Quantifying Well-Being: Big Mother, Big Brother
SXSW 2015 session.
Well-being isn’t only about health or even the absence of sickness. Today, it’s about purpose, social support, community, financial security and physical health. But is it possible to quantify your own personal well-being? And if so, what does the data mean and what should you do with it? This session brings one of the world’s most well-known leaders in personal data to explore the convergence of forces that combine high tech personal health tracking devices with fundamental lifestyle changes to empower people to achieve their optimal well-being. Chris Dancy, named the “The Most Connected Man on Earth” by Mashable, Fox News and the BBC. This interactive session will feature a session demonstration of "Smart phone" palmistry" where we will look at how we are embedding our lives into our devices

This document discusses a presentation about existence and the implications of digital technology on human behavior and identity. It covers several key topics:
- How digital systems collect and organize vast amounts of personal data about individuals.
- The challenges of having one's identity, behavior, health and environment tied to many different digital platforms and systems.
- Potential solutions like focusing on designing technology for contemplation rather than just attention, and putting kindness into all digital products and services.
- Implications such as "behavior as a platform," "environment as an interface," and "identity as a platform" as personalization and everything becoming programmable blurs the lines between people and technology.
- The need for ethical
Designing for wisdom in the age of information
Isolation is a leading symptom of depression. Our world is full of systems to keep us focused on different tasks and different times; we are becoming virtually isolated and hence more depressed.
This multi-system isolation is leading to a new form of loneliness and emerging forms of anxiety and extreme group think in our cultural narrative.
User interface and experience should enable people to feel fully unburdened from a fear of suffering.
From wearables, to on demand services, everything is designed to promote distraction from pain.

The interface has vanished. People and their behavior are now the standard for how developers and mega corporations create attention sucking services, apps, wearable devices and sensors.
How can we avoid the pitfalls of "Shamification" and move toward a world where we design ethically.
Coders and corporations should be mandated through government action to create technology that is healthy for the populations.
Time and Attention create a new definition for privacy.
New interface based on behavior
New experiences based on convenience

Wellness in the Digital Age
From Fitbit to Emoji: The Rise of the Enterprise Cyborg
Wellness is taking on new importance—and becoming more integrated into daily life—during the Digital Age. Employers must find new ways to help staffers
manage the stresses of the cyber-lifestyle. Some are choosing to flip the script, using digital solutions to excite the workforce about self-care. For example, to get workers moving during the workday, some workplaces sponsor competitions in which employees
use health trackers to complete walking challenges, with top-ranked movers reported on the intranet.

Quantified Self Revolution December 2013
This document discusses personal informatics tools for self-tracking health behaviors and the potential for these tools to facilitate behavior change. It provides an overview of self-tracking apps and devices, as well as models for understanding persuasive technologies and behavior design. A mid-long term research study is described that tracked participants using self-monitoring devices in the fall, winter with a silent period, and spring. The findings showed that most participants stopped tracking in the winter and some had negative reactions in the spring due to data frustrations or social factors. The conclusion discusses designing self-tracking tools for simplicity and focusing on abilities rather than motivation to better facilitate positive behavior changes.

Critical thinking in The Age of Information
Critical thinking discussed in a technical manner. Critical Thinking is considered the second most important skill till 2020 and beyond in the age of information and data analytics.
Thus its "critical" to look at things in a more objective manner to enhance our decision making and problem solving abilities.
MEMORY AS A SERVICE- Learning to Hack Time Cognition
Technology has twisted our relationship with time beyond recognition. What started as a 24-hour news cycle has morphed into a perpetual now, relentlessly grinding away at our civility. Humans are evolving our first new sense as cyborgs, chronoception. Just as real as sight, taste, touch, sound, and smell, this new visceral time sense is abruptly stunting our ability to communicate with each other. We prefer to talk to humans on the phone and machines in real life. Time stripped away from physical objects, systems, and cultural celebrations. 24-hour breakfast at McDonald's, binge watching entire seasons of television, vaping, Black Friday that starts on Wednesday or release dates that start at midnight, everything is earlier and faster. In this mind-bending session, we will explore the tools, procedures to shift and change our perception of time using technology. Audiences will learn how to use software, hardware, and services to reshape and slow down their perception of time and start to live more harmonious with their technology.
The Quantified Self Movement
The document discusses the Quantified Self movement, which involves using technology tools to track personal data and metrics in order to gain insights and achieve self-improvement goals. It outlines how data can be automatically collected about digital activities, locations, physical activities and physiology. Tools provide feedback through charts, graphs, reminders and alerts. Tracking behaviors like eating, sleeping, work habits, and sitting can help identify areas to reduce distractions and improve willpower. The author overcame a genetic heart condition by radically changing his diet and exercise using self-tracking spreadsheets, but later developed his own system called HealthESeat that tracks sitting time and prompts activity to better support his plant-based diet and weight loss goals.
Social Hospitality: Using Social Media to Make Your Residents Feel at Home
Often times, the initial point of contact between a prospect and an apartment community happens online and in the social space. Once that prospect becomes a resident, he or she might still prefer to interact within the social space. Whether you're using social media to make that initial connection or you're cultivating a long-term relationship with your residents, knowing how to make them feel at home is important. Join Ansley Sudderth, Social Media Training & Development Coordinator with For Rent Media Solutions™ to cover techniques in social hospitality. You'll walk away with newfound knowledge on:
-Using social media to incentivize your residents to create conversation
-Using Pinterest to help prospects and residents envision their dream living space
-Using Facebook to connect and share community events
-Using Vine to showcase your features and amenities
-And more!
Social cognition
Social cognition refers to how people process and respond to social information. It involves interpreting social cues, analyzing social situations, and remembering social information using mental structures called schemas. Schemas help organize our knowledge about social roles, people, and events. When making judgments with limited time and information, people rely on mental shortcuts called heuristics. However, social cognition is not always rational and can involve errors like unrealistic optimism and counterfactual thinking.

FireSpring Webinar - Happy Healthy Fundraiser
Beth Kanter discusses burnout in the nonprofit sector and provides strategies for self-care and creating a culture of wellbeing in the workplace. Burnout is common due to high demands, few resources, and lack of recovery time. Self-care includes consistent habits to enhance wellbeing, such as protecting sleep, going on a news diet, meditative art, scheduling quiet time, and taking real vacations. To create wellbeing in the workplace requires leadership and culture change through staff feedback, wellness programs, and small policy changes rather than quick fixes. The benefits include improved recruitment, retention, health, and performance.

Congratulations, you have an online community! Odds are, you also have an offline community. Are you using one to strengthen the other?
Most of the organizations I work with in my practice already have all the ingredients in place for a real, vibrant community that lives on and off line. Too often though, on- and offline are treated as separate worlds, with little effort made to bridge the gap. Communities thrive when there is varied and ongoing interaction. Merging physical and non-physical conversations, events, and activities is one of the strongest tactics for building community in the real world.
In this session, we'll talk about how communities form, the ingredients for engagement, the importance of culture, and tactics for bridging the gap.
Takeaways:
- An understanding of the different types and benefits of online and offline communities
- Tactics to kickstart their online and offline communities
- Ways to engage their communities both online and offlineSocial Media on a Shoestring Budget
Presentation given for Tennessee Association of Museums 2013 Conference in Franklin, TN.
Most museums are involved in social media as a part of outreach. But, in this constantly shifting field—and in museums with a small budget—how do you sustain a social media program, and how do you know if the precious staff resources you are investing in your outreach are really working? This session will investigate how "listening" and learning from one's audience on social media, coupled with a few free tools, can provide you with the right information to implement a social media strategy. Measuring your museum’s social media successes will also be discussed through the deployment of simple, free tools, such as Google Analytics and Excel.
#JTSMAsocial - a social media workshop
This document discusses using social media for fundraising and information sharing by charities. It provides tips and examples from the Beating Bowel Cancer charity's social media use, including being informal, engaging, and going beyond just sharing information to actively participating in conversations. Case studies are presented on measuring social media impact from a running event. Key recommendations are to sort out social media measurement metrics, focus on telling compelling stories, and let others do the sharing. The "magic three" of social media, email, and websites are discussed as complementary channels to drive different types of actions.
I.S. permaculture handout
This document provides information on permaculture principles and design. It discusses 12 permaculture design principles, including observing and interacting, catching and storing energy, and obtaining a yield. It also covers the permaculture ethics of earth care, people care, and fair share. Group guidelines for respectful discussion and participation are outlined. Site analysis categories like sun, wind, water resources are defined for permaculture design.
The Happy Healthy Nonprofit: NTC Slides
This document summarizes a conference session on using technology for a healthier work and life in nonprofits. The session included an assessment of individual tech wellness, techniques for improving wellness like taking breaks and being mindful of technology use, and how organizations can support wellness through culture, programs, and policies. Examples were provided of a nonprofit that encourages outdoor activities and movement through various initiatives including standing desks, rituals around video calls, and using technology to schedule walks and movement breaks. Attendees reflected on bringing wellness into their own workplaces.
mental health (1).pptx
The document discusses strategies for supporting student mental health and well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic. It outlines the typical stages of grief people may experience, including denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. It then provides recommendations for coping strategies like being patient, flexible, and kind; maintaining social connections; engaging in self-care; and limiting news and social media consumption. Critical strategies discussed include reducing distractions, maintaining physical and electronic organization, and mental time management of tasks and assignments.

Facebook of the Dead - The Future of Death

We are immortal! Each day we see our friends and family organically cease to function, whereas their digital footprint remains very active. As the first fully digitized species starts to retire or expire from corporate culture, how will we deal with their legacy data.
The Egyptian "Book of the Dead" circa 1550 BCE, chronicled the magic spells and rituals assisting the passage of the dead to another plane. Preservation, afterlife, and judgement are translated into an information rich culture of storage/security, access and algorithms.
In this age of information and ephemeral data, how do we protect, celebrate, and respect this transition?
Ephemeral Knowledge - the Shift to Disposable Culture
In 1870, *Harper's Bazaar* was filled with information from cover to cover, each page overflowing with photos, text, and diagrams.
In the early 1900s, the shift to white space in periodicals radically changed not only the printed page, but also our very culture. Plummeting printing prices had allowed designers to remove content from the pages. The age of white space was upon us. Culturally, white spaces say to the world - we are wealthy, we are abundant in resources, and can literally throw away precious space and information.
The 2000s brought us the constrained knowledge culture. Shorts from blogs, character limited messaging, even videos that only last seven seconds.
Fast forward to the 2010s. Today’s information consumer is presented with something radically different - ephemeral media. It marks a shift in how we create, consume, and respect knowledge.
For 30 years, IT has been struggling with knowledge management. In an information-rich age, this struggle has led us to the age of the disposables. From Snapchat, Workshifting, Car2Go, and even URL's that expire, couch surfing apps to API’s that direct you to Meetup for free meals.
Citizen Scientist - N of 1
What if employees were given information about THEIR health and habits in the same way it was given to a world-class researcher or scientist? What would mountains of actionable data do to THEIR LIVES, and how could THEY improve how THEY live?
It started with life logging and the quantified self, and now the first data driven health prosumers are taking over. From measuring the decay of DNA to adjusting the humidity in their homes, the citizen scientist of this decade will radically redefine healthcare, as we understand it.
We will explore:
1. How the role of clinician, physician, and facility will change in this world
2. The role of data collection in understanding future health
3. How to correlate environmental conditions to your biological systems -I would not make this a call out.
4. How emerging trends in genetics and home health will change our world in the next two years
5. The top five things out of 100 you can do to help employees and yourselves start taking charge of your health.

IT Marketing Management
This document outlines an IT marketing management (ITMM) framework. ITMM was created to help change perceptions of the IT organization and map to operational and tactical ITIL layers. The agenda covers introductions, why traditional frameworks focus on separation which is unnatural, how customer expectations have evolved with "infosumerism", challenges in finding the right marketing mix, using inner sales skills, and applying maturity models. Key points are that customers see IT differently than how IT sees itself; communication is critical given new transparent and social environments; and people, process and tools are still important with a focus on people. Metrics and adapting as customers and IT change are emphasized.
