Mindshift Mechanics
Prices increase July 16!
This 3-week course isn’t just about building a knowledge management or automation system—it’s about transforming your mindset and meta-cognition. The system you build is both a mirror and amplifier of your new adaptive way of thinking.
Students aren’t passive learners or template users; they become inventors and remixers—learning to construct, adapt, and even create their own adaptive thinking tools and exercises.
You can ask for a full refund anytime up through the first week of the course.
Current Module Flow & Structure
1. The Great Inversion—Why Mindshift Matters
Sets the “why” (AI, uncertainty, smaller/faster wins).
Introduces core ideas: the adaptive mind as the true engine; systems as extensions/amplifiers of self.
CRAP and IPODS introduced as foundational frameworks.
*Mini-deliverable: Change Map—personal adaptivity baseline.*
2. Mapping Your Edge—CRAP/IPODS + Self-Audit
Deep dive into personal differentiation, workflow bias, and system anatomy.
Students map their “moat” and system strengths/gaps.
*Deliverable: Differentiation Map.*
3. Build Your System—Giga Brain Foundations
Guided construction of a living insight engine (Giga Brain or equivalent, with doc).
System structure reflects personal edge and mindshift priorities.
*Deliverable: System skeleton + process documentation.*
4. Serendipity by Design—Insight Rituals
Students design and embed rituals for surfacing surprise, synthesis, and blindspots.
*Deliverable: Insight Surfacing Rituals.*
5. Opportunity Radar—Signals, Sensing, and Synthesis
Tools and routines for tracking weak signals, edge trends, timing new opportunities (e.g., when to hop on an AI “hype train”).
*Deliverable: Opportunity Radar (dashboard, workflow, or experiment).*
*Includes: “Hype Train Filter” exercise—when to jump versus wait.*
6. Adaptive Cognition Mechanics—Remix & Meta-Patterns
Explicit focus on meta-patterns: Focus Blinders, Stepwise Thinking, Layered Synthesis, CRAP/IPODS, Serendipity, Collaboration, Constraint, etc.
*Signature Pre-casting Group Exercise* (students act out stepwise, blinders-on thinking).
*Deliverable: Mini-exercise—design a micro-adaptive ritual or group exercise using 2–3 ingredients.*
7. Meta-System Design—Create & Share Your Adaptive Exercise (Capstone)
Students invent and facilitate their own adaptive cognition exercise/model, using course frameworks.
Peer testing, feedback, and reflection.
*Deliverable: Original adaptive exercise/model + reflection.*
8. The System That Builds You—Demo & Debrief
Capstone demos: present your evolved system AND your original meta-exercise.
Group debrief: how your system and thinking have changed; what new standards you’ve set.
*Deliverable: Demo + meta-exercise showcase + mindshift summary.*
