phone problems.
monitoring systems eat a lot of CPU and slows down the phone. From notifications, to Fitbit, to Google fit, to Voice activation for Google assistant, Running GPS, Google Maps, while connecting to devices that update to the Phone, etc…Every year I may find that i have 3-5 additional monitoring background systems I want my phone to be running.
It may mean that I will have to Portion off Devices for dedicated Usages. Like a dedicated device for Health Monitoring, for Work systems, and for studies.
I dont know how to handle it or a system to Sort and Manage it. I just know that If I have all the details infront of me and I’m asked to make a choice I would be able to PDCA with the consequences and log the changes in my Personal Log Sheet.
I dont want to buy a new Phone. I dont have money for a 350-400USD phone. There are many costs I need to factor and plan for. My challenge is having a Good spreadsheet Write all these Costs and Questions Down so I can make a decision.
Which leads me to the problem with Finances and Uncertainty.
Abstract Ideas are Hard to Measure
Ideals, Feelings, and Fears in the Abstract is more EMOTION and more Powerful. DEFINED and grounded they hold less power over us. One of the take aways in Jake Knapp’s SPRINT that undefined and Abstract ideas occupy too much mental resources (short term memory) that it overwhelms us and Looks SO BIG to our mindspace. But written down they become deflated and its easier to have perspective.
Uncertainty KILLS my energy and Next Action reflex. documentation with the clarity it gives by centralizing all the factors for my limited Mental resources allows the Next Action muscle to function despite a lot of uncertainty.
When documentation is a Trained Involuntary Muscle – it will act and thus give me the means to power through Uncertainty.
Everyday Betrayal of my mind
if an idea was great in your head and “meh” written down is the everyday example of how in the abstract ideas distort our perception.
I believe I’m at the 50% and below working memory curve. documentation as a trained near-involuntary response manages a deficiency in working memory if we compare ourselves to smarter more talented people we can keep up (slow, but can keep up).
A pocket notebook is a symbol that – accepting my memory is shitty and I’m really distractable. The mental crutch i need.
As well as the HIGH i feel when i do a Memory Purge – and clear up my working memory for a task. Writing it all down and saying – Its ok to forget, you wrote it down.
