in our circles of friends and acquaintances many errors and near misses occurred. Emotional immediacy was a strong motivator for us to pursue causes and remedies. We wrote case reports. We reviewed and searched medical, organizational, anthropological, psychiatric and psychoanalytic, and philosophy of science literature\marginnote{This article is written in Tufte Handout style.

We developed three open source tools to support reflective thinking, personal resilience, advancement of knowledge. The tools increased personal and organizational awareness. We welcome comment and suggestions for further development. We seek more examples of personal and small team experience. Our goal is to improve simple, easily applied methods of reduction of clinical error for the practicing health care individual or team. Some people and teams were able to use our most complex tool (Complex Context Critical Incident Report)with Report) with  very little support or training. Others preferred a more gradual approach to learning. Close observation, improved recall and reflective thinking are built into our less complex tools. We expanded our efforts to Human Error in general. We need more variety in examples. Other areas such as aviation provide useful comparisons and differences. We found what we had discovered, while incomplete, had broader applications in daily living. Embedded resistances in individuals and systems are difficult to reveal and change, more data expands our points of view.  \end{abstract}
