how do you look at yourself?

Reflecting on our past, we evaluate our experiences, leading to moments of introspection and reflection.

As we mature, we gain the capability to plan for the future. I'm convinced that at various junctures in life, the majority of individuals aspire to evolve into better versions of themselves. We often grapple with our convictions about what's beneficial, yet might succumb to negative influences in the short term. Embracing change is a challenging endeavor.

In this research endeavor, I aim to uncover the methods through which individuals achieve fulfillment, particularly focusing on how they cultivate introspective emotions. I'm interested in understanding the deeply personal triggers that inspire individuals to instigate changes in their lives, ranging from overarching life goals to the minutiae of daily tasks.

Who is behind the wheel of the thoughts you made?

In the intricacy of human psychology, our innate need for fulfillment often drives our actions, yet it's introspection and reflection that guide our journey to understanding ourselves. From Maslow's hierarchy, which charts our ascent from basic needs to self-actualization, to the cognitive dissonance that highlights our quest for inner harmony, our minds constantly seek alignment and purpose.

The allure of short-term gratification, often amplified in our modern age of instant rewards and digital dopamine hits, can sometimes overshadow the deeper, more enduring satisfaction of long-term fulfillment. Habit formation, a cornerstone of self-development, requires consistent introspection and the ability to resist the siren call of immediate pleasures. By understanding and mastering the balance between these two forces, we not only enhance our self-awareness but also chart a path towards genuine, lasting contentment.

Instead of user research...

I believe I can simply look for answers inwards, backwards, and forward to define the user goal of this project. Naturally, if you are not so interested in how my brain works you might want to consider another case study to read.

Why does time pass faster when you age? Why do colors seem less vibrant, fading, when you look out the window? In our adult lives, we focus on moving forward missing the realization of living. Technological advancement granted us endless gratifications without real outcomes. I believe that real fulfillment is unique and personal to everyone Sand the key to that unique experience is through the experience of self-actualization.

If I were to explain the driving force of self-actualization, I would introduce the concept I called deep introspective mental model. Here are the key component of a deep introspective experience:

• Third-person Perspective Awareness - Judge your ego like you judge others.
• Visualizing Self-actualization - Dream once more like a child.
• Accept Growth Barriers - Acknowledging things that are not easy to change.
• Societal Understanding - Separate internal and external factors.
• Truthful Self Disclosure - Confession, reflection, and acceptance.

A personal and introspective space for introspection.

In essence, the security and privacy offered by blockchain can create a digital sanctuary for users. In this safe space, they might be more willing to confront and reflect on aspects of themselves that they might otherwise shy away from, fostering a journey towards self-actualization. Below are the insights around some additional research:

Navigate a virtual representation of their mind and emotions.

In a future where transformative experiences are integral to society, imagine a world where every individual is entitled to a blockchain-backed, behavioral-learning strong AI. This AI meticulously records each person's experiences and is accessible in an augmented reality (AR) setting, allowing individuals to see and interact with virtual representations of themselves from a third-person perspective. What once might have been considered unsettling becomes the new norm.

Within this paradigm, a productivity tool transcends traditional definitions. Users delve into their virtual minds, visualizing aspirations, confronting personal growth barriers, and distinguishing genuine desires from external influences. The AR platform amplifies sensory experiences, ensuring memories remain vibrant and fostering a deeper appreciation for the present.

Engaging with their virtual selves, users achieve objective self-evaluation and partake in reflective sessions. This interaction helps them visualize the balance between immediate pleasures and enduring fulfillment. In this society, the tool becomes more than just a means to productivity; it's a gateway to genuine self-actualization and transformative self-awareness.

Why are there no specific productivity application that focuses on self-actualization.

Taking a step back from my imagination. A week of market research in the productivity application industry, it is quite shocking to find self-actualization, as a concept, under advocated. Yes, there might already be a robust planning tool out there with a loyal user base, however, those are merely tools that treats the symptoms but not the root.

Despite mediocracy and lack of effort to aid self-actualization, looking at these competitors allowed me to gain insights on the tools one could use to be productive. Below are some insights from competitors:

• User-friendly interface with a focus on simplicity.
• Integration with other apps and platforms.
• AI-driven task suggestions and automations.
• Highly customizable to fit various workflows.
• Feature-rich even in the free version.
• Unique gamification approach to productivity, making it engaging.
• Collaboration features allowing users to team up and tackle challenges.
• Active community support.

Imagine the impossible regardless of feasibility.

As the digital landscape constantly bombards us with stimuli, our ability to focus and find genuine fulfillment is challenged. The allure of instant gratification often overshadows the profound satisfaction derived from introspection, reflection, and long-term achievements. By understanding the balance between these forces, we can harness tools and strategies to guide our journey towards self-actualization, the pinnacle of human fulfillment.
