Six Frames for Thinking about Information

This 90-minute-book gives the idea of how to direct your attention to any information rather than being directed to it. After all, information will lead you to perception. So the way we perceive information is all-important.

You begin to assess the piece of information by looking through each frame.

The triangle frame: Purpose - what is the purpose of looking at the information? Are you just filling up time or researching for data?

The circle frame: Accuracy - look directly into the fundamental accuracy of the information. Apply doubt and comparative accuracy. After all, not all information is accurate or fact based.

The square frame: Point of view - is there a different way of looking at the data? By looking the information from different point of view, you get unbiased view of information.

The heart frame: Interest - direct your attention to matters of interest, be it general or specific interest.

The diamond frame: Value - what has been the value of the information? It's all about clarification of values through direct attention. There are six types of value though.

The slab frame: Outcome - represents a platform on which something is to be presented or exhibited i.e. conclusion.

So I applied the six frames method unto this book. Its content has served the purpose of providing the guideline on attending information. It seems accurate from the theoretical point of view. What interest me was the six value medals (there's another book of it). Overall, the six frames method is useful and valuable in getting the right information or data. And I thought I've overpaid this book.

Akiu Onsen and waterfall

Again, based on a recommendation from an AI tool, I took a day trip to the Akiu Onsen area using public transport. Visiting an onsen wasn’t really my main agenda—it was the waterfall, Akiu Otaki Waterfall, that I wanted to see. Getting to the Akiu area requires careful planning around the public bus schedule. I took a bus from the Nagamachiminami area. Honestly, I didn’t even know where that was—I just followed Google’s directions. I arrived in Akiu Onsen town at 9 a.m. Just a short walk from the stop, you can enjoy a view of Rairaikyo Gorge. You can basically walk around the whole town in about 30 minutes. Since I couldn’t locate the public bathhouse, I decided to head to the waterfall. Unfortunately, the bus to the waterfall had already left, and the next one wouldn’t arrive until after lunch. Walking there would’ve taken too long—about 4 km, I think—so I had lunch first. After lunch, I waited for the bus to the waterfall. It was truly a great sight. If I’d had more time, I would hav...

Kumano Kodo - Day 2

After a good rest, I departed for Hosshimon-oji. The hotel provided free transit to the Hongu area, so I saved some time waiting for the bus. The plan for the day was a 7 km walk from Hosshimon-oji to Oyunohara. Since my next lodging was in the Yunomine Onsen area, I decided to add an extra walk from Oyunohara to Yunomine Onsen, which was about 2.2 km. At Hosshimon-oji, the trail is essentially a connecting route to the Takijiri trail. The previous stamping station was about 800 meters from Hosshimon-oji, so I made a detour to Inohana-oji. That detour added approximately 1.6 km to my journey, taking about 30 minutes or more. From Hosshimon-oji (after detouring via Inohana-oji), I started walking toward Hongu Taisha, which was about a 2.5-hour walk. Along the way, I stopped to rest and take photos. It was quite a leisurely walk. Part of the trail is paved, while the rest consists of forest paths lined with cypress trees (I guess). By the time I reached the town around Hongu Taisha, it w...
