Approaches to time-life navigation

When it comes to life embedded in time there are essentially just a few kinds of approaches.

It seems sensible to examine where each of these approaches positions us—where each leaves us 10 or 15 years down the road. Is this where we want to be?

• Stick with what's already being done

• Follow the non-thinking crowd

• Follow an expert's prescription

• Follow the thinking group (much smaller that the crowd)

• Attempt to move forward out of existing mental patterns

• Explore the situation and do what makes sense

• Do something that goes beyond all the previous approaches

Ways to test these approaches :

• Changing social and economic picture

• Stories in the news and the business difficulty evidence

• Tables of content

Notes:

Life embedded in time: If other people can get to you, then your life is embedded in time. You are a participant or spectator in the changing social and economic movie.

Various approaches can be applied to different life areas

… “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

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
