Time-life navigation © (TLN) key ideas

dot Navigating toward tomorrows; the roads ahead; unimagined futures (created by complex events that are beyond prediction and sometimes without precedent). Imagine the contrast between the worlds of 1850, 1900, 1945, 1960, 1980, 2000, 2020 and onward. Who could have been prepared?

Knowledge system view—the environment in which we're now embedded.

The capacity to navigate is at the core of social and economic development.

dot Mental patterns unavoidably and recurrently rooted in yesterday (our life lines). Typically we work on the familiar with the familiar. Need to periodically recreate.

Need situationally valid terrain (social, economic, political etc.) awareness—a foundation—for effective future directed decisions.

dot Adequate, systematic work approach (multi-generationally) is needed. Conscious time investments. How can we work on the unseen and unfamiliar? What are the powerful conceptual resources? What's on my radar? What are the time spans? A life-TIME investment system is needed.

dot Time-life navigation © web site prototypes a modular and comprehensive framework (blueprint) and tool kit for designing and navigating the necessarily unfamiliar roads ahead. This web site is a strategic resource and it integrates other resources. Site provides the convenience of a blueprint that can be edited rather than having to create from scratch.

The framework encompasses our entire lives—both present and future.

Site is not just something to read, rather it is something to do: Attention shifting; explore, time visualization, geographical visualization, cultural visualization, think, note areas of interest and disinterest, reflect on what these areas mean for the future and your future; Calendarize; Consider interest drill down depth and expansion width; Situation diagnosis; Imagine starting afresh while building on strengths. End result: conceptually valid life long work approach—time-life navigation. See TLN end result and action.

dot Opportunities of a life-time (see "personal opportunity thinking points")

dot Where's the evidence that this can be ignored without important consequence?
