- I need you to decide what my next action is.
- The current system, no matter how much you do, does not result in concrete action.
- Because thereâs no question to make it a concrete action.

Letâs talk.
What would you like to see happen in this conversation?
I need you to decide what my next action is.
What type of next action is that next action?
(I guess thatâs what happens.
bye-bye
Letâs talk.
What would you like to see happen in this conversation?
Listen first.
Yes, sir.
I also created a âmotivational systemâ a few years ago, âWhy donât you take a walk?â âHave you tried writing it down? The system suggested next actions like, âWhy donât you take a walk? While that system has quite a few fans, my side started to wonder, âIs it right to motivate people? I started to wonder if it was right to motivate them, and development has stopped. I see a large percentage of people who are on the verge of depression when I look at their input, and I wonder if services that motivate people should not exist as if it is a good thing. In other words, people who have many âthings to doâ and none of them are things they want to do, should not choose one of them to motivate them, but should first get away from that situation. Is it better to âhelp them find things they want to do that motivate themâ rather than âmotivate them?â
on the other hand
The âMotivation Systemâ was a prototype that was implemented using only static content and Google Analytics without a server program, but now that the cost of server-side operation has come down, it may be possible to rebuild it with a server side. Like this chat, maybe the UI could be a chat too. I still ask questions like, âCan you finish that task in 4 hours? The composition is similar to this chat system. I was going to discuss about improving this âKikidashi chat system,â but a new idea called âNext Action Selection chat systemâ was born, and maybe the two could be combined internally and become different modes. And the listening chat system is all about divergence and not convergence at all! Is it divergent thinking mode and convergent thinking mode?

What would you like to see happen in this conversation?
I want my Next Action to be decided.
What type of next action is that next action?
Hmmm, I knew this would happen. Actions to make the chat system better
I want my Next Action to be decided.
Is there anything else you would like to share about this Next Action?
Maybe add a chat-like UI on the browser, or convert the motivation system to chatâŠ
What is it that you value?
The current listening-out chat system works rather well in the direction of divergence, but it does not allow convergence, so the more we use it, the more we lose control. If the system can also support convergence, it would be good to be able to diverge and converge while talking to the bot alone.
What is that chat system like?
I donât know about you, but I wonder if design firms do something like this?

Is there anything else you would like to share about this chat system?
Convergence means deciding on a next action, and we have created a support system for this in the past that has been rather well received.
How do you know its Next Action?
The support system will present it to you, and the one you goof on will be chosen.
What is the relationship between Nextaction and chat systems?
Right now the next action suggestions are being made in a non-chat system way, but I can make more detailed suggestions if I get more information from the chat system or some other way. It doesnât have to be a chat system, it would be better to be able to paste a TODO list or something and have it read.
What type of chat system is that?
After the TODO list is loaded, questions are asked about the items to encourage concretization. It is more important to have a system that asks questions than to have a chat system.
Where is that chat system located?
I want it to work on my phone.

How do you know this chat system?
Who am I? The user? How do I know how to create this chat system? Iâm asking that and consulting the chat system.
Where is that chat system?
HEROKU.
Is Next Action the same as a chat system? Is it different?
Chat System Generates Next Action
What happens to the chat system during that Next Action?
(First of all, listen, I wonder if you heard what I saidâŠ)
(Thatâs too abstract a question.)
NGKW
Convergence means deciding on a next action, and we have created a support system for this in the past that has been rather well received.
Is there anything else about this convergence?
Now itâs only diverging, so pairing it with convergence will make it more valuable.
How do you know its convergence?
If you see what the machine suggests and your heart moves, you have converged.
Is there anything else you can tell us about that machine?
I was just talking about chat and loading to-do lists, but it would be interesting to see the data accumulate in Scrapbox.
Where is that TODO list located?
Iâm thinking it would be great if I could import TODO lists in a text format or something like that, since people have different preferences for how they want to manage their TODO lists, and it would be even better if it supported major TODO management appsâ formats. It might be useful to have keywords bracketed and such.
Is there anything else about that TODO list?
Maybe we could help with the process of making it itself, if we donât have one, we could start by writing down anything that comes to mind for a minute, or filtering the list we already have on hand if itâs already too much.
What type of process is the process itself?
The process by which TODO lists are created
How do you know its TODO list?
Well, if you start with âwrite everything down,â you donât have to assume that the first thing on your list is a TODO list.
What is the relationship between that TODO list and convergence?
Good convergence is when the TODO list is a collection of a small number of actionable actions, and people are enthusiastic about performing those actions.
Where is that TODO list?
be made
Is convergence the same as a TODO list? Is it different?
A TODO list or a list that is not even a TODO is given as input to the system, the system asks questions, and a good TODO list that can be enthusiastic is output.
What type of TODO list is that TODO list?
Maybe another name for âa list consisting only of actions you can be enthusiastic about,â a boring TODO list isnât worth it.
What does that TODO list look like?
Gasoline. If the tank is filled with gasoline, it can run and run. If you put water in the tank, it canât run. Just a little bit of water in the tank will cause the engine to go haywire. Purity is important.
What happens to your TODO list at the time of convergence?
It turns into quality fuel.
What happens to convergence when the TODO list?
Hard to converge from nothing, need something written out, even if itâs messy.
What is the link between that convergence and the TODO list?
Hmmm. I donât know.
What is the relationship between todo lists and enthusiasm?
A good TODO list will generate enthusiasm.
Is that enthusiasm the same as a TODO list? Is it different?
No. The TODO list is the fuel, and the result of burning it in the engine is the driving force of enthusiasm.
What happens to enthusiasm when its on the TODO list?
become more enthusiastic
Is there anything else you can tell us about that enthusiasm?
Enthusiasm is the most precious resource, and if we can generate it mechanically, humanity will be very productive.
What happens to your TODO list when its enthusiasm?
New ideas come up and the TODO list gets fatter.
What is the connection between that TODO list and enthusiasm?
Overly fat TODO lists can kill enthusiasm.
What type of enthusiasm is this enthusiasm?
Enthusiasm that motivates you to take action.
Where is your enthusiasm for this?
Well, maybe around the chest.
Enthusiasm that motivates you to take action.
Where is this enthusiasm?
Itâs in peopleâs minds and drives their actions.
What is the relationship between the person and the TODO list?
Currently, machines are not yet able to generate enthusiasm, so as we leave to machines what machines can do, the remaining role for people will be to generate enthusiasm, and the actions that generate TODO lists are also not being done by machines, they have to be done by people with enthusiasm.
How do you know its enthusiasm?
This is not yet verbalized, Emotion.
Currently, machines are not yet able to generate enthusiasm, so as we leave to machines what machines can do, the remaining role for people will be to generate enthusiasm, and the actions that generate TODO lists are also not being done by machines, they have to be done by people with enthusiasm.
What is this enthusiasm like?
Like dynamite. The power to break through barriers.
What is the relationship between actions and TODO lists?
The TODO list must consist of concrete actions, and even if this current conversation has generated enthusiasm for the idea that we need a mechanism to reformulate the TODO list, it is still not a viable concrete action!
Is the action the same as the TODO list? Is it different?
Itâs a âgood TODO listâ even if there is only one specific action that can be performed, in fact, it might be better if there are no multiple actions because there is no room to think about âwhich one to do firstâ!
What happens to your TODO list when that action is taken?
