Constancy

Key Claims

• Constancy concerns training your predictive attention to serve your task attention in continuing the engagement with the task.
• Constancy is how you shape your predictive attention to pull your task attention through the task (time).
• Constancy’s matter is the transition from step to step within a task.
• Constancy (ordered intensity moved through time) is a condition for flow.
• Constancy allows you to attain and maintain the state of flow.
• Constancy shapes strategies over time.
• Habituation is the work of constancy. Inconstancy is what produces sensitization.
• All growth attained in work is attributable to constancy.
• By making effort required = engagement, constancy reduces perceived effort of task to zero. (Aka, “effortless attention” or flow.)
• Automation is the opposite of constancy: a series of steps without deliberation.
• Automation happens when distractors have been sensitized.
• Automation is the same thing as tunnel vision caused by cravings.
