「「職人技に注目」首相愛用の“早苗バッグ”が話題沸騰…長野県の老舗メーカーに予約殺到で来年3月発送分まで完売」　就任直後から重要な外交イベントが続いている高市首相の「愛用品」が話題になっています。29日までトランプ大統領が6年ぶりの来日。そして30日からは韓国入りと、上々の滑り出しとも評価された外交と共に注目されている「バッグ」があります。それが官邸に入る際、高市首相が持っていた黒いバッグです。就任直後からSNSなどでは“早苗バッグ”と話題になっています。この“早苗バッグ”を製造しているのが、長野・御代田町にある創業145年の老舗メーカーです。濱野皮革工藝・小林孝典さん：高市首相本人に確認したわけではないが、弊社のものとお見受けしている。その“早苗バッグ”はオールレザーでA4サイズが収納でき、重さが700グラム。税込み13万6400円です。濱野皮革工藝・小林孝典さん：SNSで話題にしていただく前は全カラーご用意があったが、完売してしまった。2026年3月末までの発送分はすでに予約で売り切れ。現在はブラックのみ注文を受け付けています。小林さんは「私どもに限らず、いいものを作る職人さんはたくさんいらっしゃるので、その方々にも注目がいったらとても日本にとってもいいことなんじゃないかなと思ってます」と話しました。他にも高市首相が使っているボールペンも話題に。次はどんな「愛用品」が注目されるのでしょうか？

Änglar har vakat över oss sedan urminnes tider. Konstkritikern Nils Forsberg har träffat några av släktets mer sorgsna exemplar i Berlin. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Essän sändes första gången 2025.Den är inte bara rätt ful, den är liten också. Som ett A4-ark ungefär, som ser gulnat och trist ut. Det här visste jag egentligen, men sådant är ändå svårt att förbereda sig på. När jag såg Paul Klees akvarell Angelus Novus från 1920 i verkligheten för första gången fick jag den där känslan man kan få inför något som man hört så mycket om.Att jaha, är det inte mer än så här?För det handlar om en bild som lite indirekt blivit, som man säger, ikonisk. Inte för hur den ser ut eller är gjord, utan för att filosofen och kritikern Walter Benjamin, som hade fått målningen av vännen Klee, utgick från den när han, i slutet av 30-talet, skrev det som skulle bli en av hans sista och mest kända texter. Nämligen den om historiens ängel, den som med utbredda vingar färdas med ryggen mot framtiden och med stirrande ögon och gapande mun ser ruinerna torna upp sig vid sina fötter, driven av historiens storm som blåser från paradiset.”Det är det här som vi kallar framsteg”, skriver Benjamin melankoliskt.Det är en av de i olika kultursammanhang mest citerade texterna de senaste decennierna. Ruiner, storm, blindhet inför framtiden. Där vi uppfattar en kedja händelser ser ängeln bara en enda stor katastrof.Andy Warhols Marilynbilder får ursäkta, men Paul Klees gåtfulla Angelus Novus framstår lite som postmodernismens Mona Lisa. En sorgesång över en sönderfallande, fragmenterad värld.Men vilka är de, änglarna i kultur- och religionshistorien? Enklast är väl att beskriva dem som ett slags gränsfigurer, som kan röra sig mellan olika världar och är lika hemma, eller främmande, i båda.Ordet ängel kommer från grekiskan via latinet, och betydde från början just budbärare. Gestalten som sådan finns i alla de monoteistiska religionerna, och en teori är att änglarna uppstår när de äldre religionerna, med ett otal gudar som alla har sina särskilda egenskaper och intressesfärer, ska förvandlas till en berättelse där det finns en enda Gud. Det blir ett antal degraderade figurer över och de får bli den nye, ensamme gudens medhjälpare.Och visst kan man se något änglalikt hos Hermes, budbäraren med sina bevingade skor i den grekiska mytologin? Hos Hermes finns också drag av tvetydigheten hos änglarna. Dessa var nämligen, åtminstone tidigare, inte nödvändigtvis entydigt goda. De beskrivs också ofta som mycket vackra, med androgyna drag. En undflyende, svårfångad och särskilt i äldre tider ofta skrämmande gestalt. En mellanfigur.I Bibeln finns de med hela vägen, från början till slut. Det är änglar som meddelar Guds vilja till Abram i Första mosebok, det är änglar som blåser i basunerna och slåss mot monster i Johannes uppenbarelser. I Krönikeboken skickar Gud en ängel för att sprida död och förintelse i Jerusalem, och i Matteusevangeliet skakar vakterna av skräck när ängeln kommer ner från himlen till Jesu grav.Änglar är inte att lita på.Men de blir mindre skräckinjagande med tiden. Renässansmålaren Rafael blev den som satte den fortfarande allmänna bilden av hur en ängel ser ut, med lockigt hår och rar uppsyn. De som är förebilden för de bokmärken som flickor i alla åldrar samlade på förr.Men en del konstnärer har sett mer dramatisk potential i dessa varelser, inte minst under åren runt 1900 då symbolismen stod på topp. Schweizaren Carlos Schwabes Der Totengräber und der Totesengel glömmer man inte om man sett den. Där sitter en stram, svartklädd, mörkhårig gestalt på huk vid kanten av en grav. Hennes smala spetsiga vinguddar bildar en gripklo ner mot den arme kyrkogårdsarbetaren som släppt spaden i skräck för dödsängeln. Det är hans tur nu.En helt annan stämning finns i Hugo Simbergs Sårad ängel från samma tid, den som röstats till Finlands nationalmålning. Två mörkklädda bondpojkar bär en bår där en vitklädd blond ängel sitter med nedböjt huvud. En vinge är blodfläckad, ögonen förbundna och hon håller en bukett snödroppar i handen.Det är en gripande bild, mystisk men ändå saklig. Pojkarna ser lite trumpna ut men verkar inte tycka det är något konstigt att bära runt på en ängel. Hur har denna ljusgestalt hamnat på en kärv finsk äng? Varför är den sårad? Hur kan en förmedlare mellan världar bli så ömklig?Men det är inte bara i bildkonsten vi hittar änglar. De finns på film också.I Wim Wenders Himmel över Berlin från 1987 finns en scen där Peter Falk, känd som den rufsige tv-deckaren Columbo, står vid en ensam kaffevagn. ”Jag kan inte se dig, men jag vet att du är här”, säger han. Han ser inte Bruno Ganz ängel som står intill honom, för änglarna är osynliga för vuxna människor, men en listig gammal kommissarie kan förstås ana deras närvaro. Särskilt som han själv varit ängel, visar de sig. En som lämnat evigheten och valt att bli dödlig, precis som Ganz ängel fundera på att göra.Peter Falk uppmuntrar honom, berättar hur skönt det är att värma sig genom att gnugga händerna mot varandra, dricka kaffe, kanske ta en cigarett.Bara två år efter filmens premiär skulle Berlinmuren falla men här är det den delade staden vi ser, med idel ödetomter och ruiner. Det är som att var och varannan scen är genomsyrad av Walter Benjamins text om historiens pågående sönderfall. Människorna, vars funderingar vi får höra när filmens änglar stannar till hos dem och kanske lägger en hand på någons axel, verkar inte ha mycket att glädjas åt heller.Från skrämmande budbärare utskickad av en sträng Gud i Gamla testamentet, till ett grått 80-talsberlin där Gud nog är död och änglarna är sorgsna, maktlösa gestalter som inte kan förhindra att vi tar kål på världen, eller oss själva.Inte konstigt att Paul Klees ängel stirrar rakt på oss, som för att säga ”vad håller ni på med?”Eller så har den drabbats av en helt annan insikt. Bruno Ganz ängel i Himmel över Berlin säger att han vill leva nu och nu och nu, inte bara alltid i evighet. Han vill känna och älska och kanske ta en mugg kaffe en kylig morgon. Det är som med de grekiska gudarna: Man anar att de är avundsjuka på människorna och jävlas med dem för att de kan dö, och det är det enda gudarna inte kan. Änglarna befinner sig i samma belägenhet – de lever inte på riktigt, för de kan inte dö /är odödliga/. Medan vi människor lever en stund på jorden, om det så är bland ruiner.Som Bruno Ganz säger i slutet av filmen, när han blivit människa: Jag vet nu, vad ingen ängel vet.Nils Forsbergkonstkritiker

Het Europese hoofdkantoor van Lotus in Amsterdam gaat dicht. Het hoofdkantoor langs de A4 richting Schiphol werd in 2022 geopend om de Europese ambities van het sportwagenmerk, eigendom van het Chinese Geely, te onderstrepen. De verkoop van Lotus valt echter tegen. Het sluiten van het Europese hoofdkwartier in Amsterdam is dan ook een kostenbesparing. Volgens RTL Z verdwijnen er 41 banen.

企業を支援する立場から今回お話を伺ったのは、障害者雇用推進室長の木下文彦さん。企業と契約し、採用・定着・教育研修・評価まで、障害者雇用に関する幅広い支援を行っています。 木下さんがこの分野に携わるようになったのは、2020年に社内で障害者雇用部門へ異動したことがきっかけ。37年間の会社員生活の大半は営業畑で、当初は全く未知の領域でしたが、現場での経験を通じて理解を深めていかれたそうです。「障害者雇用は特殊だと思っていたが、基本的なマネジメントは健常者と変わらない」。 例えば、発達障害の方には「この議事録は今日の17時までにA4でまとめて」と具体的に指示する必要がありますが、それは新人社員への指示と同じ。結果として、障害のある人が働きやすい環境づくりは、障害のない人にとっても働きやすい環境づくりにつながるのです。木下さんは制度設計にも言及しました。たとえば精神障害のある方が通院のために頻繁に休む場合、1日単位の有給休暇では対応が難しい。そこで半日休暇や時間休暇を導入すれば、子育てや介護をしている社員にとっても働きやすくなります。 つまり、障害者雇用の工夫は組織全体の働きやすさを底上げする施策になるのです。木下さんは「中小企業のための、障害者雇用推進室」というポッドキャスト番組も配信しています。毎週木曜日に15分程度の内容で、雇用方針から社内理解、採用、定着、教育研修まで幅広く扱い、すでに100回を超えました。 「10回くらいなら誰でもできる。でも100回となると“専門家”として認識される」と語る木下さん。実際に会合で「いつも聴いています」と声をかけられることも増えたそうです。収録は月1回、インタビュアーとともに4本まとめ撮り。テーマが尽きないようにレジュメを作り、調べながら準備することでセミナー資料としても活用できています。さらに、こえラボのサポートにより収録から編集・配信まで任せられるため、「もし自力だったら10回で挫折していた」と笑います。木下さんが強調していたのは、障害者雇用は“法定雇用率のため”ではなく、組織全体の働きやすさを高め、結果的に企業力を強くする取り組みだということ。多様な人材が安心して力を発揮できる環境は、採用力や定着率の向上にもつながります。ポッドキャストからも伝わる木下さんの熱意と実践知は、多くの経営者にとって大きな学びになるはずです。 『中小企業のための、障害者雇用推進室』https://open.spotify.com/show/6vXykYbpC5bP50o41I80Bsこのように、私の考えていることや、ポッドキャストにかかわることを定期的に配信しているメルマガがあります。 イベント情報、お得な特典などもお知らせしているので、よかったら登録してみてください♪https://koelab.biz/p/r/oMAdA7S5 お問い合わせはこちらhttps://koelab.biz/p/r/BZuYcZ52実感した“特別ではない”マネジメント制度改善が全体の働きやすさを高める情報発信と広がる信頼継続できた理由障害者雇用は組織力を高める道おすすめポッドキャストこえラボメルマガ

“I used to say, ‘I sure hope things will change, ' then I learned that the only way things are going to change for me is when I change." That's a quote from the wonderful Jim Rohn. A strong proponent of developing a plan for your life, and a part of that is creating a strong plan for the new year.  In this special episode, I'll walk you through the steps for the Annual Planning Season, which began on October 1st.  You can subscribe to this podcast on:  Podbean | Apple Podcasts | Stitcher | Spotify | TUNEIN   Links: Email Me | Twitter | Facebook | Website | Linkedin Join the Time And Life Mastery Programme here.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show.  A mistake I used to make was to come up with some ideas about what I would like to change in the new year in that gap between Christmas and the New Year.  The only reason I ever did that was because my friends were asking, “What are your New Year's resolutions?” I never really had any, so I used to quickly think up some cool-sounding ideas and say that was what I was going to do.  And yet, it wasn't always like that.  When I was a competitive athlete in my teens, each year in December, I would sit down with my coach and plan what we would achieve the following year.  What times we were going for and which races were to be the “big ones”.  I still remember the year I broke 2 minutes for the 800 metres and 4 minutes for the 1,500 metres. We knew I was close, having ended the previous year at 2 minutes 3 seconds for the 800 and 4 minutes 6 seconds for the 1,500.  All that was needed was a good, strong winter and pre-season training. I remember going into 1986 in one of the most positive frames of mind ever.  Then, when I stopped running competitively—one of my biggest regrets—I stopped planning the year. And that coincided with my not achieving very much.  I drifted from one job to another. Had no idea what I wanted to do, and I remember feeling unfulfilled and lost.  Fortunately, I rediscovered annual planning. The sitting down and thinking about what I wanted to accomplish. It was that restart that resulted in me coming to Korea, and discovering my passion—teaching.  Everything I have achieved over the last 23 years can be traced back to following my annual planning method.  From finding a career I loved, to getting married and moving to the East Coast of Korea—one of the most beautiful places in the world—and starting the company I run today, now employing four people.  All of these ideas began with the annual planning method. So, what is the annual planning method? Well, it's five simple questions you ask yourself and give some thought to over two months—October and November.  Those five questions are: What would you like to change about yourself? What would you like to change about your lifestyle? What would you like to change about the way you work? What could you do to challenge yourself? What goals would you like to achieve?  Let me explain the kind of things you can think about. What would you like to change about yourself? This is about you. Your current habits and routines. Are these delivering the results you want?  When I sat down to write Your Time, Your Way, I knew I had to sacrifice some exercise time in order to write. I was okay with that, and I also knew a consequence of reducing my exercise time would be a gain in weight. Two years later, I had gained eight kilograms (about 17 ½ pounds)! Not good. If my weight exceeds 83 kilograms, I feel sluggish and quickly become tired.  So, in my planning last year, I made it a non-negotiable to get my weight back to my regular weight of 80 kilograms (about 176 pounds or 12 ½ stone)  Today, as I write this, my weight is 80.5 kgs. Well within my weight window.  That all started with asking myself, “What do I want to change about myself?” The answer was to get back into my regular exercise routine.  So, what would you like to change about yourself? Are you doing things that are not contributing to the results you want? Are you not consistently planning your days or weeks?  Are you not moving enough? Are you spending too much time sitting down in front of a screen and not enough time in nature?  Another one is how you dress. The pandemic saw a collapse in the way people dressed. This may not interest you, but perhaps you'd like to dress better when you go out. What could you do to improve your dress sense?  Maybe you'd like to begin journaling or meditation. Write anything you consider down. You're not committing to anything yet; you're brainstorming ideas. The commitments you make come in December. October and November are all about developing ideas and going deep.  The next question, “What do I want to change about my lifestyle?” Is about how you live your life every day. Is your house a mess? Do you leave your bed unmade when you get up in the morning? What about your car? Is it a garbage can on wheels?  Perhaps you'd like to come home to a clean home at the end of the day? If so, what could you do to change things? One idea that my wife and I had at the end of 2019 was to move to the East Coast of Korea. To do that, we knew we'd have to finally get a car. Living in Seoul, the capital city, with its superb public transport system, meant that having a car was not a high priority for us.  Yet, for us to get out of Seoul and live in a cleaner, quieter city, we needed to explore Korea. So, that became the plan: to buy a car and begin exploring possible places to live.  By the end of 2020, we had a car and moved to the East Coast.  That change brought some tremendously positive changes in our lives.  Yet, I know that had we not sat down to talk about our future plans, we'd still be living in a crowded, noisy, polluted city. Seoul is a great city, don't get me wrong, but with 11 million people sharing it, you can imagine how noisy and crowded it can be.  Is there anything you've always wanted to do relating to your lifestyle that you've never considered what you need to do to make happen? Write that down.  What would you like to change about the way you work? A great question if you've found yourself stuck in a job or career that leaves you feeling dead inside.  Some people I know have decided to completely change their careers when answering this question, while others have started their own businesses.  It doesn't have to be as dramatic as that, though. Perhaps you don't like the structure you have in place to do your work. It could be a tools thing, too. Do you need to upgrade the way you manage your tasks and projects? What about your workspace? Does it need an overhaul? I've done that a few times. Does your current workspace feel sterile and cold? Could you change your desk or your chair?  If you work from home, can you do anything to make your workspace more stimulating? Perhaps move your desk nearer a window or change the lighting?  All these ideas can lead to some fantastic changes. However, you do need time to think things through, and that's what October and November are for.  The fourth question is What can you do to challenge yourself? This question is there because often we get stuck in our comfort zones. We become afraid to change anything because we fear what those changes may bring. Yet, if you're not challenging yourself, you soon find yourself trapped in stagnation. Physical challenges are a great place to start. If you feel you've become a little too sedentary, perhaps you could challenge yourself to do a park run in March.  Or for those of you who are more ambitious, perhaps you could challenge yourself to do a triathlon or a full marathon in 2026.  What about going back to school and getting a degree? One such challenge that comes up each year on my list is to do a master's in contemporary British history. I'm sure it will be on my list this year, too.  Think of the things that frighten you. Is there anything you could do to overcome that fear?  The final question is What goals would you like to achieve in 2026?  There's a reason this is the final question. That's because after you've thought about the previous four questions, you're more likely to think about how you can measure success in the changes you want to make.  One such goal my wife and I have already added is to have a big savings goal in 2026. This will affect both our spending habits—no more fountain pen purchases for me (oh no!) We haven't settled on an amount yet, but we're thinking about it.  Perhaps you want to set the goal of getting a promotion next year or finally starting that business you've been thinking about for years.  Or it could simply be a bad habit that you want to stop. Doom scrolling, the new smoking bad habit, or going to bed earlier. What about reading books? How many would you like to read in 2026?  The purpose of these questions is to get you to think. Think about what you want out of life.  You are amazing, and there's so much you could do. Yet, you will only be able to do those incredible things if you externalise them and begin to think about how you could make them happen.  The best place to keep this list of questions is in a paper notebook. I used to do this digitally, but found I was too easily distracted when trying to write them out on my iPad or phone.  When I switched to writing these questions out in my Planning Book—an A4 notebook where I keep all my initial project plans, weekly planning sessions, and YouTube video plans—I found I thought more deeply and better.  But, if you prefer digital notes, then by all means use that.  Remember, now is not the time to make any firm commitments or even to think about how you will accomplish any of these things. Now is about idea generation.  Many of the things you write down may not be practical or realistic next year, but they may begin a chain of thought that leads you towards achieving them in future years.  That's why it's important to write your thoughts down in a place to return to next year. It's a starting block. I'm always amazed at what I accomplished when I review my previous years' notes on 1st October. And yes, occasionally disappointed that I didn't follow through with something.  The focus, though, is ultimately on 2026. What do you want to accomplish? Now, for those of you who have taken my Time And Life Mastery programme, October's a great time to retake it.  When I developed that course, my purpose was to create something you could return to each year to help stimulate ideas and remind you of what you want to do in your life.  I must confess, even though it's a course I created and wrote, I use October to go through it myself. It reminds me of my long-term vision of the life I want to live and refocuses me on my objectives.  If you haven't joined the programme yet, you can do so today. And if you use the coupon code “codingreat,” you'll get 50% off your purchase.  I'll leave the details in the show notes for you.  And there you go. That's how to plan out a fruitful, exciting year. Start now and begin thinking about what you want to change. Don't hold back either. Be as wild as you can be. You do not have to commit to anything right now. That's for December. All you are doing now is preparing the land, if you like. You can choose what to sow later.  And, one more thing… Have fun with this and talk with your partner and loved ones. I involve my wife because the lifestyle question involves both of us, and the things I want to change about myself can often be stimulated by asking her what she thinks. My wife can be brutally honest, frequently leading to some excellent changes.  Thank you for listening, and it just remains for me now to wish you all a very, very productive week.

Nella serata di ieri, venerdì 12 settembre, un agente della Polizia Stradale è stato investito da un auto che ha forzato il posto di blocco dandosi poi alla fuga. Il fatto è avvenuto poco prima della mezzanotte, presso l'area di servizio Tesina lungo l'autostrada A4 a Grisignano di Zocco. Il poliziotto, ricoverato al San Bortolo di Vicenza, ha riportato traumi e fratture. Dai primi accertamenti, la vettura in questione sarebbe stata rubata, e probabilmente usata per una rapina nel Milanese.

Michelle Dwight has a notebook of what she calls weird and wonderful ideas. These ideas become convertible dresses and swimwear for curvy women. She started her brand, Aulieude, as a young designer wanting stylish, sustainable fashion. As her business has grown, she's learned to apply her creativity to her business and not just her designs. As she's grown too, she's decided what things are and are not worth compromising. In episode 121, hear how the Aulieude customer has grown up as Michelle has, how Michelle's lifestyle has played into her business decisions over the years, and why business values are extra important when you are ready to scale. As a girl, Michelle loved creating beauty from the found materials around her. Often shopping clothes to sew into something new and pattern making from intuition on her spotlight mannequin with A4 printer paper and sticky tape. She made platform shoes in woodwork, leather working, making corsetry, consistently fascinated by the construction of various mediums. Michelle would dress her sister and her friends up in her creations and emulate vogue editorial shoots with an old SLR camera and a vision. Aulieude was founded in 2017 by our then 23 year old Designer, Michelle Dwight, making dresses from her bedroom. After studying at Sydney's Fashion Design Studio and working in the Fast fashion industry, Michelle grew tired of flimsy garments and wanted to craft quality fits that would be loved over a lifetime. Passionate about sustainability, she set out to create conscious clothing that didn't compromise on style. In lieu of (‘Au Lieu De') shapeless eco fashion on the market, Michelle took pride in carefully constructing flattering feminine silhouettes that celebrated a woman's curves – designing adjustable and multiway pieces that tailor to the wearer's unique shape and style. Gaining a loyal following in the Market stalls of Sydney and Melbourne, Aulieude transitioned to selling exclusively online. They have since proudly expanded their size range, introduced original prints and formal wear as well as their most recent category, Swim! Every Aulieude garment is pattern made by hand in Michelle's Melbourne Studio by the designer herself. Aulieude samples are made for Michelle's curvy body and she fits each creation on models of various sizes to make sure that the quality and fit of the pieces are absolutely perfect for you. Michelle, now 32, is continually inspired by the wonderful community of women Aulieude has garnered. Strong, caring women who own their femininity and deserve to be supported and empowered. Engaging with and serving this community brings so much joy and fulfilment that continues to inspire the collections to come. This episode explores: Fitting the customer Who Michelle designs for What Michelle learned about her customers at markets The new “risky” category that Aulieude recently added Why Alieude changed how its pieces are sized Fitting the lifestyle How much Michelle saved up to start Aulieude and fund her first production run  The big mistake Michelle made when she attended her first market How Michelle's lifestyle has played into her business decisions The reason Michelle didn't want to be the face of Aulieude initially and what changed her mind How Michelle has grown as her business has Fitting the values Why values are super important when you are ready to scale your business An aspect of sustainability that many fashion founders overlook Why Michelle travels to visit her factory (it is NOT to check in on production) People and resources mentioned in this episode: Aulieude website Aulieude Instagram Aulieude email Do you want fashion business tips and resources like this sent straight to your inbox?

“Word-processing is a normative, standardised tool. Obviously, you can change the page layout and switch fonts, but you cannot invent a form not foreseen by the software. Paper allows much greater graphic freedom: you can write on either side, keep to set margins or not, superimpose lines or distort them. There is nothing to make you follow a set pattern. It has three dimensions too, so it can be folded, cut out, stapled or glued.” That's a quote from Claire Bustarret, a specialist on codex manuscripts at the Maurice Halbwachs research centre in Paris. And is the start of my attempt to explain why you don't want to be abandoning the humble pen and paper just yet.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show. I recently came across a short video from Shawn Blanc of the Sweet Setup website who argued that paper-based planners enable better focus and less distractions that their digital counterparts.  And in my now ten-month experiment with the Franklin Planner I also have discovered that planning on paper gives me greater insights about what is important and what is not, it has allowed me to reduce my to-do list dramatically and improved my ability to think at the next level—the level that really matters if you want to go beyond just the rudimentary basics and create something special.  This week's question is about my “experiment” and what I did it and what I learned. So, without further ado, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question. This week's question comes from Phil. Phil asks, hi Carl, I'm curious about your Franklin Planner experiment. Why did you do it and what have you learned from the experience?  Hi Phil, thank you for your question.  Before I begin, I should give you some background.  My planner journey began on my 18th birthday when my uncle and auntie bought me a black leather Filofax. These were all the rage in the mid to late 1980s. They were a symbol of what we called in the UK the “YUPPIE generation”  A YUPPIE was a young urban professional or young upwardly mobile professional. It was a term used to describe a young, well-educated, and affluent person who worked in a city. It was often associated with a particular lifestyle and consumption patterns.  Filofaxes had a diary—usually a week to view—, an addresses area, and other planning pages such as a goals and notes area and an expenses tracker.  I loved that Filofax. And I remember carrying it around with me everywhere. I was living the YUPPIE lifestyle without having the job, type of car or luxury apartment associated with them. I was pretending hahaha. A few years later, while working in car sales, I was introduced to the Franklin Planner. I think it was around 1992 or 1993, by my general manager, Andrew.  That changed everything for me. No longer was I just carrying around information—really what a Filofax did in those days—and I had a tool that enabled me to establish what was important to me (my “governing values”) and a way to plan the day, and week.  I used that Franklin Planner for fourteen years. It went everywhere with me. I'd take it on holiday with me and often find myself sat on the hotel's balcony late at night writing out how I felt my life was going and what I wanted to change.  It was a tool that kept me accountable to my goals and values and really did change my life for the better.  Then came what I call the digital explosion in 2009. That's when I got my first iPhone and that coincided with my first reading of David Allen's Getting Things Done.  I stopped using the Franklin Planner and began a transition to digital tools.  It was an exciting time and my whole time management system began to change. Often for the better, sometimes for the worse. Yet, on the whole I enjoyed the evolution.  That's the background.  So, why did I decide to go back to using a Franklin Planner.  Well, I had begun to notice that I felt I was rushing everything. Sure, some things needed to be done quickly, but the majority of my work didn't need to be done right now. Those tasks in my task list could wait until another day, yet, I had this feeling I had to complete them today.  It created a sense of anxiety. A sort of low level buzz in my head telling me I should be doing work, checking off my tasks and not taking time to step back and think if what I was about to do was necessary or important.  It was unpleasant. So, I decided to go back and try a Franklin Planner for a few months to see what would happen.  It was a revelation and I was shocked.  The first thing I noticed was I slowed down. Because you have to manually write out your tasks and appointments each day, you had time to contemplate whether they really needed to be done.  With my digital system, I had things like watch this YouTube video, or read this article. Yet, these were not important at all. For some reason the digital task manager elevated their importance because they were on the list and had to be done—which, of course, they didn't. I never wrote those down in the Franklin Planner. I might have written them down in the notes area for later, but they would not be a task.  It was too easy to add stuff to a digital task manager, which meant all sorts of rubbish got added to the list. What that did was to make my task lists bigger and bigger. It got to a point where there were over 600 tasks in my task manager.  I remember looking at that realising that 80% of what was in there was either no longer relevant or would be a waste of time if I did do them.  That never happened with the Franklin Planner. The act of writing down tasks, meant you would carefully consider whether it was worth doing or not.  The result of this transition was instead of having fifteen to twenty tasks on my task list each day, in my Franklin Planner I had less then eight most days and what was there was genuinely important.  Another area that changed almost immediately was I started to think again.  Earlier last year, I had started planning out my projects, YouTube videos and weekly plans in what I called my Planning Book. This was an A4 ring-bound notebook that contained all my plans and initial thoughts about a project or video.  Suddenly, I found I was thinking things through better. When I sat down to plan out something, I was completely engaged. There were no pop-up notifications, or other digital distractions that would stop my thoughts. I could go deep, much deeper than I ever did digitally.  And the results were almost instant. My YouTube video views went from an average of 3 to 4 thousand in a week to over 10,000!  The only change I had made was to plan out my videos on paper instead of an Evernote note.  On analysis, what I noticed was I became a better storyteller—and important part of creating YouTube videos. And that resulted in almost three times more views on YouTube.  I quickly began to see that there was something going on here.  Digital tools are great. They are so convenient, and it's fantastic that you can carry around fifteen years of notes on a simple device like your phone. But, is that really helpful.  99% of my journeys and trips never required me to have to look up some important information.  And on those rare occasions when I did need to look up something, I could have easily explained to the person I was meeting that I would send the information when I got back to my office.  In fact, remembering to do that after writing it down on a piece of paper may have impressed the person I was meeting and would have given me time to think of a memorable way to convey the information.  Returning to the Franklin Planner and bringing some paper-based planning back into my life has been a revelation. It's slowed me down, while at the same time has helped me to become far more productive.  It's done that by getting me to think again.  And that's perhaps where digital tools are failing us.  Technology is all about speeding things up and making things more convenient.  Think about it, the introduction of elevators and escalators has coincided with people becoming less fit and healthy. The convenience of delivery food has created a generation of people who wake up, sit down at a desk all day, then order food and continue to sit while they eat highly processed foods that are slowly killing them.  Walking up stairs and cooking your own food ensures you are moving and likely eating a lot healthier. It also means you more likely to eat with your family and as a consequence maintain that all important communication with the people you love.  Technology has massively increased the speed at which things can be done. And in some areas that's helpful. But, and this is a big but, your brains ability to process all that information has not speeded up.  This means, if you want to feel fulfilled and be more productive, you should become better at filtering out the noise and focus on the things that are genuinely important.  Digital tools make that difficult with their emphasis on speed and monotonous lists.  Paper-based tools enable your brain to slow down, work at a healthy pace and to think deeper. A consequence of which means you think better, make better decisions about what to work on and feel less stressed and overwhelmed.  Will I go back to an all-digital system? No.  I've found a happy balance. My Franklin Planner allows me to make better choices about what I should work on today. My Planning Book gives me a space to think about what I am trying to do and to brainstorm better ways of doing the work.  However, I do see a space for digital tools.  I always scan in my plans to a digital project note. The output of my work is digital. Blog-posts, YouTube videos, online courses and even my coaching programmes are all done digitally. (I use Zoom to talk with my clients who are based all over the world)  I also use Todoist to keep track of the recurring stuff I would likely forget to do. Reminders to water the office plant (every four days), to do my expenses, respond to my actionable emails and to send out regularly recurring invoices are all managed in Todoist.  The conclusion I have come to from this experiment is that the perfect system is a hybrid of digital and analogue tools. Your calendar works best digitally, yet on a daily basis, slowing down and writing out what you will do that day works better in an analogue form. It stops you from overwhelming yourself.  Thank you, Phil, for your question. And thank you to you for listening. It just remains for me to wish you all a very very productive week.

Efter årtiers stramninger åbner Danmark nu portene for udenlandsk arbejdskraft. Vi mangler akut hænder til sygehuse, byggepladser og plejehjem. Men kritikere frygter, at vi begår fortidens fejl: At vi åbner døren for nødvendige hænder, men også for sociale problemer. I dag spørger Genstart, om det er muligt at relancere gæstearbejderen som koncept. Med direktør for A4 medier, Kristian Madsen. Vært: Anna Ingrisch. Program publiceret i DR Lyd d. 7. juli 2025.

Kjellemann vokste opp på 60-tallet i Fyllingsdalen  i Bergen i et hjem preget av vold og kriminalitet, og var bare 16 år da han havnet i fengsel for første gang.Han skjønte tidlig at A4-livet ikke var noe for han og valgte bevisst et liv i kriminalitet fyllt av vold og rus. Nå skriver han bok om sitt eventyrlige liv på kant med loven.

Maskineriet i den danske model stopper aldrig helt med at kværne, men fagpolitikere, arbejdsgiverdirektører, tillidsfolk og grå eminencer er så småt på vej på sommerferie.Men først tager vi en fag- og arbejdsmarkedspolitisk statusopgørelse - i selskab med A4's chefredaktør Kristian Madsen. Hvad har været de største overraskelser i 2025 indtil videre? Hvilke dramaer kan vi se frem til på den anden side af sommerferien?Gæst: Kristian Madsen, direktør og chefredaktør på A4Værter: Kristoffer Nordskov & Gitte RedderProducer: Eno KroghLydklip: TV2, FH

Did Jeep accidentally build one of the best hot hatches of the last 40 years? It's is smaller than a Mk8 GTI and could be had with a bulletproof 4.0L inline-six and 5-speed transmission. Can it possibly give the quintessential VW hot-hatch a run for its money? We'll talk Jeep XJ Cherokee, its origins, and all 8 generations of GTI – from the 16v 2.0L, to the 8v 2-point-slow, the soulless 1.8T, the venerable VR6, and the electric e-Golf! === This episode is sponsored by Vyper Industrial — America's #1 rated shop chair, tool carts, and creepers, proudly made here in the US. Visit vyperindustrial.com and use code CARMUDGEON for $50 off. === Welcome to the hot hatch episode! We'll touch on some real oddballs in this one – like the Dodge Omni GLHS, Suzuki Swift, Chevrolet Sprint, and Mitsubishi Mirage. Plus some allegedly fabulous but forbidden fruit: the Peugeot 205 GTi Rally and Renault Clio Williams. Then we'll dive into the Jeep XJ Cherokee which Jason just did a Revelations episode on. It began as the unibody successor to the giant and inefficient Jeep Wagoneer – a honking SUV with CJ Wrangler guts inside – which, incidentally, was a recipe being emulating across the globe as Toyota and Land Rover (to name a few) were also building more comfortable and luxurious SUVs using drivetrain bits from their more serious off-roaders like the BJ/FJ and Series II/III. The Cherokee followed the Range Rover away from the body-on-frame chassis and adopted unitary construction methods resulting in genuine handling prowess – even out-gripping a W201 Mercedes-Benz 190E. In fact, the chassis bones are so good you can find XJs competing amongst much sportier cars in 24 Hours of Lemons races across the country. Jason even deems the XJ one of his best back road drives ever. Sadly, early cars were excruciatingly slow thanks to an anemic Renault-built AMC engine. But that didn't stop Jason from getting one of his very first speeding tickets in one. The little XJ made a lasting impression on nearly everyone who had the pleasure of experiencing one – including Derek, whose experiences in his mom's are literally his earliest datable memories. The little Jeep was so popular that when the Grand Cherokee came along to replace it, so many people were still clamoring for the original Cherokee that Jeep decided they would just build both. After the Jeep, we jump into VW's perennial hatchback hit: the GTI. All 8 generations have their pros and cons: Jason proclaims the VR6 to be one of the best sounding engines ever produced, and the 1.8T the worst VW ever made. The MQB platform underpinning the latest cars is declared spectacular. The Mk4 is a chubby baby Audi/Mercedes. The Mk6 fixes a lot of the hamster-styling of the Mk5, but the Mk5 has the better steering, just beware understeer. The Mk7 is a delight, especially if you can find yourself a Rabbit or Sport edition in Great Falls Green or Cornflower Blue. But even with a fancy color scheme, the humble e-Golf makes the better city car. Of note: Derek finally goes large-barging with a crew made up of a 560SEC, F-Type SVR, F-Pace SVR, a pair of R129s (one dogleg), and A4 2.8 Avant 5-speed, with his Mk5 GTI track car as a palette cleanser. Lastly, Jim Carrey, Mike Myers and Leslie Nielsen are national treasures, and their comedy blockbusters from the 80s, 90s and 2000s are exquisite. But do they hold up as well today as a Jeep XJ?

On a warm afternoon in May 2011, I was walking down Tottenham Court Road in London. I had passed through the wide, open grassy squares of Bloomsbury and Holborn, filled with corporate people enjoying the late spring sun. Now, I was surrounded by the streets of fried chicken joints and tourist souvenir shops packed with people as I headed to catch a double-decker bus home.At 16 years old, navigating London was nothing new to me. I had been taking the bus home from school since I was about 12. Still, this afternoon was slightly different. I was feeling curious, inspired, and contemplative. My school had just taken us out on a Maths conference field day. As I passed cars, lorries, and buses stuck in traffic, my mind zoomed, imagining all the possibilities of what I might study at university and beyond.I was mid-bustle when I saw a sign propped up on the pavement. It read, “Free Personality Tests.”A short woman approached me from the shop.“Hello!” she called out, “Would you like to take a personality test?”Much like the men selling Paddington Bears, Union Jacks, and keyrings, she seemed to be selling her wares. I almost didn't turn around because I had already passed the shop. Yet I distinctly remember thinking, as I stood a couple of steps ahead of her, that maybe I should be more open-minded! A personality test sounded intriguing. My school activities were over for the day. I had nothing else to do and nowhere else to be. I thought to myself: why not?“Sure, I'll take a personality test,” I said to her, turning around.“Amazing. Follow me,” she said, “There's plenty for you to discover.”I went with her into the narrow shop front. The space was quite small and bright, with a kind of beige old office feel to it. The hardwood wall had some kind of giant inscription written on it, and the floor was a faux marble with light brown-green speckles. There was a staircase with a glass, silver-handled railing. She took me down a short corridor, passed rows of books and pamphlets on shelves, into a small back room with low-walled cubicles.She showed me to the cubicle where I was going to take my personality test, and I sat down on a scratchy, cushioned office chair with a round back. There were a couple of other people in there, flipping through pages of questions on small packets of white A4 paper that had been stapled together. I would have heard the scratching of their pencils on the pages, but there was a buzz of background noise and chatter throughout the place. She soon handed me a packet of questions. I wrote my name and my date of birth at the top of the page and got to work.I didn't feel particularly scared there; I was just curious. I was still at the age where I believed that most people were well-intentioned in the world, and I would just be able to leave any place, including this stuffy office room if I felt like it. If anything, my friends and I were the ones actively breaking the law, getting ourselves into less-than-ideal situations, and running away from the police. We'd pay homeless men to buy alcohol for us from the local newsagents. We'd bribe the guy at the corner shop to sell us cheap Egyptian cigarettes. Even if one of us was caught smoking a splif (a rolled mixture of weed and tobacco) in the park, we usually found a way to speak posh with our private school accents and talk the constable out of calling our parents.I kept a steady pace through the questions, quite like the multiple-choice verbal reasoning tests I'd had to take for my entrance exams into secondary school. It had probably 30 pages of questions.Did I get angry sometimes? How often did I feel misunderstood? Did random coincidences happen sometimes that I couldn't explain? Did I ever talk about someone, and then they'd appear later that same day? Did I ever feel very excited but also very bored? Yes. No. Very often. Often. Sometimes. Rarely. Never. Strongly Agree. Agree. Neutral. Disagree. Strongly Disagree.Gosh, that questionnaire was long. After at least about 20 minutes, I really hoped the personality test would be over soon. I was desperate to get the results. Was I a particularly angry person, with unacceptable levels of rage, getting angrier more than most? I thought about leaving the stuffy office, but now I had put so much into the first 25 pages of this thing that my time was such a sunk cost. Couldn't someone just tell me what type of personality I had?When I finally finished the questionnaire, the woman instructed me,“Now, you're going to watch this video where you can learn about the different personality types as we assess your results. You'll know soon.”Thank god, I thought to myself. This better be good.She led me down the staircase with the glass railing into another smaller, slightly darker, stuffy office room. She sat me down in a similar low cubicle. There were a couple of other people in there, including a mother with her young boy, who was playing on the floor.The woman handed me a round, cheap headset with a small black muffler at each earlobe, quite like the ones we got on planes at the time. The monitor was an ugly grey color. She put the DVD into the desktop computer and started the video.I remember the video starting with bright yellow, gold, and orange sunsets and a man and a woman in hiking gear sitting there with their heads in their hands or running in slow motion up a hill.“Do you get angry sometimes? Do you often feel misunderstood by the people around you, even your closest friends and family? Do random coincidences happen sometimes that you can't explain? All this depends on your personality, and we're here to give you the tools so that you can navigate your life and thrive. Our guides are here to assist you.”I sat on my hands, praying that the whole questionnaire had been worth it. This was just starting to get good. About five minutes in, mid-video, the woman quickly came up to my cubicle and pressed stop on the video. She seemed huffed and bothered slightly.“I'm sorry,” she said, “We can't help you. We hope you have a great day—”I interjected,“But I just spent 20 minutes filling out that questionnaire. You can't tell me anything?”“No. Sorry.”Without much of an explanation, she hurried me upstairs. I noticed that most of the people upstairs had gone, possibly to a meeting or to watch videos with their guides and get the answers to their personality tests. She hurried me outside and shut the door behind me. Their white shopfront now looked sleepy and vacant.I stood there for a moment, grumbling to myself, before I continued down Tottenham Court Road to the bus stop. What they had promised sounded kind of amazing, but it had all ended up being a waste of time when I could have been outside, enjoying the late spring afternoon. I regretted going in there only to have my expectations crushed. Why hadn't she been able to give me any answers?Well, it's now 14 years later, and the hilarious thing is that the place still exists. I had entered the “Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Centre,” an active “non-profit” organization with a whopping 4.4 stars on Google Maps and 291 reviews, offering “courses and counseling to help you improve your life and reach your full potential.” Just wow.I now know, thanks to this news article, that the questionnaire I took was probably their 200-question “Oxford Capacity Analysis.” The article says, “The Scientology “personality test” is described by various Internet sources as a Scientology recruitment tool used worldwide on Scientology websites, in Scientology churches, and in public settings such as fairs and festivals. It also has been criticized by psychologists as not a bonafide personality test...Young people under age 18 are asked to have a parent or guardian sign the questionnaire.”So, there you have it. Years later, I finally know why I was instructed to leave: I was underaged and alone. In that woman's mind, once she saw my date of birth, I quickly morphed from a fresh, juicy recruit into a potential legal nightmare.I wish I could tell you that I saw it coming or that in the moment, alarm bells went off in my head, and I walked out disgusted, vowing never to return to any cult-like place. But that is far from what happened. Sure, I left that place feeling puzzled and disappointed. Yet, it was only with the benefit of hindsight that I see now how lucky I was to be a minor at the time, without one of my parents nearby to sign my waiver.The truth is that even if I considered myself smart or well-educated at the time, I only narrowly avoided joining one of the largest and most notorious cults in the world because of an even greater factor: the rule of law. Part of being shameless is accepting in a light-hearted way that even if we think we've got it all together, we can still make mistakes. We can still be wrong, very wrong. Especially as young people, sometimes we need an external force like the law to save us from ourselves. When we acknowledge our mistakes shamelessly and do not pretend that we are above other people, having this perspective on life is surprisingly freeing. We've fully come to terms with our foibles and failures, and there's not much in the way of other people that can tarnish us if we hold ourselves in high esteem. We might make a mistake, but that does not mean we are a mistake. Indeed, sometimes, making a mistake may riddle us with deep shame and embarrassment, and that's something we can work through. Then, we have other mistakes that may simply become a funny story that we can share 14 years later.Have you ever been duped? Did you ever almost join a cult? Tell us about your experience in the comments!Join us on our mission to help the world be shamelessly sexy!Love,Tash

On November 2, 2016, thirty-four-year-old so-called “Supermom” Sherri Papini went out for a run near her home in Redding, California, and disappeared without a trace. Three weeks later, on Thanksgiving Day, Sherri was discovered on the side of the road in a nearby county, where she said her captors had released her. In the days that followed, Sherri claimed she had been kidnapped by two unknown Latin American women, who physically abused her, including branding her on the shoulder with the word “Exodus.” The case garnered considerable attention from the local and national media, but when it came to details on her abductors and their motives, Sherri was surprisingly tight-lipped, giving the police and FBI little to work with. In March 2022, more than five years after her supposed abduction, the nation was shocked to learn that federal agents had arrested Papini and charged her with faking her own kidnapping. A month later, Sherri pleaded guilty to the charges and was sentenced to more than a year in prison. The news was stunning and left everyone wondering, why would a seemingly ordinary and ostensibly happy mother orchestrate such a bizarre hoax?Thank you to the Incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research and Writing support!ReferencesABC News. 2016.
