Information Ecology Practices
Principle 4: understanding is enhanced by intelligent practice
The transition to a knowledge-based digital environment has been vital to the transformation of the nature of information ecosystems and a global dynamic of the intensification of intelligence. The emerging holistic life science of Information ecology incorporates principles, disciplines and protocols that facilitate the emergence of a common collective intelligence:
Be mindful that information has:
Zero mass
Zero physical size
Virtually zero travel time
Be mindful that these zero-based properties - combined with advances in technology - open up a new, infinite, digital universe
Discover how information properties make possible - as never before - a new digital commons and
Enable common access to properties of the whole
Be mindful of the power of zero
addition & subtraction - it does nothing
multiplication - reducing any number to zero
division - raising any number to an immeasurable, infinite number
exponential power - bringing all numbers to one
Be mindful of zero's synonyms: nothing, none, null, empty, void, the unknown
Be mindful that information obeys the following principles:
value is enhanced by intelligent organization
management is enhanced by intelligent protocols
flow is enhanced by intelligent networks
understanding is enhanced by intelligent practice
Observe the intelligence and value of each information ecosystems with which you interact
Pay attention to the boundaries of information ecosystems
Pay attention to the interactions between information ecosystems
Discern and observe the architecture of information ecosystems
Be mindful of endangered information species and patterns of dominance
Observe your organization's information habitats and their dynamics. Are they in design and use?
Engage in an ongoing collective process of observing, enhancing and fine tunic the internal flow of information
Observe your personal information habitats. Are they for you?
Integrate, enhance and fine tune your personal information habitats
Seek virtually effortless interaction with your information habitats
Focus on hand and eye movement alone
Save keystrokes whenever possible
Align in style with cascading styles
Observe the Tao of information

Doing One Thing At a Time
In karate, practicing the basic strike demands that
The opponent should be vividly imagined
The look should be steady and directed to the chest of the imagined opponent
The elbow of the arm not striking should strike backwards with equal force
The hip should rotate in order to enhance the strike
The exhale should take place in the moment of impact
The wrist must be straight during the strike
The arm should not be streched out entirely (in order not to wear out the elbow joint)
The fist should rotate just before the moment of impact
Having all this in mind when practicing is very difficult. A better idea is to concentrate on one thing at a time. Iterate over the list of things to practice. Let the other things happen by themselves or go wrong, as the case may be. This method of practicing is of course applicable in all kinds of training.
Choosing to Focus on the Practice
Another useful technique to use when practicing, also inspired by martial arts, is to enter a meditation position before and after the training.
Before the training, enter the position and
Consciously remind yourself that you choose to do this training
Affirm that you will be concentrated and use the time effectively
Visualize yourself doing what you are going to do, feel that you are relaxed and that it is fun to practice
After the training, enter the position and
Visualize what you practiced and visualize yourself doing everything perfectly
Thank yourself for being concentrated and feel the joy of development
