The 3 Pillars of Activism

Steering towards anything, from going to the bathroom to wining a Nobel Prize, stand on three pillars: 1. The creator. Creating a pool of questions or answers, which are both ideas. Ideation and creativity strengthen this 2. The Prioritizer. Choosing and scripting the ideas, could be a commination of several of them, parts of ideas, some blend, and different investment effort into different ideas. Analytical thinking, bias mitigation, and tools like Weighted Factor Model can strengthen this. Prediction capabilities. 3. The executor: It's a bit tricky to define what exactly execution is, because usually after the prioritizer and the creator stage, usually one goes back to the priortizer again. See this example for more details. I define this stage as a robot stage, unaware, uncreative, unopen to change only automatic actions based on prior work. Strengthen it by attention to everything you decided, focus, and calm. Those things depend mostly on the result of all the Q&A and prioritization you have done before in your life: your working system, your inner investigation, your knowledge and skills.

Meditation comes in handy for all stages.

Pool of questions and pool of answers: Going back to the world of questions can bring to life what was never asked, lightbulbs that didn't go on (like at the end of a meeting that you thought you understand but don't, you can never be too clear...)

Order, standing on the shoulders of yourself in the past, enables this. I could do this website since I have a knowledge management system for several years.

1 and 2 should be done ideally in different time and location

Many People skip stage 1 and 2, leave it to the automatic mental processes that are outside awareness. If you start in the third stage, and live in the world of answers. It is important to often go back to the world of questions. One way to do it is to ask questions about the questions.

Creating the pool in ongoing always. If your in a process that doesn't have an idea list and you keep in for a later stage, you're doing it wrong

That's it. Get better at those is the only thing you need.
