You can study one aspect of your writing process, in a limited way, without needing to do the kind of full-on studies that Alcir Santos Neto and Sondra Perl do. Select one element of Neto’s process coding (for example, Planning or Questioning or Citations), and, following his method for noting how much time is spent on a given activity, see what proportion of your writing time is spent on it. Write an analysis, explanation, and reflection on the results. Does the result surprise you, or not? Why?
