“Every morning in SEAL training, my instructors, who at the time were all Vietnam veterans, would show up in my barracks room and the first thing they'd do is inspect my bed. If you did it right, the corners would be square, the covers would be pulled tight, the pillow centred just under the headboard, and the extra blanket folded neatly at the foot of the rack. It was a simple task, mundane at best. But every morning we were required to make our bed to perfection. It seemed a little ridiculous at the time, particularly in light of the fact that we were aspiring to be real warriors. Tough, battle hardened SEALs. But the wisdom of this simple act has been proven to me many times over. If you make your bed every morning, you will have accomplished the first task of the day. It will give you a small sense of pride and it will encourage you to do another task and another, and another. And by the end of the day, that one task completed will have turned into many tasks completed. Making your bed will also reinforce the fact that the little things in life matter. If you can't do the little things right, you'll never be able to do the big things right. And if by chance you have a miserable day, you will come home to a bed that is made that you made. And a made bed gives you encouragement that tomorrow will be better.” That is an excerpt from Admiral McRaven's Commencement Address at Texas University in 2014. And it's the heart of this week's episode. Simple, mundane tasks that carry far more weight than you may think.  You can subscribe to this podcast on:  Podbean | Apple Podcasts | Stitcher | Spotify | TUNEIN Links: Email Me | Twitter | Facebook | Website | Linkedin Areas of Focus: The Foundation Of All Solid Productivity Systems.

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. If you were to read the comments on any productivity or time management YouTube video, you'll find many well-meaning commentators talking about this app, or that new method or hack to play with.  The truth is few of them will work and most involve adding more and more layers of complexity which only stops you from doing the work that matters. Real improvements in your time management and productivity comes from the boring and mundane. It's the sitting down to respond to your emails and messages every day. It's taking the laundry to the washing machine and hanging it up after it's been washed. And yes, it's making your bed each morning before you leave to take your kids to school.  Doing the simple, basic tasks each day whether you're in the mood or not, is the secret to massively improved outcomes. It means when you get home after a particularly stressful day, everything is calm, peaceful and ready for you to relax get some rest.  It's how you avoid getting home, stressed out and exhausted only to find your breakfast things are still on your dining table, your bed's unmade and your laundry basket is overflowing with clothes that are beginning to give off a rather unpleasant odour.  And, yes, it means giving yourself five to ten minutes each day to map out your day. To see where your appointments are and what tasks you must get done.  None of this is complicated. It's basic, it's almost laughably unimportant, yet it isn't. These are the critical things each day that ensure you remain on top of everything and know what needs to be done, where you should be and when and leaves you feeling calm, serene even, and ready for the next day.  And with all that said, it's time for me to hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question.  This week's question comes from Charlie. Charlie asks, hi Carl, over the last twelve months, I feel everything has spiralled out of control. I get home exhausted and just never seem able to catch up. My Task list is out of control and my calendar seems to fill up with random meetings each day. What can I do to get some control back into my life?  Hi Charlie, thank you for your question.  This is something that can happen from time to time. Things spiralling out of control. It's often because we say “yes” a little too freely, or we stop following some basic principles.  The basic principles of better time management and productivity are planning your days and week. Not in a micro-management way, but more in a what's happening tomorrow or this week way.  It's also understanding that in most cases you can cancel or reschedule a meeting. I've often looked at my diary for tomorrow and seen I was over scheduled and realised I needed to postpone some meetings or rearrange some of the things I had planned to do.  It's never the end of the world if you have to reschedule. It's just a part of life.  For example, if you're scheduled to pick your kids up from school but realise that if you do you'll not be able to finish the proposal that must go out today, you could ask your partner or parents to help you out today.  It's only today. Or, you may decide to ask to be excused from a team meeting so you can finish the proposal.  We always have options. Yet, if you want more options, plan the day the evening before and you will see any potential conflicts with plenty of time to explore all options.  If you don't plan your day, it's likely you will see the problem you have a couple of hours before you have to pick your kids up. You're not leaving yourself with much time to sort out the conflict.  It's the same reason why weekly planning is critical. The weekly planning session gives you the “big picture” view of your week. It your chance to see any potential issues well before they become crises.  This is the number one reason you will find you feel behind, rushed and overwhelmed. You're not giving yourself a moment to pause to look ahead for potential storms so you can plot an alternative route through.  To start getting back in control, do a weekly plan for next week. Open you calendar and first look for any conflicts—these are where you have inadvertently double booked yourself. You cannot be in two places at once, so pick one.  Next, open your task manager. This is probably where the bigger problems lay. When we lose control we start throwing all sorts into our tasks managers. It's easy to put stuff there.  If your sense of control has completely gone, it's possible you may have stopped looking at your task manager altogether. If that's the case, open it.  Now you have a choice. You could declare task management bankruptcy and delete everything. Don't worry, if something's genuinely important, you'll be reminded of it somewhere. You can then add it back later.  The second choice is to go through everything in your task manager one by one. Delete what's no longer relevant, update what is by making sure the task is written in an actionable way. In other words you have an actionable verb in the task so it's clear what you need to do.  Then for anything in your inbox, ask the three processing questions: What is it? What do I need to do? When will I do it.  Then, organise your tasks by stuff you will do this week, next week, next month.  Once done, go back to your this week list and, with your calendar open, put the day you will do the tasks next week.  Now be smart here. If you have six hours of meetings on Wednesday, avoid putting tasks on that day. You won't have time. Not when you remember you will need to spend some time on your email and messages and any other matters that will inevitably pop up once the week gets going.  Anything not in your this week list can be left undated. Hopefully, many of those will sort themselves out. If they don't, you can look at them again when you do you next weekly planning session and decide if they need to be brought forward into the following week.  Just doing these basic weekly planning steps, you'll instantly give yourself a sense of control.  Yet, this is only as good as your ability to say no.  You cannot be in two places at once, and you're not going to be able to complete sixty tasks and attend seven hours of meetings in one day. If that's what your day looks like stop.  You're going to have to say no to something and the sooner you do this the easier it is to do it.  The consequences of not doing these planning sessions are missed deadlines, over booked calendars and a lot of late nights and weekends spent catching up, feeling stressed and blaming your company.  The blame game solves nothing unless you're willing to say “no. This has go to stop”. If you're not willing to do that, don't complain. A bit harsh, I know, but you always have a choice remember.  More basics are giving yourself time each day for your messages and emails. I'm always surprised how unwilling people are to protect time for dealing with these. 99% of the time it's out of control email, Slack and Teams inboxes that people are most stressed about. And I know, if you don't spend sometime on your communications daily, they will backlog quickly.  And when I say quickly I mean it. One day missed will mean you will need double the time tomorrow. And that keeps increasing until you decide to spend a whole day clearing up your email.  If you want to avoid spending days clearing your email inbox, protect time every day for dealing with it. That has to be a non-negotiable.  I believe it was Einstein who said insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results.  Well unless you protect time for managing your communications each day, you'll be spending days clearing your inbox every month. Nothing will change unless you are prepared to change the way you schedule your day.  So there you go, Charlie. The important basics of getting back control and staying in control, is daily and weekly planning and protecting daily time for dealing with communications. Do that, and you'll soon find yourself regaining control.  I know it sounds simple, perhaps too simple but it goes back to what Admiral McCraven said in his commencement address, “if you want to change the world, begin by making your bed.”  Thank you for your question, Charlie, and thank you to you too for listening.  Oh, and just a quick update, this podcast will be on holiday for a couple of weeks. We'll be back in a couple of weeks.  It just remains for me to wish you all a very very productive week.

Extreme Heat: More Dangerous Than We Think?Extreme heat, one of the adverse consequences of climate change, exacerbates drought, damages agriculture, and profoundly impacts human health. Heat is the top weather-related killer in the United States, contributing to deaths that arise from heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular diseases. As temperatures are projected to increase, so will the risk of heat-related deaths. Urban heat islands, cities with large numbers of buildings, roads, and other infrastructure, are ‘islands' of hot temperatures due to the reduced natural landscape, heat-generating human-made activities, and large-scale urban configuration. More than 40 million people live in urban heat islands in the United States, with this number only increasing as people continue to move from rural to urban areas. Around 56% of the world's total population lives in cities. Those living in large cities are more vulnerable to the effects of extreme heat, with research showing an increased mortality risk of 45% compared to rural areas. The risk of heat-related exhaustion and death is a major public health concern that is exacerbated by the climate crisis. The National Weather Service is in the process of creating a new interface known as HeatRisk, which uses a five-point scale to monitor the heat-related risk for vulnerable populations based on local weather data and health indicators. By mapping heat risk, climate scientists hope that individuals will now have a better understanding of the safety concerns associated with being outside during times of extreme heat. Understanding Heat Index DynamicsBefore stepping outside, most individuals check the daily weather prediction to get a sense of the average temperature. In order to measure the perceived temperature, climate scientists use a heat index, a calculation that combines air temperature and relative humidity to create a human-perceived equivalent temperature. Accurate prediction of the heat index is imperative as every passing year marks the warmest on record, with dangerous extreme heat predicted to become commonplace across arid regions of the world. Therefore, tracking such calculations is necessary in assessing future climate risk. Areas especially vulnerable to extreme heat heavily rely on an accurate prediction of temperature to determine if it is safe to go outside.However, there are over 300 heat indexes used worldwide to calculate the threat from heat, defeating the potential universality of this metric. Each heat index weighs factors differently, making it difficult to differentiate between various metrics. Dozens of factors are used to estimate the daily temperature based on predictions of vapor pressure, height, clothing, or sunshine levels. In addition, most heat indexes report the temperature assuming that you are a young, healthy adult and are resting in the shade, not in the sun. If outdoors, the heat index could be 15 degrees higher. If you are older, you may not be as resilient during intense temperatures.As a result, many climate scientists are calling for heat indexes that reveal the apparent risk of being outdoors on any given day. The elderly, children and infants, and those suffering from chronic diseases are more vulnerable to high temperatures than healthy, young adults, which needs to be accounted for when surveying temperature risk. Advanced Heat Assessment Tools: HeatRisk and WBGTThe National Weather Service's HeatRisk index is different from previous models as it identifies unusual heat times and places, also taking into account unusually warm nights. As such, it provides a more universal measure accounting for the degree to which people in the area are acclimated to various heat temperatures. The HeatRisk index can thus be used to gauge levels of danger associated with temperature, potentially altering an individual's behavioral patterns. For those working in outdoor fields, the WetBulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) measure can be particularly useful as a way to measure heat stress as it takes into account temperature, humidity, wind speed, sun angle, and cloud coverage. Different from the heat index, the WBGT includes both temperature and humidity and is calculated for areas in the shade. If not exercising or working outdoors, people can revert to the HeatRisk scale to calculate the potential hazards of being outside for longer periods. Heat Indexes are Harder to Calculate Than They AppearBecause scientists have to account for a variety of factors like geography, physics, and physiology, establishing a truly universal heat index is unlikely. For regions like Colorado, creating the criteria for a heat advisory has proven shockingly difficult. Heat indexes typically rely on temperature and humidity, however, the Colorado landscape is so dry that an advisory is very rarely triggered, even during heat waves. In such scenarios, the HeatRisk index provides a better gauge for outdoor safety. Most people underestimate the dangers of extreme heat and often ignore warning messages from local authorities. Educational programs are vital in informing the public on the dangers of extreme heat.Who is David Romps?David Romps, UC Berkeley professor of Earth and Planetary Science, is at the forefront of heat index research. Romps has found that those exposed to extreme heat suffer restricted blood flow and are often unable to physiologically compensate. Through his research, Romps believes that heat index calculations often underestimate the potential heat impacts on individuals, with the human body being more susceptible to heightened temperatures than commonly understood. Further ReadingCenter for Climate and Energy Solutions, Heat Waves and Climate ChangeHuang, et.al, Economic valuation of temperature-related mortality attributed to urban heat islands in European cities, Nature Communications, 2023National Weather Service, What is the heat index?National Weather Service, NWS Heat Risk PrototypeNational Weather Service, WetBulb Globe TemperatureSharma, More than 40 million people in the U.S. live in urban heat islands, climate group finds, NBC News, 20232023 was the world's warmest year on record, by far, NOAA, 2024Coren, The world needs a new way to talk about heat,  The Washington Post, 2023Hawryluk and KFF Health News, A New Way to Measure Heat Risks for People, Scientific American, 2022UC Berkeley Heat Index Research, David RompsUS EPA, Climate Change Indicators: Heat-Related DeathsUS EPA, What are Heat Islands? For at transcript of this episode, please visit  https://climatebreak.org/calculating-threats-from-rising-temperatures-using-heat-indexing-with-professor-david-romps/

Feeling discontent with life? Overwhelmed? Exhausted? Less-than? There are typically three culprits to blame: clutter, comparison, and conflict. Their impact, individually or collectively, can bog you down. Luckily, you're in control. In this podcast episode, Darlene Brock and Julie Bender unpack the burden that the three Cs—clutter, comparison, and conflict—can drain our contentment with each area of our lives: our jobs, families, home, appearance, spirituality, and more. If we don't keep them in check, we'll never be satisfied. Tune in to learn practical strategies for managing the three Cs and reclaim your peace. Quote of the episode: “Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth.

The different faces of identity: Navigating sexual orientation and gender expression   Welcome back to Blended!   Today, we're talking about sexual orientation, gender identity and expression.   Discussions around these issues have been hitting the headlines more and more in recent months. And it's fair to say that many recent rulings and debates have felt like a step backward for a lot of different communities – they just want the freedom to be themselves. But there's a fundamental lack of understanding. A lot of people just don't understand what it means to have a different identity or expression. And a lack of understanding, the unfamiliar or unknown, is what often sits behind fear.   So today we're going to be opening up a conversation to encourage understanding, so we can fight that fear and create spaces that are safe and welcoming for everyone.   IN THIS EPISODE:   [01.02] Introductions to our Blended panelists.   ·       Kai – Social Scientist, President of TransFocus and speaker ·       Ross – Vice President at GLAAD Media Institute, author and speaker  ·       Kiara-Kumail – Employee at White Ribbon and actor     [04.23] The group explore sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression and the many factors around these topics, from pronouns and labels, to authenticity and fear.   ·       Sex vs gender ·       Labels ·       Evolution of labels/identities ·       Words/identities mean different things to different people ·       ‘I am' vs ‘I identify as' ·       Asking open-ended questions ·       Creating safe spaces o   What are they? o   How do we create them? o   Language o   Infrastructure o   Support/listening ·       We're more than just our identities ·       Definitions becoming reductive ·       Problems with identity becoming politicized  ·       The growth of LGBTQIA+ ·       Pronouns ·       How we introduce ourselves    ·       The nuance of curiosity and asking questions ·       Respect ·       Fear of making a mistake ·       Being open to being corrected ·       Acknowledging, and apologizing for, mistakes ·       Making assumptions ·       Internal vs external ·       Control ·       Cultural rules ·       How gender expression relates to physical safety ·       Masculinity and femininity ·       Shifting gender expression to suit different environments ·       Belonging ·       Authenticity ·       How anti-trans sentiment also harms cisgender people     “Labels will never fully be able to capture everything, though they help people identify in certain ways. Ultimately, it's not about fully understanding everything, it's about respect and being a good human being. And labels expand and mean different things to different people. The community exists beyond a monolith, we all have different opinions – there's no one easy answer unfortunately.” Kiara-Kumail   “Sexual orientation and gender identity are not just LGBTQ things, they're something we all have. We all have a way in which we know and understand ourselves, and share it out with the world.” Ross   “There's no right or wrong… But the way we can be more expansive is to say: ‘Tell me about yourself.' It's an open-ended question, and then people can feel free to share whatever they want... Sometimes people are hesitant, because they don't know whether it's safe to share.” Kai   “If someone raises an issue, that's a big deal because it takes so much energy. Most people in the research we do, do not raise issues. About 75% have issues, but don't raise them.” Kai   “Introducing yourself is a good way to do it. Because, if you're asking, be honest: Are you asking the only visibly trans person in the room, or are you asking everybody that? Sometimes inclusion can actually be exclusionary. It's good practice not to single one person out.” Kiara-Kumail   “For trans and non-binary folks, people often misread them – we look at the exterior and jump to conclusions… They're misgendered about 70% of the time, it's on a daily basis, and that's a heavy burden to bear.” Kai     [40.44] The panel share an overview of where the US currently is with gender and sexuality issues, why many feel that we've taken a step backwards, and why it's so important to continue to talk about these issues openly and without judgement.   ·       Similarity to the persecution of gay men during the AIDs crisis in the 1980s ·       Modern radicalization of boys and men ·       Manosphere ·       Danger of discriminatory echo chambers ·       Dehumanization ·       Allyship ·       Honest, open dialogue ·       Separating fact from fiction  ·       Combined vision – weaving in women's and men's issues ·       Overlapping needs/intersectionality ·       Shared benefits ·       Trying to turn negatives into positives ·       Speed of change     “We'd previously been making quite a lot of progress, especially on trans issues and rights… Now it feels like a reversal. But I think it's a pause, to allow more people to catch up… I try to understand many different perspectives and I hear time and time again: it's too fast. So, OK – let's regroup, restart the conversation, go back, and go through the basics.” Kai   [49.40] The group discuss what organizations can do to support the LGBTQIA+ community in the current political environment.   ·       Increasing millennial and Gen Z affinity with LGBTQ community ·       Millennial and Gen Z groups are customers and employees – driving expectations ·       Support grounded in values ·       Difference between what organizations say and do (social media vs real policy) ·       Need for larger systemic change, changing norms ·       Appreciation of queer culture, not just people ·       Analysis of biases ·       Providing health insurance that covers gender affirming care ·       Organizations pulling out of Pride/removing certain stock from shelves/pulling DEI programs    ·       More inclusive parental packages, i.e. IVF and adoption ·       Support for name changes ·       Areas for active leaning, e.g. Role play   ·       Intent – the importance of trying ·       The importance of listening ·       Kai's experience of working with two-spirit first nation people ·       Trans folk are not new! o   They exist in every culture, throughout time o   Different names, e.g. ‘third gender' in India o   Trans history has been erased o   Colonialism set certain parameters for gender, expression, marriage, etc. ·       Calling in experts – and paying them! ·       Context ·       Consistency ·       Self-reflection   “In the US, despite everything we've talked about, peoples affinity with the LGBTQ community has only grown – it's tripled since 2012 when Gallop started measuring… And that growth is from Gen Z and Millennials… Which means, for companies and organizations, these are your customers, these are your employees and your future leaders.” Ross “It's going to be a smaller group, but a more effective one. Because those are the ones that want to do the deep work.” Kai “People feel neutral to positive about things like Pride merchandise… the same way they think about a sports team brand. What's the difference between wearing a rainbow t-shirt or a Vikings jersey – to a lot of people, they're the same thing.”  Ross “It's about showing up, it's about listening, and getting to know. Because when you have a depth of knowing, you can start to take more tangible action in a way that's connected with people. It's relational.” Kai   [1.14.18] The panel sum up their thoughts from today's discussion.    RESOURCES AND LINKS MENTIONED: You can connect with Kiara-Kumail, Kai and Ross over on LinkedIn.

”But the fact remains, with all the changes that have happened in our lifetime—whether we're “boomers,” “Gen Xers,” “Millennials,” “Gen Zers” or whatever comes next—one thing has never changed nor will it ever change, and that is the amount of time we all have.”  That's a quote from Hyrum Smith's book, The 3 Gaps: Are You Making A Difference You can subscribe to this podcast on:  Podbean | Apple Podcasts | Stitcher | Spotify | TUNEIN Links: Email Me | Twitter | Facebook | Website | Linkedin Areas of Focus: The Foundation Of All Solid Productivity Systems.

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. One thing you may have noticed is that there are many things we have to or want to do, yet there never seems to be enough time to do them. You are not alone. Everyone feels this either all the time or at least some of the time. The reason is that it's true. There will always be more to do than time available to do it.  This means we should approach the problem from a different angle.  Traditionally, people have spent extra hours trying to catch up. Working late or even working the weekend. Yet, is throwing more time at the issue the best solution?  I don't think so.  We live one life. Our work is just one part of that life. If you work an average forty-hour week, your work only accounts for around 25% of your time. Yet, for many people, their work causes 80% or more of their stress.  This week, I want to share some ideas and a paradigm shift in how you think about the tasks you have to do and the time you have available. It's a simple shift, but one that will reframe your relationship with time and ultimately give you more time for the things you want time for.  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 Marcos. Marcos asks, Hi Carl, I struggle to keep up with all the tasks in my task manager. Most days feel like I am adding more tasks than I complete, and my inbox is now full. Todoist won't allow me to add any more. How do you cope with an ever-growing list of things to do? Hi Marcos, thank you for your question.  There could be a number of reasons for this. One of the most common ones is moving any email you need to respond to into your task manager's inbox.  You don't need to do that. Instead, you can create a folder in your email system and call it “Action This Day”. Then, any email you need to act on—reply, read, forward, etc. You place it there.  Then, add a recurring task in your task manager that tells you to “clear my Action This Day folder”.  That will remove many tasks from your task manager. It will also begin the process of changing the way you think about things to do and the time you have available to do them.  It's no longer about how many emails you must reply to; it's about when you will work on your emails.  Other things that can clog up a task manager are articles and newsletters to read, YouTube videos to watch and books to buy.  All good stuff, but since so many of these are non-urgent, you would be better putting them in a dedicated note in your notes app.  That way, when you do have time to read or watch these, you can open up your notes app and choose something.  I covered this recently in one of my YouTube videos. There is information we like to collect—articles, YouTube videos, etc., often the easiest thing to do is to add this information to your task manager's inbox. After all, reading or watching them is something to do. Yet, the worst place to collect these items is your task manager. There's no urgency to read or watch these. We can do it anytime. Perhaps we're waiting at the doctor's office, or, in my case, for my wife somewhere.  In these situations, I can open my notes app and, depending on my mood, choose between reading or watching something—my notes are always on my phone.  So, Marcos, one of the first things you can do is to remove all these non-urgent informational items from your task manager and move them to your notes app. I would add that a great place to read articles is something like Instapaper or Read. Both of these apps are designed to collect newsletters and articles.  Using tools like these gives you a central place to read your saved articles. It's like having your personalised curated news feed.  The only addition is finding a regular time to read what you collect. The problem with keeping these in your task manager is that you're not reading them. Moving them out of your task manager and into a read-later app is just shuffling things around if you are not committing to a daily reading time.  When I commuted to work each day, I read these articles on bus and train journeys. This prevented me from getting sucked into the negative news cycle and clickbait headlines.  My news feed was free of junk and algorithmically generated stuff I was no longer interested in.  And there is another tip for managing the things we have to do. Having a set time each day for doing the things we want to do.  The challenge we all face today is that everything is so convenient; we can pretty much do anything at any time. You can set up a bank account, apply for a credit card, and even buy a car online today.  You don't have to leave the comfort of your own home.  In the past, if we wanted to open a bank account or buy a new car, we would have to go to a specific place. Going to these places meant we needed to schedule time to go.  I remember when I was in car sales and couples would come in either in the evening or at weekends. During the weekday, things were relatively quiet for us. Time spent with a customer would typically be around an hour or two.  So the customer had to go to a showroom intentionally, talk to a human being and in most cases test drive a car.  Now, if you can do almost anything at any time from anywhere, the challenge becomes, what do you do now?  If you are task counting, you're putting yourself into an impossible situation. The number of tasks you have to do is not within your control.  You do not have control over what your boss or customers will ask you to do today. You don't have much control over what your partner or family members may ask you to do. You also don't know when they will ask you to do something.  By focusing on what you have to do, you're setting yourself up for overwhelm.  Instead, you will find focusing on when you will do something a much more realistic approach. Not only do you put yourself back in control, you will also be working within a realistic system.  This system is called time-based productivity, and it's been around for a very long time.  I've tracked it back to 1918 with the Ivy Lee Method. That's where you wrote down the six things you want to get done the next day, and when the day began, you started with the first item and worked your way down the list until the end of your work day.  Anything you did not get done would be moved to the list for tomorrow. It's simple and based on a realistic evaluation of how much you could get done in a day.  From there, it advanced throughout the century to when we began using things like the Franklin Planner.  Something went wrong in the early 2000s. Somewhere along the line, we stopped calculating how much time we had available to do things and began focusing on the things themselves.  Well, that's an impossible situation. You'll always have stuff to do. If you focus on all that stuff, you're going to feel anxiety, stress and overwhelm.  If you want to stop the struggle Marcos, then returning to a time-based system will do that for you.  The first step is to look at all the tasks you have to do and categorise them. You will have admin and communication tasks—we all do. Then there will be tasks related to your specific work. If you work with clients, then there will be client work to do. If you work in management, there will be management duties you will need to perform.  Once you know what your categories are, you can then allocate specific time for doing those categories of work.  Let me give you an example of this with email. Imagine you get 150 emails a day. Of those, around thirty require you to take action. When you process your email, you move those actionable emails into your action this day folder, and either delete or archive the rest.  This leaves you with thirty emails that require some action from you.  If you were to allocate an hour each day for dealing with your actionable emails, you will always have time to respond to your email. Sure, some days you may not be able to clear them all. However, if you consistently spend an hour a day on these, you will never develop a significant backlog.  Most days you will be ahead; other days you might be slightly behind. But you won't feel it's out of control.  You can also apply this to your admin tasks. Admin tasks have a habit of building up over time because they are generally low in urgency and importance.  If you were to give yourself thirty minutes or so each day for admin tasks, you would find that no backlog is building up, and you are, for the most part, on top of things.  You can do the same for your client work. If part of your responsibilities is to send out proposals to customers, then allocating some time each day for doing this means all you need to do is refer to a list of proposals to write, and for that allocated time, you do as many as you can.  That list may be in a CRM system or a simple note in your notes app. Your calendar will tell you that it's time to write proposals. You then go to your list of proposals to write, and start.  This way, you won't need to use your task manager. I do this with my coaching clients. Every day, I allocate an hour to writing feedback for each client. The list of feedback to write is in Evernote. Some days, there will be six or seven pieces of feedback to write, and other days, perhaps only two or three.  I know I can write around three pieces of feedback in an hour. This means if I do this every day, nobody is likely to be waiting more than 48 hours for their feedback.  I'm not focused on how many pieces of feedback I have to write. All I am focused on is writing the feedback in the hour I have to write it. I will write as many as I can. No pressure. Just begin with the oldest and carry on down the list.  And that, in a nutshell, is what time-based productivity is all about. It's not about how much you have to do. It's about how much time you have available to do the work you have to do.  If you have enormous backlogs now, you may need to increase the time you allocate to specific work periods for a little while. That actually helps because it means you are learning new habits and processes for getting the work done, which ultimately speeds you up over time.  So there you go, Marcos. I hope that has helped. Take a look at your task manager. Remove individual emails and stuff to read or watch.  Then in Todoist, use the labels to categorise your work and use those categories to protect time in your calendar to do the work.  Be consistent with this and you will soon find that the overwhelm and struggle diminish.  Thank you for your question and thank you to you too for listening. It just remains for me now to wish you all a very very productive week.

May retail sales look stronger than headlines show After seeing headlines from several media outlets, I was worried May retail sales were slowing to a problem point, but I would say they actually looked quite strong. Compared to April, sales did fall 0.9%, which was larger than expectations for a 0.6% decline. It's important to point out though that consumer rushed to auto dealers in April to try and beat the tariffs. This led to a 3.5% decline in motor vehicle & part dealers when comparing sales in the month of May to April. Gas stations have also seen declining sales largely due to lower gas prices and actually fell 2% when compared to the previous month. Excluding these two categories, sales would have fallen just 0.1% when compared to April. While the month over month numbers point to a slowing consumer, when we look at the annual comparisons the numbers are impressive. Headline retail sales climbed 3.3% compared to last May, but if we exclude motor vehicle & parts dealers & gas stations, sales climbed 4.6%. It was largely impacted by the 6.9% annual decline at gas stations. Areas of strength in the report included nonstore retailers, which were up 8.3%, food services & drinking places, which were up 5.3%, and furniture and home furnishing stores, which were up 8.8%. Overall, I'd say this report still shows a healthy consumer. I am still looking for the consumer to slow, but I believe people still have the ability and desire to spend in this economy, which should allow for continued growth, albeit at a slower rate.   Why are big retailers looking at issuing stable coins of their own? Stable coins seem to be the new buzzword for 2025. It seems at least once a week when I pick up the Wall Street Journal, I see something about stable coins. I recently read that Walmart and Amazon may be looking into using stable coins to get away from using traditional payment systems, which is costing billions of dollars in fees each year. This includes interchange fees that occur when customers make purchases using their credit cards. If you're not sure what a stable coin is, briefly, it is a coin that is supposed to be backed by a one-to-one exchange ratio with dollars or other government currencies. In other words, reserves of cash and dollars would have to equal the value of the stable coins that were in the market. Who would be hurt most by this? Visa and MasterCard, who collect billions of dollars in fees from the merchants, would likely be most at risk. I believe if the stable coins were to become a reliable source of transactions, you will see huge declines in the stock prices of Visa and MasterCard. Merchants have tried in the past to somehow get around the card-based systems from Visa and MasterCard, but each time they have failed. I personally still don't have a clear comfortable feeling or understanding of stable coins, which is true of many regulators and others as well, but it does appear new technology is coming and if Visa and MasterCard are replaced, I wonder who will get the benefit of those billions of dollars in transaction fees? Will it be the retailer or the consumers? ChatGPT and Perplexity are hurting the Internet You may not think about it, but Alphabet's Google search engine is seeing huge declines. This is not just hurting Google, but it also hurts many companies who get their business from people searching on Google. This could have a major impact on companies like TripAdvisor as it gets 58% of its global visits from search. If people get the answer, they need right away from ChatGPT, there's no need to continue searching and you'll not see any other ads directing you to other sites that may want to do business with you. Many companies from Netflix to US travel and tourism companies are seeing declines in traffic to their websites by 10 to 20% from one year ago. For example, search referrals to top U.S. travel and tourism were down 20% year over year last month and news and media sites saw a decline of 17%. ChatGPT had 500 million weekly active users in March and that was up almost 70% from the 300 million they saw in December. The reason this is hurting Internet search is since you get your answer from one platform, you close the book and move on. You don't need to do any more searches on other sites. Google‘s lawsuit for being a monopoly with the federal government will still not disappear even though things have changed as they are being penalized for what they have done in the past. I have noticed when I'm using Google now the AI search function now pops up. The big question is will this help Google retain their search business? This is extremely important considering more than half of Alphabet's business still comes from Google search ads. For investors, you may want to be aware of how much business the company you're investing in gets from search off the Internet because there could be a decline in the business if it is a large amount. One company that could benefit from the decline in search is Meta. This would come from the Facebook and Instagram platforms because that's still a way for businesses to be online and in front of potential new customers and clients. There's still some concern on copyright infringement from many companies and this could be something that really hurts the advancement of AI. Are you finding yourself using AI more and doing less Google searches?   Financial Planning: The “Widow's Penalty” When a spouse passes away in retirement, the surviving spouse typically transitions from filing taxes jointly to filing as a single taxpayer in the following year, a shift that often triggers what's known as the “widow's penalty.” This penalty arises because single filers face higher tax rates at lower income thresholds and receive a smaller standard deduction, which can significantly increase their tax liability even if their income stays the same. To make matters worse, household income often drops after a spouse's death.  For example, if both spouses are collecting Social Security, only the higher of the two benefits continues. This combination—less income and higher tax rates—can lead to a surprising and painful spike in effective tax burden and reduction in cashflow. To mitigate this risk, couples can take proactive steps such as performing Roth IRA conversions while both spouses are alive to lower future taxable income, carefully coordinating Social Security claiming strategies to maximize long-term benefits, and planning pre and post death retirement withdrawals to keep cashflow consistent. Thoughtful retirement planning can help soften the financial blow and preserve more wealth for the surviving spouse.   Companies Discussed: Adobe Inc.

“Alice: Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here? The Cheshire Cat: That depends a good deal on where you want to get to. Alice: I don't much care where. The Cheshire Cat: Then it doesn't much matter which way you go. Alice: ...So long as I get somewhere. The Cheshire Cat: Oh, you're sure to do that, if only you walk long enough.” That is the famous dialogue between Alice and the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland, by Lewis Carrol. And it's a great illustration of what happens when you don't know what is important to you and where you want to go. You're going to go get somewhere and that somewhere is probably going to be a place you never wanted to go to.  This week, I'll share with you why developing your Areas of Focus is so important.    You can subscribe to this podcast on:  Podbean | Apple Podcasts | Stitcher | Spotify | TUNEIN   Links: Email Me | Twitter | Facebook | Website | Linkedin Areas of Focus: The Foundation Of All Solid Productivity Systems.

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. So, why are your Areas of Focus important? Well, in a nutshell, they give you direction. They help you to prioritise your days and weeks and give you purpose.  Without them, you'll end up helping someone else achieve their goals, more often than not, in exchange for money, only to discover you're health is shot to pieces and you've spent your forty years of working life miserably giving away five days a week to something you hated doing.   A bit harsh, I know, but if you've read the book The Top five Regrets of The Dying by Bronnie Ware, you'll know that the number one reason given was “I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.”  It's your areas of focus that will allow you to live a life true to yourself because by developing your areas of focus, you'll learn what is important to you and what is not.  And the second reason? I wish I hadn't worked so hard.  When you don't know what is important and what is not, you will work too hard. Everything becomes important, and that means you work long hours and at weekends, missing out on your children growing up and enjoying the best years of your life doing the things you want to do.  I'm pretty sure that's not how you want your life to work out.  So with all that said, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question.  This week's question comes from Julie. Julie asks, hi Carl, I hear you mention knowing what's important to you a lot, yet I really don't know what's important. I'm under pressure at work and I have two teenagers at home. I feel my life is being pushed and pulled by everyone but myself. What can I do to create some boundaries in my life?  Hi Julie, thank you for your question.  It's when we feel lost and out of sorts that our Areas of Focus can help to bring back some peace to our lives.  Our areas of focus are focused on our needs and wants. And because of that, people feel it's an indulgence to even consider spending time on developing them. That's particularly the case when we have a young family and we've allowed our work to dominate our lives.  The first book I ever read on time management and productivity was Hyrum Smith's Ten natural Laws and time and Life Management, and around the first quarter of that book is spent on developing what Hyrum Smith calls your governing values.  Your governing values are the values by which you live your life by. With these, we will all be different. For some, being a good mother or father will be their most important value, for others, it might be building a successful business. Now, when I read that book I was around eighteen or nineteen and that part of the book washed over me. I was young, I believed I was immortal and I could do anything I wanted to do. I didn't have time to think about my “governing values”.  Yet, with age, came wisdom and around my late twenties I began to see the importance of having a set of values to guide me.  That's when I gave myself a couple of weekends to write out my governing values. Funnily enough, as I look through my old Franklin Planners from that era, I can see that the values I wrote down then are not far away from how I define my Areas of Focus today.  it's these areas that give you a direction and a purpose. They help you with prioritising your days and weeks and give you a solid foundation on which to build your goals.  For example, I used to be a smoker. Throughout my twenties and thirties I's smoke around twenty cigarettes a day. I found it relaxing, a great way to step away from my work and to think. Yet, I knew that by continuing to smoke I was violating my area of health and fitness.  I was going to the gym and running, I was eating healthily, but i was destroying all that by continuing the smoke. As I got older, the pressure inside me to quit something I enjoyed doing grew stronger. it eventually reached a point where I had to quit.  Every time I reviewed my areas of focus, I had that niggling voice reminding me that the vision I had for my later life—being able to travel the world running marathons, exploring places like Mount Kilimanjaro and the Rocky Mountains would be just a pipe dream because I would be spending my later life in and out of hospital.  And so, I set the goal to quit smoking. Now for anyone who has gone through the process of quitting smoking, you'll know it's one of the toughest things to do. It took me two years to finally quit. Yet, the effort was worth it.  Quitting gave me a sense of accomplishment, a realisation that I could do anything if I put my mind to it and it was compatible with what I felt was important.  Yet without a set of principles—something your areas of focus will give you—things like stopping something that is slowly killing you or staying in a career that is draining you and leaving your feeling depressed and unhappy—will never occur to you. They will be placed on what Brian Tracey calls, “Someday Island”, a place where nothing happens because you're waiting for “someday”.  another illustration of this was when i joined a law firm. I had spent six years training to be a lawyer. I worked hard, to get my legal qualifications, yet when I began working in a law firm, I quickly realised I'd made a huge mistake.  I hated being stuck behind a desk eight or none hours a day.  Prior to working in an office, all my jobs had involved a lot of moving around. I began my career in hotel management, where I spent all day running around a large building dealing with all sorts of issues. I'd sometimes be on reception helping to check people out, then I's be in the restaurant serving lunch. It was fun, physically exhausting, yet incredibly fulfilling.  Then I went into car sales. And again, my days were largely spent running around a showroom and forecourt talking with customers.  Suddenly, I'm chained to a desk and within six months I'd gained 20 pounds in weight, I was unhappy, and felt trapped. It was as if I had been sent to open prison where I was expected to be in one place for eight to nine hours a day Monday to Friday. it was horrible.  So, I quit and came to Korea. a decision that turned out to be the best decision I've ever made. Yet, when i told my friends and family I was quitting the law firm and going to teach English in Korea, they thought I was mad. Why was I quitting a potentially lucrative career to go and do something I knew nothing about?  Yet, it was my areas of focus that told me what I needed to do. staying in that legal job violated my career and business area. I was trapped in an industry that held firm to a tried and tested career path. I didn't want that constraint. I wanted a lot more freedom to help people and perhaps change their lives for the better. Being a lawyer would never give me that freedom.  The benefit of having a set of established areas of focus is they give you a blueprint for the life you want to live. By writing them down, and reading through them every six months or so, you get the chance to realign yourself with the way you want to live your life.  Now, for those of you who have not looked at your areas of focus before, there are eight areas we all share. These are: Family and relationships, health and fitness, Finances, Business / career Lifestyle and life experiences Self development Spirituality life's purpose  Each one of those mean something to us. However, how we define them will be different of each of us, snd in what order of importance will change as we go through life.  For example, as you get older, your health and fitness and finances will likely move up the list and your career and business will drop down.  When or if you start a family, your family and relationships will rapidly climb the list.  You may even find that over time you redefine one or more of your areas. This is perfectly normal.  however, at their core, these areas define who you are and what's important to you.  This means, Julie, when it comes to juggling your career with your family, you will be able to see by how you prioritise your areas whether you should attend your daughter's netball finals or that important meeting at work.  If family and relationships is above your career, then it's an easy choice to make. However, if you have prioritised finances above family and relationships, you'll need to decide if the risk of missing out on a promotion, is worth it to see your daughter play in the netball finals.  The problem most of face is there are too many competing demands on our time. Time is fixed. We get twenty-four hours a day; that's it. The good news is, no matter what work you do, you always have control over how you spend those twenty-four hours.  I know many people will say they don't have control over their time. But you do. You can decide not to attend a meeting you've been invited to. You get to choose whether to tap the accept, decline or maybe button when it appears on your calendar.  Whether you accept a meeting request or not, will depend on what you prioritise.  Given a choice between a meeting with an important person on a Saturday evening or spending that time with my wife, I already know the answer. my wife will have priority. Family and relationships is much higher than my career/business area.  I can renegotiate the meeting with the important person. Saturday nights are my family's protected time. It's one night a week, and I won't sacrifice it for anything.  This also translates to my work week. My exercise time is 5:00 pm. At that time, I stop what I am doing and either head out for a run or go upstairs to the loft and lift weights. I never schedule meetings at 5 pm. That's my exercise time and right now, my health and fitness area is higher than my career/business area.  All this comes down to knowing what's your areas of focus mean to you and how you prioritise them. There we will all be different, but it's your areas of focus that will give you a blueprint for how you want to live your life, what is important to you and where you want to spend your time.  Not knowing what your areas of focus are will be like being Alice in Alice in Wonderland. you'll feel the need to go somewhere, but will have no idea where and then you will end up following someone else, and that someone else will not always have your best interests at heart.  I hope that has helped, Julie. My advice is to spend some time working on your areas of focus. Determine what's they mean to you and pull out any activities that you can do consistently and add them to your task manager or calendar. That way you will stay on course. And, if you find you are not happy with the direction you are going, redefine your areas and adjust course.  Thank you for your question and thank you to you too for listening. It just remains for me now to wish you all a very very productive week.

As we embark on our 6th year as a podcast, it's rare that INXS: Access all Areas has returning guests, such was the magnitude of Philip Mortlock's impact first time around in 2020. As an original and pivotal creative consultant to INXS between 1982-86, Philip's contribution is particularly timely with the recent 40th anniversary release of Listen like Thieves. With album cover artwork, photography and film clip contributions, Philip's skill and creative techniques have proven timeless. This time around, we wanted to examine the music business both in 1985 vs 2025 examining marketing, product distribution and the critical role support teams play in making and breaking both an album and a band. Still vital and vibrant after 40 plus years in the industry, Philip is still managing artists, their catalogues and most critically allowing them to do what they do best which is making music and does so with integrity and continued passion. So sit back and enjoy part one of a two part interview where we traverse a wide range of discussion points underpinned your band, INXS.
