Advanced Life Strategy (A Possible Book)

Anticipatory Activity System and Life Achievements

The above picture was designed for a new possible book about the Anticipatory Activity System (AAS) framework and Life Achievements.

The book collects my articles about the AAS framework and the Life Strategy project. Originally, I planned to edit a book about the AAS framework on August 12, 2022. See the picture below.

In August 2021, I joined an adult development program as an advisor. The program was initiated by a young girl who is a friend of mine. The program was designed with three components: 1) Life Purpose Awareness, 2) Personal OKR Practice, and 3) Peer Review and Feedback. My friend also adopted the Building In Public approach to sharing her goals, challenges, progress, and discussions with others on social media platforms.

I have been discussing various themes about the program with her for three weeks. On August 17, 2021, I realized it is possible to develop a framework for reflecting on her project and our conversation.

I adopted the Anticipatory System Theory as the primary theoretical resource and used a meta-diagram to develop the early version of the AAS framework. See the diagram below.

Originally, it was called iART framework. The name iART stands for i +Activity + Relationship + Themes.

This is the starting point of the AAS framework. From August 2021 to August 2022, I worked on different abstract levels of the AAS framework. You can find more details in Slow Cognition: The Development of AAS (August 21, 2021 — August 26, 2022).

The above diagram was made on August 26, 2022. It shows nine moves between several thematic spaces. However, I made the tenth move from August 2022 to Dec 2022.

The tenth move was about Rethinking Activity Theory from the perspective of Theoretical Sociology. It was located in the Meta-theory (mTheory) thematic space. Eventually, I used some ideas of Theoretical Sociology to curate three theoretical approaches and four frameworks together for understanding Creative Life.

The result is a semiotic system. See the diagram below. You can find more details in Slow Cognition: Three Paths of Creative Life and A Semiotic System.

In Nov 2022, I worked on the pink part which refers to the Creative Life Curation framework, and edited a possible book about it. You can find more details in The Creative Life Curation Project.

The green part refers to the AAS framework. On Nov 18, 2022, I wrote an article about the notion of “the World of Activity” which offers a new idea for understanding the creative life scope of creators. Thus, I connected it with the AAS framework and the Life Strategy project.

Why did I search for a concept like “the World of Activity”? Because I want to use a concept that refers to a meaning that is bigger than “Career”, but smaller than “Life”.

The picture below represents my ideas about the connection between the AAS framework, the concept of “the World of Activity”, and “Life Strategy”.

The concept of “Life Strategy” is a challenge. I have used a method called thematic dialogue to do some work about developing some ideas about “Life Strategy”. You can find more details in The Life — Strategy Thematic Dialogue.

Finally, I used the following concept map to define the concept of “Life Strategy” for a new possible book.

I also used the AAS framework to highlight three types of complexity of life achievements. See the concept map below.

Finally, I developed the Strategic Curation model in Dec 2022.

These new ideas inspired me to re-organize the book about the AAS framework. I designed a new cover image and used a new title for the possible book.

The new possible book is part of a series called “Aspects of Creative Life”.
