Deep dives
Building a Deep Life as a Team
It is important to involve your partner in co-creating a deep life. Working together as a team allows for a shared vision and ensures compatibility between individual visions. Rather than approaching life as business partners, where each person focuses on their own goals, prioritize building a coherent and fulfilling life together.
Training for Organization
Organizational skills are not necessarily genetic, but can be developed through practice and training. If you feel less organized compared to your partner, it may be because you have had less exposure to organizational habits and experiences. Start by incorporating simple organizational practices, such as the most important task method, and gradually build up your skills over time.
Take Small Steps and Be Patient
Don't expect to become highly organized overnight. Building organizational habits takes time and effort. Start with small, achievable goals and gradually increase the complexity of your organizational practices. Be patient with yourself as you train your mind and develop new habits.
Practice Self-Compassion and Avoid Comparison
Avoid comparing yourself to others, including your partner. Remember that everyone has different backgrounds and experiences that shape their organizational abilities. Instead of being critical, practice self-compassion and focus on your own progress and growth.
Apple's Approach to AR Over AI
Apple is prioritizing the development of augmented reality (AR) over artificial intelligence (AI). Their recently launched Vision Pro goggles demonstrate the focus on perfecting the AR experience before tackling the technology. The Vision Pro uses pass-through augmented reality, where a camera captures the real-world view, making it easier to add digital elements to it. The goal is to eventually replace the goggles with more user-friendly glasses equipped with waveguide technology. By dominating the AR market, Apple aims to reduce the need for individual screens and create a device that can deliver all screens in one.
Why Apple's Strategy Makes Sense
In a market saturated with AI advancements and fierce competition, Apple's focus on AR provides a smart alternative. Developing an AR device that delivers all screens rather than investing heavily in AI aligns with their long-term goals. Unlike AI, which is becoming a more cost-competitive and challenging field, dominating the AR market can create a lucrative space and put Apple at the forefront. This approach allows Apple to prioritize perfecting the AR experience while anticipating future advancements in technology.
