Sentient Future

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, Surprise/Anticipation), creating free self-guided documents to help others achieve "Good" results while scaling my impact and generating interest in Mastery (paid consulting services for individuals and organizations), then reflecting on what's working and iterating. Let's see how this goes!

IMPORTANT: If you get value out of this one-of-a-kind talk on fulfilment and regret-proof decisions, PLEASE comment your answer to this question: *** “How much longer would you need to live to be willing to forget these insights on fulfilment and this process of making regret-proof decisions?” *** Your answers mean the WORLD to me, as I measure the value of my life as the time I save in yours, and these ground-breaking insights/methods could save you YEARS of your life! I’m trying to live a “Fully Given Life”! Note that despite the question asking for a number, the answer is subjective. Only you get to decide how valuable this is to you. I will graciously accept any answer you offer and I’d love to support your ambitions any way I can. Please Like, Subscribe, and Connect. I will always try my hardest to save you more time than I ask of you.

The talk achieved two goals: 1) teaching the audience how to think about fulfilment in each of their lives in a practical, actionable way, and 2) guiding the audience through a process of defining/weighting what each valued in life such that they could use it to make regret-proof decisions and balance their short-term schedules in a fulfilling way.

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 #process #network #theory #time #coach #consultant #why #decisions #regret #give #service #video #future

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 of intentional time in OTHERS' lives, per what THEY value, and reduce my deficit to ZERO. 🕙 In less than ONE (1) year, I've saved over SEVEN (7) years (61,395 hours) in others' lives, per what THEY value, reported by THEM! In this progress report, I'd helped my client Stefan save 2 YEARS (17,520 hours) of his life over the course of a deep, 3.5-hour conversation, according to him. 🕙 This milestone means SO much to me that I'm crying tears of JOY! 🤧 🕙 But I'll NEVER be done. Life Goal 2? A "Fully GIVEN a Life": 🕙 Create an 80-year (~700,000-hour) SURPLUS of Intentional time in others' lives (roughly my Life Expectancy). TIME is our universal currency, and I'm giving all of YOU the equivalent of my life, for what YOU value, by offering guidance on how to define what YOU value and live accordingly. 🕙 Thank you for your time and attention. I will ALWAYS strive to be worth it. Until next time... 🕙 Live Intentionally

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 for you to live intentionally per what you value such that you live life without regret. Thank you for your time and attention. Live intentionally.
