[REBROADCAST FROM November 7, 2023] In 1920, W.E.B Du Bois created the first American magazine addressing Black children. The Brownies' Book invited the era's most prolific Black creatives to submit material—poems, illustrations, songs—so that Black children could feel seen and represented (the magazine was the first to publish a Langston Hughes poem). A new collection, The New Brownies' Book: A Love Letter to Black Families, celebrates the history of the magazine alongside new material for children today. The book was created by married duo Dr. Karida L. Brown, a sociologist and Du Bois expert, and her husband, artist Charly Palmer. Brown and Palmer join us to discuss.
Clarence Birdseye was a very curious human and this lead him to owning 168 patents. To think he started as an 11 year old taxidermy teacher. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not so secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Simple is a marketing consultant, story collector and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it's us, but we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients. So here's one of those. [Armadura Metal Roof Ad] Armadura.ca Dave Young: Hey, welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast. Dave Young here. Steve Semple is here as well. And just a few seconds ago, Steve told me we're going to be talking about Birds Eye. Birds Eye, the frozen food company from my childhood. Pretty sure they've been around that long. Stephen Semple: Oh, they've been around that long, because you know, you do have gray hair and all, but they've been around that long. They were founded in 1922, Dave. Dave Young: Oh, okay. Okay, okay. Okay. So I'm going to put the pieces together, based on them being founded in 1922 and what made Birds Eye, Birds Eye. And I'm going to take a wild guess. You ready? Stephen Semple: I'm ready. Dave Young: I think they had something to do with either the invention or the popularization of frozen food. Stephen Semple: A bit of both actually. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: So well done. Well done. Dave Young: I'm just going by the time. There was no air conditioning or refrigeration to speak of before that time. Stephen Semple: Yeah. There you go. You put together the pieces nicely. Dave Young: Thanks for joining us and that's all. Stephen Semple: That's it, right? It's interesting the evolution of this company, because it was founded in 1922 by Clarence Birdseye. Dave Young: Really, that was his name? Stephen Semple: That was his name. Clarence Birdseye. Dave Young: Oh, I'm glad. Okay. Stephen Semple: And in 1929, so seven years later, Clarence sold Birds Eye to Post Consumer Brands for 23 and a half million dollars in 1929. Dave Young: 1920. Gosh, I hope he kept it through the crash. Stephen Semple: It turns out that he did. Dave Young: Oh good. Stephen Semple: He got it pre-crash and he did very well. He also stayed on with the company, stayed on with Post Consumer Brands for a salary of $50,000 a year, which was a big deal in the thirties. Right. Dave Young: 23 million in the bank and 50 grand a year. He's doing okay. Stephen Semple: And what makes him famous is he really was the inventor of the modern method of doing frozen food. And today frozen food is a $220 billion a year industry. And when he passed away at the age of 69, he had 168 patents to his name. Dave Young: 168 patents. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Yeah. Dave Young: That's a big deal. Stephen Semple: That is a big deal. Now he's also, Dave, he's our type of guy. A few years before his death, a reporter at the American Magazine asked him sort of like, "What's the secret to your success?". And he said, this is quote, "When I arrive in a strange city, I go through the local industrial plants to see how they make things. I don't care what the product is, I'm as interested in the manufacturer of chewing gum as of steel.". Dave Young: Nice. They would just let him wander into a factory and see? Stephen Semple: I guess. But what I liked is this whole idea that when he is somewhere strange, he just will always look around at things. And when Clarence Birdseye was young, he spent lots of his time trying to figure out how to make money off of the world around him. So at 10, he noticed a ton of muskrats in a nearby field, and he wrote the local zoo to see if they're i...

Opening piano music courtesy of Bellevue Presbyterian Church -- Jazzy Jerico the walls came tumbling down. How the mighty has fallen, in truth, just about everything manufactured contains some recycled content. It's part of the process, but to claim “recycled” content is more efficient is bogus. How would anyone know? FYI/tightening the money supply erodes the spending power of every American by making housing more expensive. The cost of housing is a component of the consumer price index (CPI) just like groceries & gasoline. It's no longer on our radar, but during WWII, Princess Elizabeth served her nation in the woman's army as a driver. I was privileged to have seen her on my first visit to England.It was “Remembrance Day” we arrived late to the wreath laying & were directed to Horse Guards Parade. That's the back side of The Palace at White Hall we found a place on the kerb(sic) UK spelling here. Pretty soon we heard a band approaching from our right. It was the Coldstream Guards followed by veterans of 1st British Airborne (A Bridge too Far) & a convoy of vehicles led by a Rolls Royce bearing The Sovegens Standard. HRH was sitting on our side waving & smiling at the crowd. It was a thrilling moment. Although I had a camera I didn't take a photo, I cherish the memory of the Queen coming to see Me!Closing Banjo Music courtesy of Banjo HangOut -- William Tell Overture.
A matéria “Marijuana: assassina de jovens”, foi publicada na revista American Magazine no ano de 1937. E ela começava com uma história completamente inventada: “O corpo esmagado da menina jazia espalhado na calçada um dia depois de mergulhar do quinto andar de um prédio de apartamentos em Chicago. Todos disseram que ela tinha se suicidado, mas, na verdade, foi homicídio. O assassino foi um narcótico conhecido na América como marijuana e na história como haxixe. Usado na forma de cigarros, ele é uma novidade nos Estados Unidos e é tão perigoso quanto uma cascavel.” O autor do texto era Harry Anslinger, provavelmente o homem que mais tem mérito (ou demérito) para que a maconha fosse criminalizada não só nos EUA como em praticamente o mundo todo. Tudo começa em 1920 com a Lei Seca. Durante aqueles terríveis anos onde o álcool era proibido, os estadunidenses tentaram relaxar de outro jeito: com a maconha. A planta era consumida normalmente por pessoas marginalizadas pela sociedade, como imigrantes mexicanos e árabes. De acordo com o historiador inglês Richard Davenport-Hines: “A proibição do álcool foi o estopim para o ‘boom' da maconha. Na medida em que ficou mais difícil obter bebidas alcoólicas e elas ficaram mais caras e piores, pequenos cafés que vendiam maconha começaram a proliferar”. Mas a planta era usada em dezenas de remédios como xaropes para tosse a pílulas para dormir. O efeito relaxante da cannabis era utilizado frequentemente. Mas uma coisa fez com que a proibição entrasse em jogo: o cânhamo. Quase toda a produção de papel da época usava como matéria-prima a fibra do cânhamo, retirada do caule do pé de maconha. O cânhamo também era usado para confecção de cordas, velas de barco, redes de pesca e outros produtos que exigissem um material muito resistente. Até a Ford estava trabalhando para a criação de combustíveis e plásticos feitos a partir do óleo da semente de maconha. Plantações de maconha rondavam os EUA e a Europa. Acontece que o Harry Anslinger era parente de Andrew Mellon, dono da gigante petrolífera Gulf Oil, com seu principal investidor a petrolífera Du Pont. A Du Pont estava usando petróleo para a criação de aditivos para combustíveis, plásticos, fibras sintéticas como o náilon e processos químicos para a fabricação de papel feito de madeira. Todos esses produtos disputavam o mercado com o cânhamo. De acordo com o escritor o escritor Jack Herer: “A Du Pont foi uma das maiores responsáveis por orquestrar a destruição da indústria do cânhamo”. Para atacar o cânhamo, atacou-se a maconha.

This week we speak to Matthew Petti of the Quincy Institute about a variety of dynamics shaping the region. What does the withdrawal from Afghanistan mean for US influence? What is the future of the Iran nuclear deal? And how have interventions from the US and regional players exacerbated tensions and chaos in the Middle East and Islamic World? About Matthew Petti: Matthew Petti was a research assistant at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, reporter for Responsible Statecraft. He is a former national security reporter at the National interest and his work has appeared in several publications including the Armenian Weekly, Reason, and the American Magazine.

"Bread and Roses" poemJames Oppenheim, The American Magazine, December, 1911.面包与玫瑰， 詹姆斯·奥本海默As we go marching, marching, in the beauty of the day, 当我们前进，前进，在这美好的一天，A million darkened kitchens, a thousand mill lofts gray,无数昏暗的厨房，和阴郁的工厂，Are touched with all the radiance that a sudden sun discloses,在突如其来的阳光中显露出来，沐浴在光辉之中，For the people hear us singing: Bread and Roses! Bread and Roses!人们听到我们唱着：“面包和玫瑰，面包和玫瑰！”As we go marching, marching, we battle too for men,当我们前进，前进，我们同样是为男人而战，For they are women's children, and we mother them again.因为他们是妇女的孩子，我们像母亲般照顾他们。Our lives shall not be sweated from birth until life closes;从出生到死亡，我们的生活，不应该只被劳碌的汗水浸透；Hearts starve as well as bodies; give us bread, but give us roses.心灵像身体一样受饥挨饿，我们渴望面包，也渴望玫瑰。As we go marching, marching, unnumbered women dead当我们前进，前进，无数的女人受苦，牺牲，Go crying through our singing their ancient call for bread.我们的歌声中回荡着的哭喊，是对面包的古老的渴求；Small art and love and beauty their drudging spirits knew.灵魂的漫长跋涉之旅同样需要艺术、爱和美的哪怕小小的安慰。Yes, it is bread we fight for, but we fight for roses too.是的，我们为了面包，也为了玫瑰而奋斗。As we go marching, marching, we bring the greater days,当我们前进，前进，我们带来更美好的明天。The rising of the women means the rising of the race.妇女地位的上升意味着整个人类世界的觉醒和进步。No more the drudge and idler, ten that toil where one reposes,不再有多数人受长时间苦劳的压迫，以及少数人享受闲散懒惰的特权，But a sharing of life's glories: Bread and roses, bread and roses.而是所有人共享生命的荣光：面包和玫瑰，面包和玫瑰！

Alzheimer’s is a complex disease. Although we have yet to discover a cure, we have discovered that there is not one single cause of Alzheimer's disease. For a long time, researchers thought the disease was caused by the abnormal build-up of amyloid proteins around brain cells. Now, they believe that another protein, tau, is equally responsible by forming tangles within brain cells. And there may be others as well. If this sounds confusing, join us as we speak to Tanya Lewis, associate editor for health and medicine at Scientific American, who explains - in simple terms - all of this and much, much more.

Nikola Tesla predicted long-range wireless energy transmission in 1921 (see quote below). However, he was unable to bring his vision to life before he died. Today, Greg (Zvi) Kushnir and the Emrod team are developing the world’s first long-range, high-power, wireless power transmission. It was truly inspiring to listen to Greg and his mission to change the world through this revolutionary innovation.

Last night I shared the trailer for The Secret Garden remake which just dropped. It is a visual feast for lovers of gardens everywhere. The new adaptation of the children's classic stars Colin Firth and Julie Walters and is set for release in April (2020). It looks fantastic. The Secret Garden is a children's novel written by American author and gardener Frances Hodgson Burnett. It was first released in the early 1900's as a serial in The American Magazine. The story is about a young girl, Mary Lennox, who was living in India with her wealthy British family. She is a spoiled, neglected little 10 year old girl. When cholera kills her parents, she is sent to England to live with a widowed uncle, Archibald Craven, at his huge Yorkshire estate. Mary learns that her dead aunt had a walled garden which has been locked away 10 years, ever since her death. Determined to find it, Mary finds the key to open the garden and she discovers a lost paradise. Spending time in the garden is transformational for her; she becomes softer and kinder and more optimistic. That's why the trailer ends with this quote, "This garden; it's capable of extraordinary things. Now will you believe in the magic?" Brevities #OTD Today is the birthday of the Irish-born botanical steward of the plants collected by Lewis and Clark; the Philadelphia nurseryman, Bernard McMahon, who was born on this day in 1816. McMahon's lasting legacy was his American Gardener's Calendar. Packed with monthly directions and information about all things gardening, McMahon's Calendar was the most popular and most comprehensive gardening publication of the first half of the nineteenth century. Through his work, McMahon was helping to shape the gardening identity of America; which was becoming more distinct and defined as it transitioned away from English traditions. The Calendar was like a gardening bible to Thomas Jefferson and it was that connection that led McMahon to become his gardening mentor. It also meant that when it came time for Jefferson to pick a curator for the Lewis and Clark expedition, McMahan was his pick. Lewis and Clark are forever remembered for their famous expedition which led to many botanical discoveries. The live plants and the seeds they had collected were expertly curated by McMahon who didn't dither; especially with the seeds. Once the specimens were in his hands, he immediately set about cultivating them. There were constraints placed on McMahon. As the sole nurseryman fortunate enough to steward the collection, he could not propagate the plants for profit (they were the property of the United States Government) and he could not tell anyone about the collection (at least not until Lewis and Clark had a chance to write about it). In honor of his work, the botanist Thomas Nuttal named the genus Mahonia for McMahon. Mahonia is an evergreen shrub, also known as Oregon holly. The low-growing shrub can be kept tidy with pruning and looks like a holly, although it belongs to the barberry family. The Mahonia produces yellow flowers followed by clusters of bluish-green berries that turn red in the fall. The red berries attract birds and gardeners love that it is a favorite of cardinals. Mahonia has a glossy, dark green foliage that turns a gorgeous bronze in autumn. #OTD Today is the anniversary of the death of the botanist and chemist John M. Darby who died on this day in 1877. In 1841, Darby wrote one of the earliest floras and he focused on the south eastern United States. His flora was practical and regional, so it's no surprise that his work became a textbook for botany in the South East. After John Torrey and Asa Gray had released their North American Flora, Darby's work was one of many regional floras that started popping up all over the United States. Sadly, Darby's work was basically dissed by Asa Gray who felt that Darby's work was amateurish. This dismissal was too hasty and ignored the rigorous botanizing performed by Darby throughout the South East and his obvious grasp of the distribution of plants throughout the South. Darby taught at Auburn University; at the time it was known as the East Alabama Male College. Darby was the "Julia Ann Hamiter" Professor of Natural Science. Darby taught there until 1861, when the college closed due to the Civil War. It reopened again in 1866 and Darby resumed teaching botany. #OTD Today is the birthday of the Panama Orchid Hunter and son of Lincoln, Nebraska, Abel Aken Hunter, who was born on this day in 1877. In a biography of his older brother, it was mentioned that all the kids in the Hunter family were, "born naturalists, for they knew all the birds and many of the plants and insects around Lincoln, [Nebraska]." When Hunter was just 15 years old, he was appointed to the United States Postal Service. It was a career choice that would supplement his collecting efforts all through his life. Hunter was like many Plant Collectors; he worked his regular job with the post office for almost 30 years while pursuing his passion for botany on the side. Hunter attended the University of Nebraska to study botany. Hunter was appointed botanical collector for the University of Nebraska in 1899. In 1905, when Hunter was promoted to mail clerk, he was making $58 a month. Eighteen months later, Hunter transferred to the post office in Gorgona in the Canal Zone in Panama. The move was an excellent one for Hunter; his pay jumped to $1,250 a month and he was smack dab in the middle of a botanical paradise. 1910 brought a fateful friend to Hunter. The amateur horticulturist Charles Powell was a nurse and he had been transferred to Gorgona. Although he was two decades older than Hunter, the two got on famously. They shared a mutual passion for fishing. Early on in their friendship, while they were fishing, they spied an incredible sight. Hunter is recorded as saying, "Look, Powell–orchids! Oodles of orchids! Treefuls of orchids! Let's get some of 'em." Needless to say, that day they literally brought home a "boat-load of orchids" and the orchids made their way to collectors across the globe. A year or two later, the Canal work in Gorgona wrapped up and both Hunter and Powell transferred to Balboa. From that point on, the two men would coordinate their vacation requests so that they could go on botanizing trips together in Panama. Powell created a special relationship with the Missouri Botanical Garden after he gave them 7,000 plants. In return, Mobot established a Tropical Station in Balboa, Panama. Powell was its first director. Hunter was his successor. The Station became a jewel in the crown of remote locations owned by Mobot. By the mid 1920's, Hunter was collecting with MOBOT experts like George Harry Pring. They once traveled to a remote part of southwest Panama to hunt for orchids where Pring recalled the perilousness of their quest and the natural instincts of Hunter. He said, "To obtain varied genera and new species it is necessary to climb the 'barrancas' [steep, rocky slopes], ford streams, cut one's way through the jungle, and hunt for the coveted orchid, and it is truly a hunt. Hunter's sharp eyes detected almost everything within range." A week before Thanksgiving in 1934, the Director of Mobot sent a party of three researchers including Paul Allen down to work with Hunter; their primary mission was to find where the Sobralia powellii orchid originated. Hunter's gut told him it would be near the head waters of the river they were exploring. For three days, they made their way through rapids and a tropical rain storm. Nothing was going their way; they were ready to give up. They were standing at the edge of a natural pool of water near the crater of an ancient volcano when Allen decided to jump in for a swim. As he climbed out, Allen's journal records this fantastical moment: "Climbing out [of the pool] on the opposite side my astonished gaze was met by a plant with great milky white buds nearly ready to open. The long-sought prize, Sobralia powellii, had been found. Its native home was no longer a mystery." Allen called this area "a garden of orchids" and would not disclose the exact location. Allen and Hunter found hundreds of small orchids in this spot; incredibly many were new to even Hunter. It was a veritable orchid treasure trove. This trip was everything to Hunter. He had been diagnosed with intestinal cancer. It was his last run. When it was clear he could not go on, Allen brought him to a hospital in Panama City where he died on April 6, 1935. Allen finished the expedition alone. After his death, Hunter's wife, Mary, operated the station at Balboa for 18 months until, fittingly, Paul Allen was appointed Director. Allen went to Balboa with his new bride, Dorothy. They had been married for 10 days. As for Abel Aken Hunter, many orchids have been named in his honor, including the Coryanthes Hunteranum, or the Golden Bucket orchid. Unearthed Words “Caught in the doldrums of August we may have regretted the departing summer, having sighed over the vanished strawberries and all that they signified. Now, however, we look forward almost eagerly to winter's approach. We forget the fogs, the slush, the sore throats and the price of coal, we think only of long evenings by lamplight, of the books which we are really going to read this time, of the bright shop windows and the keen edge of the early frosts.” ― Denis Mackail, Greenery Street Today's book recommendation: Straw Bale Gardens Complete by Joel Karsten In May of 1994, Joel Karsten experimented with 50 straw bales on his childhood farm in Southwest Minnesota. He was trying to come up with a new way to grow vegetables at his new home in the Twin Cities which was on terrible clay soil. By June, he realized the plants in the bales were twice as tall as the plants growing in the soil. He kept refining his methods until his Straw Bale Gardens were discovered by a local reporter in 2007. Now, twenty-five years later, Joel Karsten is the recognized pioneer of Straw Bale Gardening, with his first book an acclaimed NY Times Best Seller and fans around the world. You can hear Joel's incredible story on the Still Growing gardening podcast. I interviewed Joel in a three-part episodes 515 - 517 and you can hear his incredible personal story and his method of growing in straw bales. And, you can hear about the amazing impact his technique has had around the globe in Episode 556. Today's featured book, Straw Bale Gardens Complete contains all of the original information from Joels first books, but it also goes much deeper, with nearly 50 pages of all-new advice and photos on subjects such as growing in a tight urban setting and making your straw bale garden completely organic. There is even information on using straw bale techniques to grow veggies in other organic media for anyone who has a hard time finding straw. If you've attempted a straw bale garden without using Joel's expertise, you really should get his book, or at least listen to those very thorough interviews we did, and give it another go. It's an incredible way to garden in the most challenging situations and in Cold Climates, you can gain extra growing time - somewhere around 6-8 weeks - in the shoulder seasons of Spring and Fall - that alone makes it worth doing. Today's Garden Chore Winterize your strawberry beds. Prune out runners that you don't want for next year. You can begin the thinning process by potting up your strawberry runners so that you can have even more strawberry plants next year to share at a plant swap, to share with friends or to add to your own garden. I just sink my pots into the ground and then I can deal with them in the spring by snipping them off the mother plant - I let them remain tethered to her throughout the winter. While you're at it, now is the perfect time to clean up the bed. It's also THE time to add a final boost of fertilizer. This time of year, I like to add a fresh layer of protective mulch around my plants to help them survive the winter. Something Sweet Reviving the little botanic spark in your heart On this day in 2005, The Boston Globe shared a little Q&A Segment written by Matt McDonald. A reader had asked, Why is there a large statue of a woman on the south bank of the Charles River in South Natick? Matt's Answer was as follows: "The 9-foot-tall statue represents Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, a Roman Catholic name for Mary, the mother of Jesus. It can be seen from a dirt pullover area on the shoulder of Route 16. But, from a distance, it's not obvious that the statue is of Mary. And its placement, on a rock outcropping overlooking the river with no structures nearby, is unusual. So, the statue has led to imaginative theories about why it's there. "I can't tell you how many call up and ask who it was that drowned," said Janice Prescott, president of the Natick Historical Society." Turns out the statue was put in place by Daniel Sargent, a grandson of the wealthy horticulturist Horatio Hollis Hunnewell. Sargent converted to Catholicism as a graduate student at Harvard. He placed the statue in the back of his beautiful property overlooking a bend in the river. "A 1938 newspaper clipping shared the Latin inscription at the [base of the statue which translates] as "May flowers bloom on this earth." Thanks for listening to the daily gardener, and remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."
Bitcoin (BTC) has a substantial liberating potential, American mainstream newspaper Time reports on Dec. 28. The aforementioned article claims that “speculation, fraud, and greed in the cryptocurrency and blockchain industry have overshadowed the real, liberating potential of Satoshi Nakamoto’s invention.” According to the article’s author, Bitcoin “can be a valuable financial tool as a censorship-resistant medium of exchange.” Alejandro Machado, a cryptocurrency researcher at the Open Money Initiative, reportedly said that the fee on a wire transfer from the United States to Venezuela can be as high as 56 percent. To circumvent such conditions, Venezuelans have reportedly turned to cryptocurrency, receiving Bitcoin from their relatives abroad. The main alternative is to wire money to Colombia, withdraw and bring cash to Venezuela, which according to the article, “can take far longer, cost more, and be far more dangerous than the Bitcoin option.” Times suggests that Bitcoin is a good way to protect oneself from fiat currency inflation. Venezuela is prime example of that, with the inflation of their native currency projected to top 1 million percent. But there are also other similar examples, like Zimbabwe, where former president Robert Mugabe “printed endless amounts of cash.” But the author points out: “His successors can’t print more Bitcoin.” Bitcoin is also, according to the article, a tool to evade mass surveillance in places like China. That being said, as Cointelegraph reported in March, according to U.S. whistleblower Edward Snowden, Bitcoin isn’t optimal for avoiding government coercion, and he believes that the world needs a better option. Times also points out the advantage given by the inability of governments to censor transactions or freeze Bitcoin wallets. In fact, Cointelegraph reported in April that WikiLeaks’ Coinbase account has been suspended due to a term of service violation. Still, nobody can prevent WikiLeaks from using cryptocurrency wallets where the organization controls the private keys. In fact, WikiLeaks is still accepting cryptocurrency donations and also added support for Snowden’s favorite crypto Zcash in August 2017. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/nolan-emmett/message
Episode 4 examines the Sexual Psychopath laws. First enacted in the late 1930s, Sexual psychopath laws were essentially diversion-like, civil confinement strategies developed to deal with sex offenders. The taboo nature of sex crimes, and the depravity often associated with them, led many to perceive that the individuals who committed these acts suffered from some form of mental abnormality. Twenty-two states enacted sexual psychopath statutes and established programs. The psychiatric programs established under these statutes are today considered a dark moment in the history of psychiatry due to their inclusion of non-violent, non-contact offenders as well as the homosexual population. The last of these laws was repealed in the early 1980s, less than a decade prior to the enactment of the first sexually violent predator law. References: Bowman, K. M., & Engle, B. (1958).

Season 1, Episode 2: Psychopathy In this episode we discuss psychopathy. You would never know given all the attention psychopathy receives that it only occurs in 1% of males in the general population. Cleckley and others have explained psychopathy as being a personality disorder defined by a constellation of characteristics occurring on the interpersonal, affective, and lifestyle levels. There is considerable confusion regarding the construct given its history and its common, if not pejorative use of the label. In this episode, we will explore its history and its relationship to a now forgotten medical condition known as moral insanity.

If your livelihood depends on your ability to be creative and generate ideas, you don’t have the luxury of wasting precious mental energy and focus on meaningless tasks, busy work, and constant interruptions. You can’t just “punch the time clock” at 5pm, you work until the job is done. And how you budget your mental energy and focus determines whether or not you’re leaving at a decent hour or chronically putting in late nights fueled by Red Bull and Chinese takeout. If you’re tired of spinning your wheels all day doing “stuff” yet you feel like you never actually accomplish anything, before searching for the next productivity app or time management hack, ask yourself these five questions first: How distracted are you during a regular workday? How accommodating are you to the “urgent” needs of others? How accommodating are you to your own “urgent” needs? Have you clearly defined WHY your next action is truly important? Are you 100% confident your next action is even the right action? I was recently chatting with a private coaching client about time management, and she shared with me that her greatest struggle is prioritizing what needs to get done during any given workday. She laid out with me no less than seven huge projects she was contemplating starting or already working on, and she felt frazzled trying to juggle all of the different tasks and goals. Being an ambitious “creative,” she had a tendency towards being distracted easily (Squirrel!!!!), and she would often procrastinate and end up getting nothing done at all. This led to guilt, self-loathing, and unfortunately even a divorce due to all of the unfulfilled promises in her relationship. Her current solution to staying focused was creating an accountability system whereby she would keep track of all the tasks she completed during the day and then email it to someone to prove that she had a productive day and didn’t waste her time. My question to her was: “Does a long list of completed tasks prove that you’ve gotten anything meaningful done during your day?” Silence. The ‘Theater of Work’ For tens of thousands of years mankind has simply lived in survival mode. There was no such thing as a “schedule,” we worked according to our needs. Food? Check. Water? Check. Shelter? Check. Then as culture became more civilized and we became farmers and specialists, it was a matter of working until the job was done. Are the fences built? Check. Animals fed? Check. Horses shod? Check. It wasn’t until the industrialization of our society in the 19th century that we began measuring “output” and working year-round for a specified number of hours per day and weeks per year. The term productivity was only first used in an economic sense starting in 1899, defined as “rate of output per unit.” Made the maximum number of widgets in forty hours per week? Check. Fast-forward to today and we’ve been conditioned to believe that we must look busy every single minute of the day in order to “appear” productive. God forbid our boss walks by and we’re smiling, laughing, or chatting with a co-worker. Or imagine the sheer horror of our boss looking for us and we’re not even in our office because we’ve taken a quick walk around the block to clear our heads and solve a creative problem (but it’s more than okay to take five smoke breaks per day?). To avoid the embarrassment or outright fear of getting reprimanded for not being “busy,” we’ve conditioned ourselves to constantly be doing something...anything...so it appears as if we’re getting things done. Looked busy while making widgets for forty (to eighty) hours per week? Check. We’ve become so consumed with measuring how much we work and how much we’re producing that we’ve lost sight of whether or not the work we’re doing needs to be done at all. We have become actors in the “theater of work.” Productivity Isn’t About Apps The 21st century solution to unknowingly getting sucked into the ‘Theater of Work’ has been technology. Because we find ourselves constantly spinning our wheels all day long and not achieving any of the larger goals we set for ourselves, we think the solution is fancy to-do list apps, calendar apps, project management apps, and complicated systems (with apps to help us use those systems). There’s no question that I love me some Trello, and I live and die by David Allen’s ‘Getting Things Done’ productivity system, but lost in all the noise about becoming more productive and maximizing output are the fundamental components of what is necessary to truly consider yourself “productive.” Omnifocus will absolutely help you get more things done during the day, but are they important things? BusyCal is an awesome schedule tool, but are you scheduling the right commitments at the right times? Trello will absolutely help you organize your life, but are you spending time organizing the right things? You can only call yourself a truly productive person if every single action you take moves you towards your much larger goals. Otherwise you’re just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. It’s Time to Be Honest With Yourself If you intend to achieve the goals you set for yourself in life, before running to the App Store and buying the top ten rated productivity apps of the day, try asking yourself these five questions first. 1. How distracted are you during a regular workday? Busy people pride themselves on being able to multitask. It looks so impressive to be able to simultaneously do creative work, answer emails, respond to text messages and tweets (and Facebook messages and Instagram and Pinterest and Snapchat….ugh I give up), and furthermore keep an “open door policy” because you always want to be available to others. But the reality is the human brain simply isn’t capable of processing more than one complex task at a time. Multitasking has been proven to diminish productivity by up to 40%. While you think you’re masterfully juggling 6 balls at once, consider for a second that you are just rapidly juggling one ball at a time and expending a tremendous amount of energy keeping up the illusion that you are “juggling”...energy that could instead be applied to your creative work instead. As Cal Newport points out in his book Deep Work, there is a cost to switching from one task to the next called “attention residue,” and it can take upwards of 20-25 minutes after a single distraction to get back into a state of creative flow. Learn more about the concept of ‘Deep Work’ in my interview with author Cal Newport Instead of going out of their way to appear busy, productive people focus intensely on a single action at a time and protect their attention. If your livelihood depends on doing intense creative work, avoiding multitasking shouldn’t be a luxury - this should be the rule. ACTION STEP: The next time you have a creative task ahead of you, whether it be film editing, writing, drawing, or even just brainstorming ideas, challenge yourself to eliminate all distractions and work in a focused time block for a minimum of 25 minutes (my default time block is 55 minutes and I generally do at least 5 per day). » Here’s a quick primer on how to set up your first productive time block 2. How accommodating are you to the “urgent” needs of others? Busy people love the word “yes.” It is their default answer whenever someone requests their time, energy, or attention. Accommodating the needs of others is the number one priority of busy people. Emails are answered in 5 minutes or less. They agree to any and all meetings, lunches, and answer all impromptu phone calls. Anything urgent is always prioritized before something important. Busy people live their lives as office firefighters always putting out the next most immediate fire. It’s easy to blame modern society, but the sense of urgency we feel pressured by all day long has nothing to do with the ability of others to reach you instantly via email, phone, social media, or otherwise. This phenomenon is basic human nature. In the American Magazine article ‘Why I Quit Being So Accommodating,’ an uncredited author explains in great detail how being so accommodating to the urgent needs of everyone around him may have anointed him a “Good Fellow” amongst his friends and family, but it ultimately cost him his happiness. By the way...this article was written in 1922. Clearly not much has changed in almost a century. “You are thirty-five years old,” I said to myself. “More than half of your life has already been spent. Who is living your life, anyway? Is it actually yours? Or is it a kind of public storehouse of odd jobs? A pile of days and hours put on the counter of the world with a sign inviting every Tom, Dick, and Harry to take one?” While the default answer for busy people is “yes,” to anything urgent the default answer for productive people is almost always “no,” unless the request is important and the clear answer is “hell yes!” Note: If you’re unaware of the difference between urgent and important, listen to my podcast with Greg McKeown to learn more about the concept of ‘Essentialism.’ A productive person is able to confidently turn down what appear to be great opportunities because they most likely have created a “decision matrix” that allows them to weigh the benefits and drawbacks of each opportunity and know almost immediately if it will allow them to achieve their most important goals. ACTION STEP: The next time someone makes an urgent request of you or presents you with what appears to be a fantastic opportunity, rather than immediately rushing to the default answer of “Absolutely!” instead try answering with, “This sounds like a great opportunity. Let me check my calendar and my current priorities and get back to you.” And when all else fails, try this: “I don’t mean to be rude, but your emergency is not MY emergency.” 3. How accommodating are you to your own “urgent” needs? Feeling like you’ve reached the end of a 12 hour day with nothing to show for it is demoralizing, and it’s easy to blame the urgent needs of others and their constant requests of your attention for your lack of productivity. But perhaps you are actually your own worst enemy. It’s extremely common to overcommit because you have underestimated how much you can accomplish in any given day, and conversely it’s equally as common to underestimate how much you can accomplish over a longer period of time and assume there’s no point in committing to bigger goals at all. “We always overestimate the change that will occur in the next two years and underestimate the change that will occur in the next ten. Don't let yourself be lulled into inaction.” - Bill Gates When faced with an overwhelming amount of stuff that needs to get done, it’s so much easier to either jump into the simple stuff first or outright procrastinate because you don’t have the energy to take on the harder stuff. The number one fallacy of using a “to-do list” to organize your life is that it’s simply a list of random tasks you’d like to complete, but in creating this list have you taken the time to ask: Which tasks should be completed first? (even if you don’t want to do them first because they’re the difficult tasks) How long will each of these tasks take? Which tasks feel “urgent” but really aren’t “important” to my goals at all? If you’ve never asked yourself any of these questions before you dive right into checking off a bunch of random tasks, then most likely you haven’t defined your “macro goal” and the “micro goals” that are necessary to lead you closer to that macro goal. Rather than crossing off a bunch of “things” on a random to-do list and feeling busy, productive people measure their output by the weighted importance of a particular task. In order to accomplish important things, they step back and assess how much time a task will take to complete and when the best time is to work on it based on the other important tasks on their list. A productive person would rather complete one important task the entire day than twenty meaningless tasks. Because accomplishing their “One Thing” will make the rest of the day’s tasks either easier or completely unnecessary. Not familiar with the concept of defining your “One Thing”? Check out my podcast with best-selling author and productivity expert Jay Papasan. ACTION STEP: The next time you jump into your to-do list, try taking fifteen minutes and organizing your to-do list as blocks of time on your calendar instead, a process I've gamified and like to call “Calendar Tetris.” Doing so forces you to think much more realistically about the time required for your tasks, and it also forces you to think about whether or not the time blocks you’ve chosen will conflict with other commitments during your day. 4. Have you clearly defined WHY your next action is truly important? As you get ready to take on your next task, if there’s a nagging voice in the back of your head asking, “So….why am I doing this again?” then you’ve already lost the war. Not knowing why you’re about to put your time and energy into any given task is what leads your mouse down the endless black hole of social media, 57 open browser tabs that you will “read eventually,” and videos of cats chasing laser lights (which yields just under 2.4 million search results, by the way). If you just spent the last 2 minutes watching this, you’re probably procrastinating because you don’t know why you should be doing the task you’re doing right now. As tasks pile up, as the urgency mounts, and as the sense of dread and overwhelm sets in that you’re simply never going to have an empty to-do list, the tendency for busy people is to kick into overdrive and power through as many tasks as possible with the end goal simply being...a shorter to-do list. Productive people are okay with the fact that life is going to be “messy” and the to-do list will never be empty. The pile of mail might stack up for a while, they might get behind on their laundry, and they might have unanswered emails or phone calls that need to be returned. All of these things are necessary casualties of accomplishing important tasks like writing a book or screenplay, building an online business, editing a film, learning a complicated skill, or painting a masterpiece. A productive person is able to avoid all of the meaningless drudgery of daily life because they have attached a deeper ‘Why’ to their actions. Letting smaller tasks and email accumulate is easy if that time is sacrificed to learn a complicated skill that will lead to a promotion, increased income, and more quality time spent in the evenings with their children because the promotion they will earn affords them a more flexible schedule. ACTION STEP: Before plowing into your to-do list simply for the end goal of making it smaller, instead ask yourself: “WHY is accomplishing my biggest goal right now important to me?” And then once you have done so...ask yourself why again. And then once you have done so...ask yourself why yet again. And then once you have gone as deep as you think you can go, ask yourself how accomplishing your greater goals will benefit the most important people in your life. If you want to dig deeper into the concept of ‘Why Stacks,’ check out my podcast with high performance coach Jeanette Goodrich. 5. Are you 100% confident your next action is the right action? The number one thing that determines your true level of productivity is the level of confidence you have when asking yourself the following question: “Is the next action I’m about to take the right action that will lead me towards my greater goals?” If your confidence level is not at 100%, you will procrastinate because you are unsure if you should be doing something at all. If your confidence level is not at 100%, you will be easily led to distraction because you don’t want to think about what else you should be doing instead. If your confidence level is not at 100%, you will eventually burnout because you are not passionate about the work you’re doing. I already know what the busy people are thinking: “I don’t have time to stop working and think about which actions are the right actions...I have too much to do!” A busy person assumes the way to maximize productivity is to be “doing” every single minute of the day. Time is something that must always be spent but never invested. It’s the same mindset as thinking, “Why would I maximize the amount of money I’m investing in retirement? I won’t have that money for decades and I have expenses today.” A productive person on the other hand understands that one hour of planning has an infinitely greater effect on their productivity than an equal hour of doing. Because that single hour allows them to strategize an entire week or more of important tasks while also creating space to take care of the busy work. Like investing in a 401k, compound interest applies to your time as well. An hour of planning can yield an additional five-fold increase in your productivity as time progresses. A productive person knows that front-loading the hard work to prioritize their time, energy, and attention will lead to absolute and complete confidence that their next action is unequivocally the right action. FINAL ACTION STEPS: Before jumping into the next 100 items on your to-do list, block out 60 minutes on your calendar, eliminate all outside distractions, and answer the above five questions about yourself with 100% honesty. This exercise is not about judgment, it’s about developing awareness of how you manage and respond to the requests and expectations of daily life. If you’re not happy with any of your answers and you’re interested in developing laser-sharp focus and taking real action towards the most important goals in your life, having complete clarity on what needs to get done, and having 100% confidence that you are doing what’s necessary, then I invite you to join the waitlist for my ‘Focus Yourself’ program so you are the first to know when beta enrollment opens (and get a steep discount).

"Pay attention to the movements in your soul." Fr. Jim Martin is an author, speaker, editor for American Magazine, contributor to the New York Times, Jesuit priest and consultant to the Vatican. SO MUCH in the marketplace is secular so I know this may feel unfamiliar. Actually, question #13 on the survey I give clients to help me prepare my presentation is this: "What topic do you not want me to speak to?" Nearly each of the 1,500+ presentations I've given I've received the same answer: Religion and politics. My friends, if we are unwilling to even whisper about religion and politics - we'll never find common ground or live our best lives. Today's episode is much less about religion and much more about discovery and how to live our best life going forward. Today, Fr. Jim will help us better understand the movements in our soul... and why it's critically important that we stop and listen to them. SHOW NOTES: Fr. Jim did not grow up in a religious household. He studied finance + took a job with GE. The first years were exciting: A yuppy with good money in New York. After a few years, he felt trapped, asking: How am I going to get out of this? He went to a psychologist to deal with the stress and also began reading the writings of Thomas Merton. After a year, the therapist asked: What would you do if you could do anything you wanted to do? Every young person should be asked this question. Answering this question is how you make the leap from being miserable into discovering a new calling. He joined the seminary and 10 years later was ordained a priest and assigned to America Magazine where he's been since. He had no clue what he was getting into and his parents and friends were a mix of horrified and upset. A year later they got it. "God works through your desires. There's a push and pull to something else." "Desiring something more fulfilling, satisfying? Pay attention to those movements in your soul. That's the call." What do I want to do with my life? That's something everyone struggles with; if we let ourselves. Allow yourself to answer that question. "The hardest part of leaving the corporate structure is the money. But its ultimately really freeing." "The most freeing and fun thing is being able to be myself." Think of times you've felt moved. Everyone has these but they aren't encouraged to reflect on them, name them as God. Holding your first child, feeling the undeniable love and not knowing where it comes from? That's God awakening His love in you. Wanting more in life. That's God calling to you. Falling in love with your spouse. That's God calling you together. Fr. Jim has written 10 books, including: Searching for God at Ground Zero Building a Bridge: How the Catholic Church and LGBT Community Can Enter into a Relationship of Respect... My Life with the Saints Becoming Who You Are: Insights on the True Self from Thomas Merton and the Saints. What do you say to people lukewarm to faith? The first step in the spiritual life for lukewarm people is the insight that the desire for God is actually God calling you. When you can at least consider that, it changes everything. It's not just a weird feeling. "That which you seek is seeking you." - Rumi Fr. Jim Martin's Live Inspired 7 1. What is the best book you’ve ever read? The 7 Story Mountain changed my life. The story of Thomas Merton, an American raised in France and the UK, who finds true meaning in a Trappist Monastery. 2. Tomorrow you discover your wealthy uncle shockingly dies at the age of 103; leaving you millions. What would you do with it? I'd turn the check right over to the Jesuits! 3. Your house is on fire, all living things and people are out. You have the opportunity to run in and grab one item. What would it be? At the day of our vows, we're giving a medal cross, we keep it our whole lives and we are buried with it. I'd get my vow cross. 4. You are sitting on a bench overlooking a gorgeous beach. You have the opportunity to have a long conversation with anyone living or dead. Who would it be? Jesus! My first question would be, what would my life have been like if I didn't join the Jesuits. And I'd want to ask what was life like in Nazareth growing up - there is not a lot mentioned about his childhood. 5. What is the best advice you’ve ever received? Don't let anyone prevent you from becoming the person you want to be. A lot of times we react to people or try to be a person that is liked. That's not the person we're meant to be. We're meant to be ourselves. Trying to be the person everybody likes, that is useless. Be yourself. 6. Looking back, what advice would you give yourself at age 20? Be yourself. Stop trying to be what other people want you to be. 7. It’s been said that all great people can have their lives summed up in one sentence. How do you want yours to read? He was a good Jesuit. *** If you enjoyed today’s episode: Subscribe (automatically get new episodes), rate & review (help spread the word!) this podcast wherever you get your podcasts.

In 1919, Ohio businessman Arthur Nash decided to run his clothing factory according to the Golden Rule and treat his workers the way he'd want to be treated himself.
