The Polymath PolyCast with Dustin Miller PolyInnovator

While I’ve been a blogger for over a decade at this point I still write some posts free hand. Things like these “micro-blogs” on Medium/LinkedIn, or my Fireside Codex on the home site.The only thing I really plan is the title haha!I figured today I’d share some information about me and my life, as I don’t usually.— — 1. I’m part Hispanic, and I grew up with a Mexican step dad as well. Meaning a lot of that culture got imbued into my way of life. I put salsa into everything, and I listen to Vincente Fernandez when I get sad. Orale.2. Some people might know this from podcast interviews, but I built my first computer when I was 10 thanks to my uncle. I’ve built half a dozen since, and I use it daily for gaming or content creation.3. I’ve worked for over a dozen employers and two dozen different roles. Anywhere from lifeguard to elevator operator, cashier, and even karaoke jockey.4. I’m a massive gamer, even when I was young. Anything from Zelda to Pokemon, and even Halo and Diablo. I played on most consoles besides Sega ones, and the PS5. However literally all Nintendo’s, Xbox’s, PS1–4/PSP, etc.5. I spent the 6 years after high school pursuing deep self-development instead of college, and I don’t regret it one bit. I truly think I learned far more in that time span than I would have in school. Not to say schooling is bad, but rather I wouldn’t have learned.6. While singing is in my family, on both sides, I taught myself to sing by going to karaoke religiously for better half of a decade. You get anywhere from 1 to 4 songs a night. I’d go 3–4 nights a week, and practice as much as possible.7. I’m dying to move to ATX and Singapore.8. I love finding new tools and software, and being able to help people through those tools. Here is one I literally found this morning https://fliki.ai/9. I’m really good with Legos, like really good, and I would spend much of my life trying to build the best spaceship akin to Star Wars.Some of these are exposing my more youthful aspects of life, but being able to play with Legos as an adult I think is a very important skill. Not only do you help your hand eye coordination, 3D spatial reasoning, but it is good to play even as you get older.https://youtu.be/gswsQ8uNsYsIf you want to keep reading:https://polyinnovator.space/17-facts-about-polyinnovator-that-you-didnt-know/https://polyinnovator.space/polyinnovator-the-digital-polymath/

The P.I.O.S. in 2025: A Framework for Modern Knowledge Management!The P.I.O.S. (Personal Innovation Operating System or Poly Innovation Operating System) is a system framework I created for a modern approach to knowledge management, especially for polymaths. It’s designed to support generalists and multidisciplinary individuals, helping them build a multifaceted "omni-brain" (or "poly-brain").Unlike the "second brain" concept, which primarily serves as a repository for ideas, the P.I.O.S. emphasizes a more layered, holistic system that integrates all aspects of life. Over the years, I’ve refined this framework, and I’m excited to share its latest iteration.Layer 1: Yearly – Review and PlanThe yearly layer focuses on:Reviewing the past year to evaluate progress.Planning for the year ahead.This layer also includes phases, which represent your key areas of focus or disciplines. These phases are like macro-level categories (e.g., swimming, gaming, PolyTools). They allow for interleaving and overlapping, unlike static "areas" in other methods like PARA, which cater more to a specialist mindset.Layer 2: Quarterly – Four Pillars and Ikigai AlignmentThis layer integrates:The Four Pillars:Body: Tracking exercise and physical health.Mind: The Modular Degree, a DIY education framework to stimulate learning.Spirit: Practices like meditation and Buddhist koans.Emotions: Tracking emotional intelligence (EQ) and gratitude.Ikigai Alignment: Ensuring that all actions align with your personal and professional identity. This helps maintain synergy between your personal life (four pillars) and professional goals (Ikigai).Layer 3: Monthly – Projects and GoalsThis layer handles:Projects: Grouped under phases, with associated goals and tasks.Goals: Achieved through tasks or projects, they drive progress within your phases.Monthly Notes: A personal and professional summary, inspired by Derek Sivers' Now Page. This serves as a reflective journal, either private or public, capturing what’s happening in your life.Layer 4: Weekly – Systems and HabitsThis layer is about:Systems: Designing frameworks to sustain habits.Habits: Building and reinforcing behaviors.Habits and systems are interdependent. A system ensures that even if a habit lapses, it can be reestablished more easily. For example, a consistent exercise habit, supported by a system, makes restarting easier after a break.Layer 5: Daily – Content and NetworkingThis is the execution-focused layer:Daily Journal: A private space for reflection, which can also be public if desired.Content Ecosystem: Managing blogs, videos, podcasts, or other creative outputs.Networking Base: A personal CRM to track relationships with podcast guests, hosts, and collaborators.Layer 6: Archive and TemplatesThe final layer is for long-term organization:Archive: Storing completed projects, notes, and references.Templates: Predefined structures to streamline workflows, tailored to the tools in your knowledge management system.In ConclusionThe P.I.O.S. consists of six layers: Yearly, Quarterly, Monthly, Weekly, Daily, and Archive. Each layer serves a unique purpose, with iterations refined over time to create a cohesive and practical system.This is the first time I’ve shared this updated framework, and I’m thrilled to hear your thoughts. Cheers!Let me know if you’d like further refinements to the PIOS!
