Game in the Brain

My Skills Template

Criteria – My skill Template have the following:

1. Measured. weekly hour metric. example. 
1. Chinese 5-7hrs a week, 
2. Exercise 3-5 hours a week, 
3. Listening using TTS various books 15 hours a week.
4. Diet 5-7 hours a week. 
2. Goals and objectives. Goals worth writing down, and objectives that are optional. 
3. Monitoring. weekly notes that monitor, define, narrate, plan, and create objectives. example
1. Work and Personal Notes (a gdoc that centralizes everything via hyperlinking)
2. gaming skills. 
3. Health and Exercise. These are the exercises I use now, injuries and other quirks of my body that I discover. Including performance limits and the methodologies I practice. 
4. Food and Diet. The food I eat and the goals in Macro I aim for. as well as links to my research and the quantities. Hyperlinked are folders for my test results. 
4. Vessel/Repository. place to dump everything related to that skill for evaluation. i have a scheduled amount of time. (see monitoring notes)

Other Criteria

1. The more elaborate in these 4 criteria, the energy I put into the skill. 
2. Anything outside this criteria is a skill I’ve not bothered and can be considered “defaulting” (GURPS) or unskilled. While I may be unskilled, Some skills have a Very High Success rate by following Methodologies I care to document or research. I have the option to succeed at the expense of time. 

Cross Purposes. 

How core skills build on other skills.

1. All Skills have a Core Methodology. 
2. The Methodology tends to have a Sequence or Framework. 
3. As we practice we alter the sequence, the elements of the sequence, and build Methodologies within Sequences. 
1. We inter-relate Methodologies by being able to Use other Methods to trigger Procedural knowledge. 
4. When we master this Methodology we can ignore the sequence and framework, and instead react to Triggering Conditions or we Adapt our methods to the circumstance. 

A lot of my work studies I re-purpose to games. Teamwork, Leadership, Training, organizing, etc.. are all usable for people at work because of the strong parallels. If I can make a worker Engaged in problem solving then I can engage a Player in a Game.

So my Work is a combination of:

1. Writing and Documentation. This includes the Organization of knowledge.  
2. Analysis. a lot of my studies give me criterias to add and use for analysis. and problem solving. 
3. Problem Solving
4. Communication and Teaching
5. Gaming (which is expressed in Modeling Knowledge. Making knowledge into criterias, models, mechanics, and other mental artifacts that act as tools). 

Sayings that Act as Criteria

1. If You Can’t Measure It, You Can’t Improve It. – Peter Drucker
2. if You Can’t Improve It it will deteriorate
3. If you don’t use it, you lose it.
