Technological progress means making things do more of what we want. When the thing we want is something we want to want, we consider technological progress good.

What is progress?

The rate of progress is accelerating, which means that an increasing number of things we like, will be transformed into things we like too much.The closest thing to "things we like too much" is the colloquial sense of "addictive".

Acceleration of progress

The world is more addictive than it was 40 years ago. And unless the forms of technological progress that produced these things are subject to different laws than technological progress in general, the world will get more addictive in the next 40 years than it did in the last 40.

Addictiveness is increasing

One sense of "normal" is statistically normal: what everyone else does.The other is the sense we mean when we talk about the normal operating range of a piece of machinery: what works best.

What does it mean to be "normal"?

The more things we like will mean more things we have to be careful about. Most people will not be careful about addictiveness, unfortunately. This will result in a new normality, which will define people by what they say no to.An important thing to note is that we'll have to worry not just about new things, but also about existing things becoming more addictive.

How to prevent addictiveness?

We'll increasingly be defined by what we say no to.

I have always been careful about addictions in my life and I think this article is a great read for anyone trying to understand why the world is becoming more addictive and how to protect yourself.

The Acceleration of Addictiveness

In this book, Devora Zack shared that everyone falls somewhere in between Cacti or Snowflake personality. This will effect on how we think, perceive, react even how we speak.Knowing where we are in this personality continuum, also where our peers, family and friends in this spectrum will help us to temper our response. And this will improve our relationships in life and in work.

Working With Both And Thrive Together

In general, snowflake 'feel' and cacti more rational. About 60% women towards to snowflake and 70% men to cacti, so we cannot just assume based on gender. Carl Jung's typologi also said that everyone are somewhere in between. This also may shift througout our life and no such anyone is superior 'place' to any other.

Everyone Is Either Snowflake, Cactus Or Somewhere In Between

Finding where you and others doesnt mean you need to change people, but to know how to deal with them.See below questions and pick which one you prefer:<ol><li>Your daily to-do list OR make someone else's day</li><li>For someone you'll never see again, do you care whether they like you OR you strive to have good image</li><li>Work with direct people OR connected people</li><li>Direct OR diplomatic</li><li>Intellect and skill OR emphaty</li><li>Lead with head OR heart</li><li>Teams following procedure or teams that feel safe and value effectiveness</li><li>Leader is ability or caring</li><li>Contribute directly or by dealing with people10.</li></ol>

Find Where You And Others Are

10. Under pressure, attention and firmness OR caring and comsoderation?11. Reason OR compassion12. Share a bad news plainly OR trying to lighten the impact13. Analytical OR appreciative14. Decide based on logic and fairness OR kindness and feeling15. Value more plain truth and objectivity OR peace and belonging Count how many questions you pick on first option, more first options means more cactus you are. You rely on head,logic and fairness.More number of second options means you fall more toward snowflake. You value peace, emphaty and relationship.Or you are in between, the bridge-builder.

Take perspective of others to find the balance. Cacti might see snowflakes as illogical, but snowflakes see cacti as lack of care.Treat people not only as you would have them treat you but also as they would like to be treated. Say a simple hello and have a small talk will make a snowflake smiles and feel respected, while direct conversation works better with cacti.Knowing well how to treat people based on their personality will differentiate you from others who dont know how to do so.

Dont Stereotype, Have Consious Bias And Never Demeaning Others

Focus your attention on fine-tuning yourself rather than futilely attempting to fix others. Same experience may be perceived differently by snowflake and cacti.A group exchange in high energy can be perceived as spirited discussion by cacti but also as a potential conflict by snowflakes.

Same Event, Different Perspective

Control your thinking, what you say and what you do. If you tend to snowflake, trust your feeling. If you are cacti, leverage your logic. If you are a leader, surround your self with intermix of type. Build a team with a bit balance in number of snowflake and cacti.

Self Improve For Better Interactions

Cater your language, use both personality in the right moment. I.e. in meeting, cacti style sometimes is more needed. However, in delivering performance review, snowflake style is needed.

Watch How You Speak

The shadow facet of our personality isn the hidden part of ourselves woth which we dont consiously identify. Awareness of yourself and others allow for interventions that might prevent a shadow state from dominating. In these critical condition, acknowledge people's feelings, ask how you can help and work on coping strategies with them.

Know Your Trigger

Knowing where we are, and strive side by sise

This hilarious and profound workplace guide proves the rigorously rational and the supremely sympathetic can meet in the middle and merge their strengths. Readers will discover how blending with their opposite opens the pathway to being their truest selves. The famed Myers-Briggs personality scale says that Feelers (who lead with their hearts) put more weight on personal concerns and the people involved, and Thinkers (who lead with their heads) are guided by objective principles and impartial facts. This book calls them Cacti and Snowflakes—each singularly transcendent. But can people with such fundamentally different ways of making sense of and engaging with the world work together? Yes, says Devora Zack! The key is not to try to change each other. Zack says we can directly control only three things: what we say, what we think, and what we do. The best use of our energy is to focus on our own reactions and perceptions rather than try to “fix” other people. This book includes an assessment so readers can learn where they are on the Thinker/Feeler spectrum—and because it's a spectrum, readers might well be a snowcactus or a cactusflake. Then Zack helps them figure out where other people might be, guiding them through a myriad of modes of communication and motivation based on personality type. She includes real-life scenarios that show how to nurture one's nature while successfully connecting with those on the other side. As always, Zack fearlessly and entertainingly dispels myths, squashes stereotypes, and transforms perceived liabilities into strengths. And she once again affirms that, like chocolate and peanut butter, we are better together.

Understand yourself and those around you.

10 Principles for Taking Charge of Life

Not as a favor to others or because you’re holy, but to set yourself free. As long as you hate or hold a grudge against someone, you are their prisoner. They are in control of your life and you’ve given them that power. They may be long gone, have forgotten about you, or even be dead, but if they can still make you think of them in anger, you are their prisoner.Forgive and set yourself free.

1. Forgive.

We don’t have to like everyone or agree with what they say or do, but we can love one another. I’ve found when you serve others in need, your own problems are diminished.

2. Love and serve others

You never know what’s around the next bend, when the door will open for you or what angels are out there working on your behalf. “Failure” no longer exists in my vocabulary. Failure can only become a reality the moment you choose to give up.

3. It’s always too early to quit

Really accept them. Once you accept what is, you can begin to see what’s possible.

4. Accept your circumstances

You may not always be able to choose your circumstances, but you can always choose your response. This is the key to happiness. I am living proof that when you choose your response, it is possible to be happy and at peace even in the most horrendous of circumstances. You really get to choose whether to be happy or sad, grateful or angry, at peace or hate-filled by choosing your response. The circumstance becomes inconsequential.

5. Choose your response

If you want something changed, do it yourself. Don’t sit around and complain. Take action or stop complaining. The respect of others comes from what we do, not what we say.

6. Lead by example

When you believe you need what you want, you feel empty, unsatisfied, unfulfilled, restless. Take a moment to look around you, however, and count your blessings. This will fill the void of want you confuse with need.

7. There is a great illness in our society: want

There is no place to get to or position to attain where everything is perfect. We are always striving to get “there”… and missing here, now. We put off our happiness and joy today in our pursuit of getting “there.”

8. Understand that there is no “there” 

Asking “Why” is not a very useful question. It’s whiney and complaining and rarely yields a satisfactory answer. I’ve found a better question to ask is, “What for?” For what purpose is this happening? What am I to learn from this circumstance or do with the knowledge I gained?

9. Stop WHYning! 

So often you say, “I had no choice.” There is always a choice. The problem is, you may not like the options, so you say you have no choice. Don’t imprison yourself with the myth that you are not choosing your life. You are at every moment. So choose consciously.

10. Exercise your Power of Choice

10 Principles For Taking Charge Of Life | Inspire Me Today®

The ability to generate new combinations hinges upon your ability to see the <a href="https://jamesclear.com/feynman-mental-models">relationships between concepts</a>. If you can form a new link between two old ideas, you have done something creative.

The 5 Stages of the Creative Process

At first, you learn. During this stage, you focus on 1) Learning specific material directly related to your task and 2) Learning available material by becoming fascinated with a wide range of concepts.

1. Gather New Material

During this stage, you examine what you have learned by looking at the facts from different angles and experimenting with fitting various ideas together.

2. Thoroughly Work Over The Materials In Your Mind

Next, you put the problem completely out of your mind and go do something else that excites you and energizes you.

3. Step Away From The Problem

At some point, but only after you have stopped thinking about it, your idea will come back to you with a flash of insight and renewed energy.

4. Let Your Idea Return To You

For any idea to succeed, you must release it out into the world, submit it to criticism, and adapt it as needed.

5. Shape And Develop Your Idea Based On Feedback

Being creative isn't about being the first (or only) person to think of an idea. More often, creativity is about connecting ideas.

The Creative Process in Short

Nearly all great ideas follow a similar creative process and this article explains how this process works.

This article explains the creative process all brilliant ideas have in common. Anyone can learn to be creative by using these five steps.

The main understanding we have of filters is that it is different sorting methods that we use for a computer when searching things up It can apply to real life as well when making a decision we can automically cancel the options that don’t fit in our filter For example when thinking of a company to work for we can cancel all the companies that don't treat their employees fair. This mental model can also apply to investing as well

Filters  

The fat pitch strategy is mostly used in investing but can be used in other ways as well it states the value in deliberating waiting and thinking of things before you make a decision For instance imagine if you had only 20 investments in your whole lifetime you would think about every single investment you made to make sure it was right?

The Fat Pitch Strategy 

Dont just want things deserve things. If you want money don’t just want to be rich deserve to be rich.This is a mental model that will help you put in the work needed to succeed it will make sure you deserve the things you get. To deserve something you must meet the opportunity while being prepared

Because You Are Worth It 

For most of your decisions you can follow a probability mindset everything has a probability of success and a probability of failure make sure you are deliberating your decisions making sure you have the best option of success

Charlie Munger: Mental Models for the Rest of Your Life (PART 4)

Doubt can be a defining emotion that enables us to go deeper and deeper into our work, a driving force for exploration and depth. Left unchecked, doubt can dull and drain creative energy.We all know of moments in our own lives when doubt rears its head and blocks us. After we've done the work to unpack the doubt, we need to allow our confidence to grow stronger.

Understanding your doubt is the first step to using it

You have to earn it.During the moment that it feels the worst, when you feel sick to the pit of your stomach, your brain scrambles a mile a minute, you can barely breathe, and your knees are shaking, decide to stay with it and earn the confidence that makes the situation more bearable for next time.

Confidence comes with effort

The only way to build confidence and believe in yourself is to try something, learn from it, and do it again.Remember that the person in front of you is doing it. Self-doubt is a starting point for exploration, not confrontation.

Learn from other people-don't compete with them

Harness your self doubt to improve your confidence

<ul><li>Fearless means courage in the face of fear.</li><li>It means the ability to be with your fear - face it, focus on it, stay with it, and become intimate with it.</li><li>Our lives change when we have this kind of fearlessness.</li></ul>

The Meaning of Fearlessness

<ul><li>Mastery is the process of mastering something.</li><li>It's having a Beginner’s Mind, and being willing to stay in the process. It's a deepening into, not a final state.</li><li>Mastery is where the deepest growth takes place, where we become our most authentic selves.</li></ul>

The Process of Mastery

<ul><li>Fearless Mastery: A process of deepening into the training of fearlessness, getting intimate with fear, and creating a new relationship with uncertainty</li><li>In this process, we are willing to let go of ego and humble ourselves</li><li>We're willing to make mistakes, fall on our faces, and admit we don't know</li><li>It's a beautiful process of taking full responsibility for what we want to create in our lives.</li></ul>

The Possibility of Fearless Mastery

leadershipandmanagement

Leadership & Management

The Meaning of Fearless Mastery

<ul><li>One thing at a time: When you walk, just walk, and appreciate each step. </li><li>Put space between things: In between meetings and tasks, take a breath. </li><li>Clean as you go: Put away your clothes when you take them off. Wash your dishes after you eat or cook. </li><li>Do less: Reduce how much you’re trying to get done during the day. </li><li>Prioritize rest, so that you’re not constantly exhausted. </li><li>Eat whole foods. Eat slowly</li><li>Move often: Every 30-45 minutes, get up and move. </li><li>Have a cushion: Build a buffer into your life wherever you yourself living on the edge.</li><li>When you’re overwhelmed, take small steps.</li></ul>

Things That Make Life Easier

<ul><li>We read things into what people say and do and create extra meaning out of things. </li><li>We have a lot of things to do today, big and small, and it feels overwhelming, and we get stuck on doing anything because we have in mind how hard it’s going to be to tackle all of it, and how we might not be able to stay above water. When in fact, the simplest thing would be to pick one thing and get started.</li><li>We get anxious about an upcoming event, worried about what people will think about us. The simple thing would be to take some care to do preparation without overdoing it, and then show up and be ourselves.</li></ul>
