【Life Hacks and the Practice of Tanka】Eight Concepts of Human Capability Development
In our daily lives, we use brain resources when we are conscious of tasks or what we need to do right now.
However, those resources have limits, and when those limits are exceeded, work performance declines.
The capacity of those resources is called cognitive resources.
In daily life, it seems that we are overusing these cognitive resources, leading to increased stress.
To avoid wasting cognitive resources, it is important to reduce the number of things you have to do (^^)
To that end, it is said that it is good to categorize the vast list you have written down into the following three categories.
■ "Do Now" To-Do List
■ "Do Soon" To-Do List
■ "Someday" To-Do List
It would be great if you could make it a habit, but to save cognitive resources and reduce mental distress, it is important to establish the following three things, so please try to be conscious of them.
1. Reduce the things you have to do as much as possible
2. Reduce the things you need to remember (prospective memory) as much as possible
3. Ensure that you at least complete your routine work
However, since it is important to use life hacks that suit you, I think you should choose methods that are easy for you to do, rather than forcing yourself to fit what is presented (^^)
Now, for those who want to think about what life hacks are,
“You who read me, are you sure you understand my language?”(From J.L. Borges, "The Library of Babel")
I will introduce concrete examples of hacks combined with the practice of tanka, which I think can be called the repetition of presenting a way of life in the first person (self-making). Are you driven toward a daily world where such a way of life (hacks) is considered desirable?
Please check it out (^^)
1. Truth
2. Choice
3. Simplicity
4. Infinity
5. Wholeness
6. Achievement
