I am very encouraged to note AI will not replace creativity. I will not be replaced as I continue becoming better thinker in writing and other things.
AI is coming and in big force.
I don’t think there’s any other evolution that will be so rapid like AI and Information age.
The society have actually started demanding – any note you put out there, need you confirm if it’s AI or original or real.
Definitely we have two societies – creators and consumers.
That’s how the landscape is shaping up underneath your feet and you can’t change that.
So, you are on the other side: either consumer ( like what AI will feed to your attention) or creator of what you have tasked your mind to define
That’s not a threat.
It’s what all of us can see is already happening and subjected to.
But one thing very encouraging is how all these are pushing towards labour division – Different roles to different people for efficiency.
Division of labour is another stem for onother day
The flow of all these AI, information, enablers of production (robotics) works towards one common goal
That common goal is – capturing human attention
This brings out clearly the real issue
Your human attention. Your control point.
All your attention is under your control. You can define attention in form of two fronts
1. Thought process and
2. Activities
The two will finally drive to one core and beautiful thing – meaning of life
Let’s look at them
I am not sure if you are the type who is already bought to scrolling short attention script of the social.
If so, this may not make lots of sense because you might already be bought away and therefore you read with a throw away attention. This will require some deep mental connection !
Thought Process
Thought process is series of mental activities your mind uses to think, reason , solve problems (capture that strongly), make decisions, form ideas and understand the world.
Understanding the world is about planning, judging, evaluating information unique from each person.
Understanding your thought processing design is such an underrated capability
Good thing, all these are not in born.
Quality thought processing is learnable art.
Thought processing is a great attention taker
Activities
Defining the flow of activities that you plan to undertake is one of most liberative practice
Because of lack of defined activities, huge number of people get lost inside activities that were never meant to be for them
Their precious attention gets stolen away
You don’t need to understand what will happen in two weeks
You just need to have ability to create daily or weekly activities and the flow will build up as you practice
When you form the routine of well thought activities, your mind and body build craving and keeps helping you refine more and more.
Activities flow is onother great attention taker
When you put all these together (activity building and thought processing design), you get where your attention goes.
You get a story that you can relate
Because your brain is a whole independent engine
Then preferences keep developing without your full control and finally you form a habit that feels like an obsession
Then you realise you have already gotten cravings to take control of mind and activities.
Otherwise, you crave for stories, drama, original things, movies, eating and you keep paying money for them
Entire economy gets build around these things (attention seekers)
Then, your natural system keep pulling you off and keep demanding for real meaning again and again
Your Brain, Most Forgotten Business Capital
It’s all about thought processing
Clearly, as I continue writing, my mind flows towards clarity
That alone, is definitive.
Appreciating mind as an asset is about understanding deeper role of mind. Taking your own path.
There are three levels that define how you get value from your mind
1. Struggles – This is the start of progress. What you select to struggle for will become your purpose. The mind is where the struggling abilities are developed and therefore what defines your purpose and what you may be able to achieve.
2. Curiosity – Problems you chose to solve. Creating a choice and attention for solving problems
3. Status – Your activity contribution towards solving the problem. The results associated with you doing. This gives you status and continues to add or lump courage and thirst for more.
Without developing understanding of the above three, you struggle to identify the flow of your mind
You feel like you are in desert and anything is good for you
You are always in a wonder world. Your feedback loop is full of frustrations because you don’t feel like you are in control of anything.
Let’s imagine how to create flow of thought process
When you task your mind and get ready for struggles, established aligned curiosity, and eager to solve, you open door for making quality thought processing as a tool for progress
In this letter, my main aim is to sink your imaginations to fact that there’s a tool called designed thought processing and how you arrive at it.
How you move ahead to align and refine thought process is secondary because even without getting that anywhere else, you mind alone is able to create it’s own path from the addiction
I also find lots of addiction writing my newsletter.
And so you ask , where does it start
Level one:
Your attention
Understand anything you see as if very interesting or not was meant to get your attention
Your attention has two distinct elements. One as a consumer and second as a creator
Starting to understand yourself on basis of either elements is great opener
Are you creator? Are you consumer?
Level Two:
Your curiosity
World is never linear.
When you don’t have curiosity you only imagine that everything looking good did not take huge effort to make it that way.
You adopt emotion of ignorance and only love what’s done and don’t want to imagine yourself as a contributor of making world better as well.
Are you curious about things that don’t look straight ?
Level Three:
Your activities
Suppose you confirm that over 50% of your activities were never planned
This causes huge mental energy loss. Therefore, even the results will mostly be frustrating.
On other hand, without activities to drive experimentations, you never improve. You stagnate, get frustrated with much information in your head but don’t know how to use it.
Are you a planner ? Do you give your mind to pre plan, develop alignment and predict value from each activity you commit to ?
Some main advantage of thought processing
1. Crises changes into bridges for your next best- when you build curiosity to think through what looks nonlinear you start realizing hidden opportunities.
2. You become creator – You join those promised future of opportunities. Creators are not replaceable.
3. Your business growth journey takes a different strong trajectory – You crave for different learning opportunities. Your attention is not for consumers.
I promise you.
Over 70% of people you look upto are figuring out as they go. They have mastered non linear world. You don’t need any PHD master class. Just practice it with real project and seek help out here.
I’ve scaled my micro business coaching – Only 5 are taken in every month. That may be the help you are seeking out here.
Let’s not make it longer. I’ll leave it there.
