After having been the first person in the world to track their Macro-Attention 24/7 for over a year (as of Aug 15, 2019), I’m committing to tracking my Micro-Attention. I am studying my own attention to support others through the emerging Attention Economy, as part of my much larger effort to eradicate the problem of Regret from our lives.
Mike Pratt (a good friend) and I reflect on what I learned from tracking my attention 24/7 for 1 full year (Aug 2018-2019). We then brainstorm what should be next, and conclude the following evolutions: micro-attention (thought) tracking instead of macro-attention (context/action), regular documentation of my journey and how I'm feeling emotionally (the whole point, really), tracking my emotional state (thinking 4 daily scores for 4 core emotion dimensions: Joy/Sadness, Trust/Disgust, Anger/Fear...

WHY are you here? The ONE and only decision you must make. - Who you are; - Where you're going; - How you'll get there; and - What will you do... ... will ALL evolve with time. Once you decide why you are here, every decision you encounter will already be made, because your criteria will have already been set. Rise above temptation. Rise above the drama, the noise, the irrelevant to why you're here. Live intentionally or suffer the excruciating pain of regret. Why are YOU here? 👇 #sentient #pro...
A short story about an adult who complained instead of acted. Do you COMPLAIN or ACT by default?
A story about my 3yo son's whining phase, how we as adults can mature out of it, and how we as parents can support our children's development through it. 😭😫😤🤧➡️🙂 Did you whine?

Today I interview Sydney Centell, a California-based life coach who shares what coaching is (and is not), what problems it solves, and how it's her version of employing her natural skillsets. I really think you'll enjoy how thoughtfully she speaks, how empowering her "conversation with yourself" approach is, and her engaging Instagram presence where she regularly asks questions that will get you thinking!
My 2.5yo son exclaimed this morning, "My pants are not on backwards!", taking stock of the simple things in his life that were going well and how they foreshadowed a good day. What simple things ARE going well for you? What do they allow you to focus on?
The dangers of crying wolf, as a reflection of my 2.5 year-old twins' development. Let's break down exactly why crying wolf is a poor idea. #intentionalliving #sentient #process #network #theory #trust #life #love #parent #kids #toddler #twin #truth #trust #honesty #lies #danger #coach #consultant
Saved 7 YEARS in others' lives, Life Goal 1: "Fully Intentional Life" DONE! 🕙 As of Jan 1 / 2018, 81% of my life since birth had been scheduled. I'd lived it intentionally (per my values). 19% (55,203 hours) had not. Having had no plan for that time, it became my Intentional Living Deficit. 🕙 As of Jan 1, I stopped adding to the deficit, having begun to schedule and track 100% (24/7/365) of my Time (and now Attention!). 🕙 Life Goal 1? - Live a "Fully Intentional Life" by creating 55,203 hours...

Why giving to others is a long-term self-optimal behaviour, and how/why it earns you others' trust and the right to work with them.
A way of measuring the value we create in children's lives that integrates well with how we measure the value of our own.
I discuss three issues often present in the programs offered by MLM / Network Marketing firms as it relates to living intentionally (i.e. per what YOU value). Woukd this be a positive chapter in your life, or not? What are you optimizing and is this the best you can do?
Describing a few leaders in the mobile phone AR space: Assemblr, SuperWorld, and ROAR, as well as what that might mean when the concepts scale up, even if not by these players necessarily.
Document or Create? BOTH! The Sentient Process Network Theory intentional living framework is a huge source of original content and it allows me to comment relevantly on trending topics as well as create evergreen content. Documenting is useful to show examples, successes, and struggles in my own life related to living intentionally. I'm hoping these stories bring us closer together and that they inspire you to want your life to be intentional badly enough too!
My foundational body of work, the "Sentient Process Network Theory" Intentional Living framework, is done. You can download the full PDF for free on my website: SentientFuture.Earth. Its scope is immense, and that's why there is so much detail. Over the coming months, I'll explain each part and it will make increasingly more sense. The integrations and connections were too valuable for me to not give you the whole idea for free, upfront. I hope that it opens your eyes and mind to what it means f...

EP 68 - AI and How the Sentient Worldview Prepares Us for It. We need to get good at controlling our time and attention NOW. AI will get increasingly better at capturing it in the future because of the war for it that the attention economy will create. Please think about what you value! Write it down. Focus on it. For the sake of your future self and those you care about, focus on it!
EP 67 - Soul = Network of Selves at Different Times. A breakthrough in v2.0 of the Sentient Worldview. Initially struggled with soul's seeming indivisibility. Added dimension of Time to resolve the problem. See our Selves at Different times as different from our present Selves, worth knowing, and worth doing right by. Can be done specifically/practically while maintaining the major themes of the "soul" in philosophical literature. Reminder, "soul" used as a category name here for simplicity/fami...
EP 66 - V2.0 Struggles. Parallelism between the mind, body, and soul is proving difficult to finalize in a practical way. An account of where I'm at and optimism for what is to come. Almost there!
What if, by extending the idea of the Sentient Worldview and applying scientific methods/research from a variety of fields, empathy and giving could be PROVEN to be optimal long-term behaviours? Would that convince people to collaborate? Could it dramatically shift the direction of our global culture towards peace and understanding? Would love your thoughts!
Checking out Vaudle and Limor for social audio. No permanent shifts yet. Just tasting. Connect with me if you're there? Thoughts? Connect on IG? Doing Dee work right now.
Kurt Smock, from the "Life with Kurt" Anchor.fm station was very kind to take the time to interview me on the Sentient Worldview and how its neutrality has the power to unite us while preserving the personal identities we hold so dear.
Reconciling our need to feel unique/special with our need to belong.
Pride is to your goals as Fulfilment is to your process. Rather than maximize it like you do fulfilment though, pride is about balance. Balanced pride is self-confidence and self-reinforcing. It boosts your rate of progress through positive feedback without you slowing/stopping either due to basking in your own glory or due to wallowing in self doubt.
Regret is the pain we feel when we reflect on our past and wish we had done something differently. It can come from your decisions or your actions, but these are separate from the outcomes. Regret CAN be eliminated. Learn how!
How is gratitude practical? Our mood/optimism, our continued work ethic because we realize we aren't owed anything, and an improved bond with others by demonstrating we do not waste what we have been given or what we have earned.
