Wired for Frameworks

A deeper dive into frameworks and wireframes for teaching and understanding complex concepts.

The assimilation phase entails creating wireframes that make sense to us.

Music theory intimidates a lot of people. So instead, I teach the framework from which music evolves.

Providing users with a framework of which your solution evolved from is key. Clarity of your framework is key if you want others to adopt it.

Learn by doing

The quicker you can get a student engaged in the activity, the better. Learn by doing is very effective way to learn. Experience is the best teacher.

Today I'm attempting to teach a 4.5 year old how to play ukulele. This will be a great opportunity to pilot/develop a new framework!

It's better to get it quickly than to delay for something prefect. Time is of the essence!

A Medium 'Template'

Tie every call to action to a post a page at pubwriter.

Bias:
This is your default mode. It's what you currently believe. It's where you are currently STUCK.

Example: I need more money so I can pay my bills.

Reality:
An unbiased - truly objective view of the situation.

Example: They bills are more than I can pay under my current system

Reprogramming:
What you need to do to get where you need to be.

I have to take on more work. I need to reach out to 10 former clients a day. I need to schedule calls to sync up and explore possible opportunities.

I need to sell some things to bring in some extra income. I have plenty to sell.

I must put off anything non-essential that takes time from my 10k sprint!

You are the interface to every experience. When you step out of the four walls of your home address, your IP address changes. The 'search results' which show up as thoughts will be based on the circumstances at the time you conduct your inquiry.

Daily Success Framework for Winning the Week

Here's a framework you can use to achieve daily success and win your week, based on the information found in the sources:

Identify Your "Why": Before diving into the daily grind, understand the reasons behind your entrepreneurial leap. What are your long-term goals and aspirations? What do you want to accomplish in the coming months and years?

OBT: One Big Thing

Establish Your Daily Most Important Task (MIT): Determine the single most crucial task for each day. This task should align with your overall goals and contribute significantly to your progress.

Break Down Goals into Weekly Costs: Take your larger goals and break them down into manageable weekly actions. Determine the daily practices, work sprints, or tasks required to move you closer to those goals.

  1. Plan Your Day for Success:

Schedule Everything on Your Calendar: Transition from a to-do list to a calendar-based system. Allocate specific time slots for your MIT, other important tasks, and even breaks.

Theme Your Days and Weeks: Dedicate specific days or parts of your week to particular themes or categories of work. For example, Mondays for management, Wednesdays for marketing, and so on.

Embrace Time Blocking and Batching: Group similar tasks together and schedule dedicated blocks of time to work on them. This focused approach minimizes distractions and enhances efficiency.

  1. Execute Your Plan and Track Your Progress:

2. Cultivate the Right Mindset for Success:

Focus on Solutions, Not Problems: Instead of dwelling on challenges, concentrate on finding solutions. Adopt a solution-focused mindset to overcome obstacles effectively.

Embrace Failure as Part of the Journey: Understand that setbacks and failures are inevitable parts of the process. Learn from your mistakes, adapt your approach, and keep moving forward.

Visualize Positive Results: Cultivate a clear and vivid mental picture of yourself achieving your goals. This positive visualization can enhance your motivation and focus.

3. Continuously Improve Your Process:

Track Your Task Timings: Estimate how long you think tasks will take and record the actual time spent. Analyze the differences (your "fudge ratio") to improve your time estimates and planning accuracy.

Leverage Technology and Tools: Explore and utilize task managers, note-taking apps, and other productivity tools to streamline your workflow and stay organized. Experiment with different options to find what works best for you.

Seek Out Positive Influences: Surround yourself with supportive and successful individuals. Learn from their experiences and allow their positive energy to inspire you.

Remember, this framework is a starting point. The specific details of your daily success plan will vary depending on your individual goals, work style, and preferences.
