Concepts to daily action

Feb 2016 → It has been a long time since worked on this page

Radar system ::: Calendarization ::: Conceptual resource digestion ::: Concepts to daily action

Our performance in life and time is limited by the composition of our mental radar. It may also be limited by the processing—our mental patterns—of that content.

“To know and not do, is to not yet know” — unknown

Concepts to daily action is a form of calendarization that can employ thinking broad and thinking detailed. Thinking canvases may be useful.

Topic thinking guide

I suggest you focus on one topic at a time

And then first ask: What do these issues, these challenges MEAN for our organization and for me as a knowledge worker, a professional, an executive?

Once you have thought this through, ask:

What ACTION should our organization and I, the individual knowledge worker and/or executive, take to make the challenges of this topic into OPPORTUNITIES for our organization and me?

AND THEN GO TO WORK!

The topic referred to above can be elevated by using the ideas in thinking broad and thinking detailed to get to the highest strategic level, mind mapping some alternatives, and then possibly re-perceiving the topic

Reading

Dense reading and Dense Listening

What did you learn? How can you put that knowledge to work?

Most books are too detailed. Publisher's have a desired word count to make worthy of publication. Figure out what's the core stuff that you can use (that can be effective). To begin this imagine yourself in an unfolding world and how you touch (will touch) that world. If what you do doesn't touch other people then what's the benefit. And what's the long term. Also you never know who you're going to work for in the future.

This page presents an overview of a system for getting from concept to daily action. It is a blueprint that can be adapted to your needs and ambitions. This system is part of a work approach that is adequate to the challenges ahead.

“The greatest danger in times of turbulence is not turbulence; it is to act with yesterday’s logic”. — Peter Drucker

The shift from manual workers who do as they are being told — either by the task or by the boss — to knowledge workers who have to manage themselves ↓ profoundly challenges social structure …

“Managing Oneself is a REVOLUTION in human affairs.” … “It also requires an almost 180-degree change in the knowledge workers’ thoughts and actions from what most of us—even of the younger generation—still take for granted as the way to think and the way to act.” …

… “Managing Oneself is based on the very opposite realities: Workers are likely to outlive organizations (and therefore, employers can’t be depended on for designing your life), and the knowledge worker has mobility.” ← in a context

These pages are attention directing tools for navigating a world moving toward unimagined futures.

It’s up to you to figure out what to harvest and calendarize
— working something out in time (1915, 1940, 1970 … 2040 … the outer limit of your concern) — nobody is going to do it for you.

It may be a step forward to actively reject something (rather than just passively ignoring) and then figure out a coping plan for what you’ve rejected.

Your future is between your ears and our future is between our collective ears — it can’t be otherwise. A site exploration starting point
