The 'meta' for building software with agents now incentivizes 'manager mode' attention more than pure 'maker mode' This is a different skill! It's much more about reviewing and unblocking, which can feel like tiresome context switching

We're soon launching a multi week version of Attention Copilot with a structured plan for experiments built in!

"Personal trainers to maintain focus" oh hey, that's us!

The delta between the best trainers and average comes from understanding the mechanics behind movement Attention Copilot uses a better underlying model for the mechanics of focus, inspired by contemplative practice and modern modalities (eg. jhana meditation, parts work, ACT)

I really enjoyed doing Attention Copilot with Pranab! If you do knowledge work where you have to constantly make a lot of decisions, I'd *highly* recommend trying this out.

in work stuff, a good example is what Attention Copilot is working on - tandem attention helps people get work done, but also do meta-work where you unpack patterns and feelings around work so you can get more stuff done with less burnout, more enjoyment, etc

you could literally pay to have this by booking a 4hr session with Attention Copilot

We call this the "execution gap" Breakthroughs and life-changing insights can be wonderful, but they then must change your life somehow! This goes down to the level of tasks, decisions, and habits. What now changes? What experiments will you run on how to live differently?

We love working with mech interp researchers! Protip: your brain's CPU needs to be cleared of "background cache" (e.g. open loops of uncommitted tasks, unmade decisions, unacknowledged wants) before it can hit 100% usage on your intended task with max agent usage

I'll be giving a talk to the latest Nervous System Mastery cohort tomorrow! Come join if you are an alum!

I think what Attention Copilot are doing is super interesting. Essentially, they're teaching unclenching practice whilst you're at work to find more flow + enjoyment. (i.e. its a superb inner-work trojan horse + typically leads to more productivity)

i sometimes have the experience of reading a section of a doc, feeling a snag, and then talking myself out of it rather than commenting on it—i assume either the author knows better than i do, or that other people who've seen it have already signed off. then, later, someone else

"I get (literally) twice as much done, and my day is way more fun" Testimonial from a Sr. Data Eng Manager who had one month of Attention Copilot sessions across our coaches Minnow Park and Leo Stevenson!

Fascinating...

This is an awesome project! aoa.zkf.io/teachings/

"less stressed and more productive" is what we're shooting for with Attention Copilot sessions!

oh shit just realized i should totally book an Attention Copilot sesh to help me practice guitar! i start working on a song and then run into something hard, and then the big ugh field overtakes me, and then i stop practicing hahaha

A way to view Attention Copilot: we teach you how to apply jhana practice to work! Mental tension blocks sustained, enjoyable focus on the task at hand. Tension comes from ambivalence and avoided emotions. We live debug those mental micro movements in sessions going from 90m to 3h
