From my experience, true magic in any business is when you're so good, people wonder how you do it. Everyone in the organization strives for excellence rather than settling for average. Whether it's a seamless customer service experience or a perfectly executed operation, the moments when customer service leaves you smiling are all by design.

Join 10's of thousands of your fellow learning leaders and receive a carefully curated email from me each Monday morning to help you start your week off right... Full show notes at www.LearningLeader.com Twitter/IG: @RyanHawk12   https://twitter.com/RyanHawk12 Dr. Angus Fletcher has dual degrees in neuroscience (BS, University of Michigan) and literature (Ph.D., Yale). His research employs a mix of laboratory experiment, literary history, and rhetorical theory to explore the psychological effects—cognitive, behavioral, therapeutic—of different narrative technologies. He's the best-selling author of multiple books including Wonderworks: The 25 Most Powerful Inventions in the History of Literature, and Storythinking: The New Science of Narrative Intelligence. "The story you tell yourself needs to be the true story of yourself." How Angus tells his story: Build trust Listen Demonstrate courage - Angus told a group of special forces operators one of the most embarrassing stories of his life. After that, he said, "I'm not scared of anything." You must be genuinely humble to learn from your mistakes. "Real leaders activate the leader within you." Being a leader is all about contemplating fear. Stepping up when adversity strikes is why we exist as leaders. It's easy to lead when everything is going well. We want to be known as the leader who is there when it's hard. Dr. Fletcher's ultimate goal of using the power of story to bring us closer to self-actualization. Seems like that's a good first step to being a great leader. Confidence is earned by creating evidence for yourself that you can do hard things. Angus did this when he shared his story of not making it through Marine Corps boot camp. Angus's vulnerability earned trust with the military leaders. “For the longer we suspend our judgments, the more accurate our subsequent verdicts become. This valuable fact has been uncovered by researchers who've spent decades probing the mechanics of better decision-making, only to discover that the key is simply more time and more information. Which is to say: reserving our judgment until the last possible moment.” Unlike a computer, the brain wasn't particularly data-driven. Or particularly logical. Instead, it was emotional. And creative. And powered by story. “There are a number of judgments that we can suspend permanently, including most of our judgments about other people. Our brain is constantly making such judgments. It looks at strangers on the street—and judges them. It looks at celebrities in magazines—and judges them. It looks at family members and colleagues and friends in homes and offices and restaurants—and judges them. These judgments feel instantly good to our neurons; they deliver pleasant microdoses of emotional superiority. But in the long run, they make us anxious, incurious, and less happy, so we can improve our long-term mental well-being if we suspend them.” Apply to be part of my Leadership Circle 02:12 - Highlights of Leadership Training04:24 - How to Prevent Failure09:14 - What is a Story Scientist? 12:57 - Is Story Science Therapy? 14:22 - Tell Your Story 18:56 - Vulnerability is the Most Powerful Thing You Can Do 22:00 - Can You Go Too Far With Being Vulnerable? 25:19 - How to Be Vulnerable 32:42 - Real Leaders Activate the Leader In You 36:10 - Where Does Your Sense of Confidence Come From? 40:50 - Punch Through Your Own Fear 43:00 - Be Open About What Could Go Wrong 44:47 - Questions to Ask During the Interview Process 48:33 - Responding to Adversity IS Leadership 51:45 - How to Be Excellent at Speaking 56:27 - Advice For Younger Leaders

Kathleen Denly has done it again! Her next book in the Chapparal Hearts series releases on the sixteenth, and with a title like Murmur in the Mud Caves, it promises to be another delightful book. Everyone knows I'm a huge fan of this series, so listen in and learn some of the things Kathleen encountered in her research and writing. Oh, and help me convince her and her publisher that we really do want seven books in the series.   Note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you. Rumor Has It, Murmur in the Mud Caves Promises to Be Excellent! Note to all: I apologize for the lateness. Wrenched my ankle in Scotland yesterday and it took a while to get going today. At least it's still morning in the States!  Okay, as for this rumor, yeah. I started it. However, I totally stand behind it. 100%. If Kathleen Denly wrote it, I'm reading it. If it's in the Chapparal Hearts series, I guarantee I'll like it. Woot! Taking us out into the desert a bit, this book gives us a Civil War veteran, a few stubborn women, and bandits.  What more could we ask for? How about Kathleen's brilliant storytelling? That's what! If you have any doubts about my opinions on these books, you can check out reviews HERE. Murmur in the Mud Caves by Kathleen Denly He came to cook for ranch hands, not three single women. Gideon Swift, a visually impaired Civil War Veteran, responds to an ad for a ranch cook in the Southern California desert mountains. He wants nothing more than to forget his past and stay in the kitchen where he can do no harm. But when he arrives to find his employer murdered, the ranch turned to ashes, and three young women struggling to survive in the unforgiving Borrego Desert, he must decide whether his presence protects them or places them in greater danger. Bridget “Biddie” Davidson finally receives word from her older sister who disappeared with their brother and pa eighteen years prior, but the news is not good. Determined to help her family, Biddie sets out for a remote desert ranch with her adopted father and best friend. Nothing she finds there is as she expected, including the man who came to cook for the shambles of a ranch. When tragedy strikes, the danger threatens not only her plans to help her sister, but her own dreams for the future—with the man who's stolen her heart.

https://richperry.com/ [DAILY MINUTE with RICH] For the last two days, I've been talking about self-improvement and doing the things that make us better every single day. One of the ways we can foster self-improvement is by being curious. Having curiosity and desire, within ourselves, to seek out new ideas, opportunities for growth, and specialized learning for the purpose of personal development and life advancement. Albert Einstein said, “Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death.” We have an opportunity each day to learn, grow, and advance. This should be something we actively seek out, for our own betterment and enrichment of life. You don't have to listen to me. Listen to Einstein. He's pretty much an expert on the matter. Think about it. For your action step, think of one thing you can do today (in 5-10min) to foster self-improvement. Then go out and do it. Thanks and Be Excellent! I'd love to hear your thoughts.

https://richperry.com/ [DAILY MINUTE with RICH] Some people believe that being a leader means always being in front or in the spotlight. If you think that's the only way to lead, then take a minute to consider this message from activist, politician, and former 1st President of South Africa, Nelson Mandela. He said, “It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.” In other words, when you're celebrating the good times, that's when you should put other people first and give them a chance to shine. But when times are hard, then you have an obligation to step up and lead your people around the obstacles and through the darkness. Think about it. Thanks and Be Excellent!

https://richperry.com/ [DAILY MINUTE with RICH] The ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu was born in 571 BC. He was the founder of Taoism, and his wise teachings would be compiled as the Tao Te Ching. Whether you've heard of the “Old Master” or not, you've probably heard one of his most famous pearls of wisdom. That being, “The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” This was certainly an important reminder for those walking a great physical distance, like back in his day. It's just as meaningful today, for those who might want to travel a great distance in life. Perhaps that means starting a business, going back to school, or advancing in some other area of life. The journey ahead might be long, but you can't finish unless you start. Begin with that first single step and then keep on going. I believe in you. Thanks and Be Excellent!

https://richperry.com/ [DAILY MINUTE with RICH] Yesterday I talked about the need to break from situations that no longer bring us joy and fulfillment. I'm betting one area we could all benefit from a break would be social media. With our nation as divided as it is, social media has only added fuel to the fire. If you ever thought about muting social media, you won't find a better time than right now. Here are three benefits of doing a social media detox. (1) Studies have shown that it can improve your overall mood. This is especially helpful for those who struggle with anxiety, stress, or depression. (2) You won't feel as though you must compete with others in your newsfeed and you won't have to worry about the fear of missing out. (3) You'll be able to reconnect with yourself and live your life in the way that's best for you. I did and so can you. Thanks and Be Excellent! I'd love to hear your thoughts.

This intro was a bit longer and I feel like I didn't necessarily do the subject justice. But I'll just keep trying to improve! Toki has made a new bed near my recording desk and has been present for all of the making of this episode. This week we are very honored to welcome innovative musician, righteous guitarist, and legit-ass human Nick Reinhart to the hall of discussion. You might know Nick from his band Tera Melos who were label and touring mates of RX during our Sargent House days, or you might know him from his more current projects such as Disheveled Cuss, Undo K From Hot, or Vertical Scratchers. Nick has a very hefty and droppable list of names of bands and musicians he's played with including playing with Best Coast on late night tv performances and jamming with various indie and mainstream legends. All the while, Nick maintains his authentic and vibrantly stoic vibe while always asking questions of how we listen to music. In this conversation we talk about burritos, Nick's sonic inspirations, home studio setups, whether or not we'd make music for a McDonals commercials, over stuffing guitar racks and pedal shelving and lots more!

Liz and Tony are celebrating like it's 1999! Well, at least trying to make the best of it. The hot topic of the week started with a bang. Like, literally. So many emotions, outbursts, opinions, and rebuttals. No, toilet paper wasn't sold out of stores after this pandemic-like announcement was made by the Arbiter Staff. It was hard to keep up with all madness. Amazing how many people go overboard over a change. What made it easy to stay on task, was the discussion of NCAA softball is finally ending our 23-year drought of the same umpire uniforms and getting a pretty fine uplift. Just an FYI...the uniforms are not sold online or in any of the stores yet. So, we all have time to save up for the newest addition to our wardrobe closest! Be Kind. Be Patient. Be Excellent everyone!

We are talking about the importance of "being seen"! How our accomplishments and successes need to be shared in order to demonstrate to others the unlimited possibilities within all! Representation...freeing others to dream and to create vision! Tune in and share!

Who didn't have the Eminem Song in their heads after reading the title to this power chat? I know I did. All silliness aside, we are finally back at it with our recordings. This summer has been busy for Tony and me with work, sessions, horse rodeos, and softball tournaments. The next full episode Tony and I will publish will talk more about my WS experience and the behind-the-scenes. Today I wanted to touch base with what goals do you have, how are you staying focused, and some things I witnessed this summer with my daughters' tournaments. Plus, I wanted to get you all back to self-motivate yourself to be better. Be ready! We're about to be on a roll again. Guess Who's Back! Power Chat! Be Excellent!

By all accounts, I'm a weird attorney. I believe in a world of win/win.  Because the legal system is based on lack and the adversarial system. As lawyers have been taught that separation and adversarial engagements create the best and highest possible good in the situation.  This process leads many lawyers to hold high ego that they are justified in seriously degenerating things in the name of advocating for their client. Because the adversarial system is a win/lost system. Someone must lose and someone must win and this is justice served.  I call bullshit.  In the past weeks I have talked about the concept of our thoughts creating action. Our thoughts creating our reality. I'm going to put this little gem out there for you to ponder.  “All thought is acted upon.”  Regardless if you are the actor or not. “You see the world as you are”   Meaning, if you see a world of assholes - perhaps you need to take a look at yourself and confirm first who the #1 asshole in the room is.  The constant asshole in all of those situations; yourself. Similarly I've been accused of being naively positive and not realistic enough more than once. But I believe first “assume support” and that every person is a divine being deserving of love and respect. Now you attack me or my family, my friends or my business I will defend myself.  I am not a floor mat. But 1st and foremost I care about everyone, and want the best and highest good for all.  And I assume that anyone across the table from me is doing the same.  Even in legal matters.  This is a lack mentality pervasively infesting an entire system that governs our world. In the US at least. And it masquerades as Justice. When it's an illusion spreading the lie that we are justified in judging another, because one must win and one must lose.  Why can't both parties win? Why is any consideration of this called alternative dispute resolution? An alternative to what? To win/lose? Why is win lose more realistic? Why is win/win seen as unrealistic? What makes it more or less realistic than the belief that there is a lack in the world and thus for one to gain another must lose? What if the world had enough for everyone? It does by the way.  We live in abundance. But we believe in lack.  We are ensconced in lack and it makes so many people live in survival mode fighting to get their scraps - when there is a cornucopia of bounty just waiting to be had if you stop playing in the mud puddle.  So, I challenge you to relearn the belief in what is truly realistic. Why is the negative any more realistic than the positive? There is absolutely no empirical evidence one way or the other. Though our belief in one or the other ensures it's truth. Thus, we must flip the script. This script is both on the micro and the macrocosm.  As a lawyer I start with the request that whatever the outcome is for the best and highest good of all in the situation.  I personally prefer to work outside of litigious matters and do planful, preventative and communicative things to ensure that the best outcomes are assured.  But if I find myself negotiating towards settlement of a matter I always start with what is the best outcome for all.  I advise my clients to look long term from the heart versus seeking judgment or any type of lust of vengeance or even righteousness.  As the path of the righteous is often judgment.  Where there is judgment, there is no love and where there is no love there is no humanity and where there is no humanity there is barbarism and where there is barbarism there is evil and suffering.  I do not want, nor will I participate in the perpetuation of evil and suffering.  And just because a system says I must choose a lesser of two evils it doesn't mean I have to believe it.  Jimmy Carter was president of the United States for 4 years and he never dropped a bomb or ordered the shooting of a single gun. No one died under his watch as the commander and chief of the United States Military. This was not a miracle.  It was because he was dedicated to loving human beings across the world and held in his heart I quote “ the prince of peace.” This being Jesus Christ the greatest example of love and healing for our planet in history.  Regardless of your religious affiliation can anyone argue that Jesus was an embodiment of love? Can anyone argue that someone like President Jimmy Carter (holding an arsenal of the military industrial complex at his fingertips) was not a disciple of that kind of love? Jimmy believed in win/win that is how he got the Camp David accords between Israel and Egypt. This is how he got all of those 52 hostages home alive without dropping a bomb.  This is not how he won re-election because the United States Citizens do not believe as a populace in win/win and love. I wish we did. win/win requires that we start from an abundance mindset. The belief that there is fundamentally enough for everyone on this planet. That two people can win - that there is no scarcity of any resource that the conversation is engaged in.  It also requires that those engaging in the conversation trust and love the other human as  a human deserving of respect and love. That they truly recognize the divinity of the other and that they hold that belief firmly not allowing a negative belief otherwise to enter the conversation.  This is a law of abundance because if you work this way as a human you are acting from love. You may not have a life free from difficulty, in fact you might invite more. Jesus was crucified, people tried and did assassinate Gandhi, my mentors and teachers in life - Daisaku Ikeda, Ipsissimus Dave Lanyon and Modern Mystery School Founder Gudni Gudnuson have all been accused as cult leaders.  Holding the light for others makes you a target for those who choose the opposite - so it won't always be easy - but it's rewarding. And you are as you see the world.  So, if you see the world as full of love it will return it to you.  If you see money as abundant and yourself as capable of making it - it will come to you. If you can believe that even in conflict all can win - it is possible.  I promise. But don't take my word for it.  Try it yourself.  Believe more in the unreasonable, let go of the belief in realistic.  That is a lie and illusion that keeps you in the safe box.  A prison of fearful unhappiness.  Flush that shit down the toilet and come out of the bathroom.  It's time to live your best life as a leader.  The more you raise others up the more will come back to you.  Love & light brothers and sisters and like Bill and Ted once said - Be Excellent to each other.  Find out

There are two separate primary storylines: The New Mutants struggle against S'ym for the soul of Illyana Rasputin, now the Darkchilde, and the X-Men and X-Factor struggle against N'astirh and Madelyne Pryor to regain Nathan Christopher Summers. Inferno is the first X-book storyline to truly be a crossover, in that the story actually continued from one title to another from month to month (X-Men and X-Factor). Sinister and N'astirh independently manipulate Madelyne Pryor, both for their own ends. Madelyne makes a deal with N'astirh to get her son back from Sinister, and becomes the Goblin Queen. The transformation, combined with Sinister's revelations about her origins, and the events in her life (notably her abandonment by Scott Summers) all contrive to force her further into N'astirh's arms as she vows to sacrifice her son for the demon's plan. The X-Men and X-Factor clash over Madelyne - X-Factor mostly concerned for the child and the X-Men mostly concerned for Madelyne, whom they see as wronged by Scott. Into the confusion Sinister throws the Marauders. Everything comes to a head when Jean Grey fights and defeats Madelyne Pryor, rescuing Nathan. At the end, the combined teams fight Sinister and the mansion is destroyed.

Many things go through our minds as we are trying to prepare for all our assignments. We have some key elements that we need to be mindful of as we stay focused. We have to be studying film, see what tendencies the team has, distance to the assignment, who your partners are, and how you communicate with your future partners. Every little detail matters as we are preparing for our games. Not to mention, making sure our personal lives are organized before we drive off. We need to continue to be honest with one another on the field. Have a voice of reason. Meaning, have an opinion when things are brought to our attention. Communicate in the pre-games, during the games, and after the games with a post-game meeting. Always have your language ready when approached by a coach or gathering together when the crew needs to rule on a play. Lastly, when you are walking into the parking lot, the locker room, walking the field, and even on the field, set the tone. The tone starts when you arrive. The games or series need to start right from the beginning to the end. Be encouraging, be thoughtful, be ready, and most importantly...Be Excellent.

Greetings fine listeners! We are embarking on a most bodacious journey across time and space with our good friends, Bill & Ted! We talk about B&T's Excellent and Bogus outings as well as a spoiler-free review of Face the Music (Since two of our three hosts didn't see it). Be Excellent to each other!

"An unexamined life is not worth living." -Socrates "The best place to be is here. The best time to be is now." -Wyld Stallyns "Bake 40 to 45 minutes or just until brownies begin to pull away from sides of pan. Cool completely in pan on cooling rack." -Betty Crocker Wisdom comes in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes it's from history's greatest philosophers pondering life and death. Sometimes it's a 30-year-old slacker film franchise pondering time and space. Sometimes it's a trusted brand in consumer baking telling you how to cook brownies. In any case something nice and special happened, if only of the most brief and frivolous moment, and the Nighthawks would like to share that with you. But first, it's time to make good on an episode we've long teased. What you have on your device in front of you is the Bill and Ted Trilogy episode of the Nighthawks Podcast. We have a spoiler-filled discussion of the first two nearly-30-year-old films in the franchise, which introduced a generation of Gen X and Elder Millennials to Bill S. Preston Esq. and Ted "Theodore" Logan: BILL AND TED'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE BILL AND TED'S BOGUS JOURNEY Then we have a brief spoiler-free discussion to talk about our very positive reaction to the new 2020 film: BILL AND TED FACE THE MUSIC Maybe the Bill and Ted Franchise, featuring the fantastically talented Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter will never be considered "indispensable Art," but it is something that we think a lot of folks need right now. Be Excellent to Each Other, And Party On, Dudes...

THIS ENTIRE EPISODE IS AVAILABLE FOR FREE OVER ON PATREON! Since the beginning of the pod, we have signed off every episode with the “Be Excellent to Each Other … and Party On, Dudes!” quote from “Bill & Ted…” The third film in the storied franchise came out last weekend and we were too excitedRead More

Rev. Ben preaches on the seemingly impossible standards set by Jesus’ challenging ‘salt of the earth’ teaching, and how it calls us to active morality & welcoming grace into our lives. Read Matthew 5:13-20 on Bibles.org The post Be Excellent to Each Other appeared first on MPC Family.

I love this Sanee Bell Quote from her book “Be Excellent on Purpose” - “Students should have rich, relevant, and authentic experiences at school, across the board. If every educator in every school pursued excellence instead of allowing excuses about what students can and cannot do, we would meet the needs of all students. Our goal has to be to create schools where excellence is the standard.” I thought about this quote when I was reading an article about how “innovation in education was overrated” I guess my question is, how do you look at innovation in education? Is it about creating new and better opportunities for learning in our schools for our learners and ourselves, or is it about doing cool things? In this episode, George Couros will dive deep into the quote and how we look at innovation in meeting the needs of each and every one of our students.

Welcome back to the films of 1989! Did you remember the year that made us all want to live "Under the Sea"? How about wanting to learn the excellent air guitar? Then rejoice, for Geek Salad is back to finish their discussion of the movies of 1989 with episode 182: Be Excellent to Batarangs (part 2). Andy, Mike, and Joe are back to go over some of the more memorable films of 1989 that didn't quite crack the top 10 highest domestic box office list. From Major League to Do the Right Thing, they go through some true gems as well as some that are memorable for less than positive reasons. Still, most of them are good for a few laughs, right?

The year 1989 ended up being one hell of a year for movies. From Tim Burton's first Batman film to Ghostbusters II, this year really gave us some true gems, as well as some lesser but still memorable hits. And here to go through some of those films is Geek Salad with episode 182: Be Excellent to Batarangs (part 1). Join Andy, Mike, and Joe as they go overlong in discussing this banner year for films. So overlong, that the episode had to be split up into two parts. Here in part 1, the crew goes over what films were the highest grossing domestic releases for the year. They answer such questions as "Wait, numbers 3 and 4 are what now? Really?" and "Just how many of these top 10 films had Rick Moranis in them?"

A lot of people gave me some great advice during my career. I am trying to pay it forward by recording these Voice Blogs. If it helps just one person, it will be well worth the effort.

You have to stop running from hard, and run to E.A.S.Y. This is where it starts. It starts with you. You have to make a decision to make hard EASY. We'd like it to be as easy as running to Staples and getting an Easy Button. BUT... Sometimes you have to push your own buttons. Your own EASY buttons. Step up. Step forward. Keep walking. Even when it feels hard. But do you REALLY desire EASY? REALLY? If this is the case, then I’m going to challenge you today. The only way to get to easy is to THROUGH HARD. Are you willing to do hard to get to easy? Then you have to go THROUGH HARD. Now, I didn’t say, STAY IN HARD. i said you have to got THROUGH HARD to get to easy. Here are 4 things you can to do to get to E.A.S.Y. 1. Excellence. The past few podcasts we’ve been talking about about this. Aristotle said, “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” What is excellence for you? The Word says that love is the most excellent way. Sometimes the most excellent way isn’t the easiest. It’s a choice. It’s a commitment. It’s work. It’s creative expression. It’s hard work sometimes. God is Love. The true essence of love is the most creative power that we have. It’s the most excellent way. Are you willing to commit to EXCELLENCE…not as an act, but a habit? A consistent habit. 2. And… Stop thinking about your life with “EITHER/OR THINKING." What would your life look like if you were an “AND THINKER?” If you weren’t thinking that it had to be this way OR that way?... But instead, you started looking at this AND this…this AND that? Imagine if you could have it all? Not EVERYTHING all at once, but NO more compromise. No more give and take. Instead, you could give and receive…SHARE. Share is an “AND” way of thinking. It’s a share word. It’s a care word. Caring for yourself and the desires of your heart, so you can care for, and share, with others. For those you love. AND is exponential. Like the number 11. One and one equalling, not 2, but 11. 3. Successful. What would that look like for you? You must be willing to define success for yourself. Whatever this is for you, you must be willing to define (redefine) and create it. Living successfully is a lot easier than hard. Try being unsuccessful. Try being in a state of lack, poverty, need, disease (dis-ease)…now, that’s hard. Success is easy. But in order to get there, you must be willing to do the work. The hard work. You must go through HARD. If success was that easy, everyone would be willing to do it. 4. YOU. Think of E.A.S.Y. as an Excellent AND Successful YOU. YOU. Are you being YOU? Stop being everyone else. Stop TRYING to be like everyone else. Be YOU. Stop TRYING to be successful. Be SUCCESSFUL. Stop TRYING to be excellent. Be EXCELLENT. Be YOU. Fully expressed. Commit today. Commit to your E.A.S.Y., and getting THROUGH, going through, growing through the HARD to create your E.A.S.Y. If you do, your HARD will become EASY. Stop running from hard, and run to easy. In order to do that, you must be willing to RUN HARD. Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E. JOURNAL (Daily Action To Engage yourself.) TODAY’S SACRED S.O.L. STEP: 1. Take a look at your life and the area that feels most HARD…the area where you desire easy. 2. Focus on E.A.S.Y. 3. Write it down. Commit to it today. Take at least one step. The first step is always the hardest. TAKE IT AND KEEP GOING. Take it today, and you’ll get to an EXCELLENT. AND. SUCCESSFUL. YOU. The only way to get there is through the HARD. STOP staying IN hard. Keep GOING through HARD and you will get to E.A.S.Y. Thank you for being here, and allowing me to sip on life with you.

Be Excellent to Each Other! In part 2, Bill discusses his time helping people out on Skid Row in Los Angeles. He encounters people who make a huge impact on his life, including a rabbi he decided was most certainly not going to hell. Bill's family moves from southern California to Alaska! His daughter begins asking who is going to heaven and who is going to hell. She questions the Trinity. Bill transitions to CFO of his congregation. When the church wants to spend money they don't have, Bill advises against it. Their response to Bill triggers a big change in his life. I absolutely loved this quote from Bill: "If their theology was right and what they believed was true, it would've made people a lot better".

Happy Superhero Friday! Brian's guest today may sound familiar to you... and if so, then you are definitely one of us; if not, please, please go check out his podcasts! You can hear him on The Packers Fan Podcast and The Blacklist Exposed, as well as others (which we will definitely be talking about in the episode). We first connected with Troy while podcasting for TV Talk, and continue to enjoy his friendship through a handful of networks. In This Episode Troy Heinritz... TV Talk, Golden Spiral Media Stuff Of The Week! 13 Reasons Why... & Big Little Lies Police Brutality Scare the Crap Out of... It's interesting how context and environment can change the way someone sounds, isn't it? Troy's story of getting the crap scared out of him when Brian's voice comes on in the car is a perfect example of this. A voice can sound so different when it's whispering versus yelling, different in a small room with no one in it versus a large open room with no one in it. It also changes because of what we're expecting, though. Like when you get in your car expecting the radio to come on but instead your ears are met with Panic! At the Disco blaring from the CD player (this may have happened to me this week). Expecting one thing and getting another can make an otherwise ordinary circumstance set your nerves on edge! We never intentionally try to scare you on this show, but we take what we can get when we can get it! Be Excellent to Each Other Science Fiction is awesome for many reasons. All stories make caricatures reality in some way, either to draw parallels or to exaggerate points in order to draw out differences. But science fiction, for me, is different and more poignant because it is capable of showing simple truths on epic scales. Unfortunately, this is the only clip of the scene from 12 Monkeys I could find: Jennifer's speech to the daughters. If you've never seen the show, I'll briefly recap: Jennifer is nuts. But she's not nuts for no reason. Time is like gogurt in her brain and she sees and supposes things well outside the normal, linear timescale that most humans do. Regardless of her knowledge of the past and present, she's come to care about, in her own Jennifer way, that Cole and Cassie succeed (the time travelers trying to save the world). In the darkest and grittiest of times, she demonstrates to her followers what she calls the most important rule of all: "Be excellent to each other." I love this on so many levels, and not just for what it represents at this stage in the show... but on the granular, human level. Pluck her out of context and you see this crazy, ragged woman trying to rally a bunch of women you know don't respect her; backdrop of the scene looks grim and dark. But it's not actually her speech that inspires her followers, it's her actions. Every day we have a million choices to make. What to eat, wear, how to respond to emails, which projects to pick up and which to set aside, what route to take home from work. But hidden within each choice is another decision, and that's how we choose to behave while we're making those choices. Do we make decisions and say things at the expense of others, or make them in order to make our immediate surroundings a better place? Maybe one day it seems more appropriate to skip lunch so you can talk with a colleague who seems to be struggling, or sacrifice work on your own project in order to help someone else who is falling behind. Be excellent to each other. Look for the hidden decisions in the obvious decisions.

1 St. Peter Chapter 3-Wifely Duties...Say what?     More Peter, more not-21st-century-friendly advice: ladies, obey your husbands.  Even if your man is an unbelieving jerkwad, just keep being sweet as pie.   Hey, maybe one day you'll win him over with your feminine charms and Christian piety. Maybe.   Also, girls, don't spend too much time on your image. Just say no to braiding your hair, wearing gold, or putting on fancy clothes. It's overkill.  Instead of worrying about what you look like on the outside, show off your beautiful inside. Okay, so we've heard about wives. How about the gents?    Well, Peter thinks that husbands should be considerate to their wives, too. Sure, the ladies are the "weaker sex," but they're also God's children who will reap all the same rewards as men. We guess there's no misogyny in Heaven. Be Excellent to Each Other!   And some advice for everyone: just love one another.  If someone does something bad to you, don't try to get even by seeking revenge. Bless them instead.   It's the only way you're gonna inherit that kingdom of Heaven everyone keeps talking about. Just say no to evil.     And even if someone does attack you while you're doing the right thing.  Jesus suffered and died so that everyone could be saved. Even those naysayers.   Remember when Noah built that ark and God saved only eight people after cleansing the world with water?  Now he wants to save everyone through water—the water of baptism, to be exact. By being baptized, believers ask God to help them do what's right.  All this is possible because of Jesus. Thanks to  www.shmoop.com

Jeder Nerd, Geek und Bildschirmarbeiter sollte sich mehr Gedanken darüber machen, wie er seinen Arbeitsplatz und Arbeitsablauf gestaltet um mögliche Leistungsabfälle und Spätfolgen zu vermeiden. Heute fliegen Hulla-Hoop-Reifen, Yogamatten und Hantel im Cockpit rum. Der Übercast widmet sich dem Thema Gesundheit am Arbeitsplatz. Lieber Fluggast, wenn dir das Gehörte gefällt oder dir Sorgenfalten auf die edle Stirn fabriziert, dann haben wir etwas für dich: iTunes Bewertungen. Überbleibsel Auf unserem letzten Flug dröhnte es verheißungsvoll aus der Boardanlage, dass der Streamingdienst schlechthin mit dem Riesenkatalog überhaupt in naher Zukunft über den Atlantik in unsere heimatlichen Gefilde strömt. Nun, wenn man Kapitän Sven F. glauben schenken darf, hat Netflix wohl den Ubercast im Abo und sah’ sich aufgrund der letzten Episode genötigt, dies auch noch einmal zu bestätigen. Kurz, dieses Jahr noch soll Deutschland benetflixt werden. Einstieg per Wehleiden Als orthopädischer Krisenherd und als Einstieg in die Sendung zählt Patrick seine um den Arbeitsplatz geschacherten “Gesundheits-Gadgets” auf: Eine “Handy Max Unterarm-Auflage”, welche Schulter- und Nackenmuskulatur, sowie Handgelenke entlastet. Um die Muskulatur der Hand samt Anhang ein wenig zu alten Kräften zurückzuführen, wird der Thera-band Handtrainer benutzt. Dabei handelt es sich um einen gelben Drückball – gelb ist übrigens die ganz weiche Version für Sensibelchen; der Ball ist also nicht zu verwechseln mit den Quetschbällen zur Anti-Aggressivtätsbewältigung. Das Apple Magic Trackpad. So ein Trackpad sitzt übrigens auch am mauslosen Arbeitsplatz vom Sven und hat dort den Nager schon länger verscheucht. Aber als ältester Pilot und derjenige mit den meisten Flugstunden sorgt Sven sich natürlich eher um das disfunktionale Handgelenk seinen Co-Piloten als um alles Andere… oder ist es doch die geheime Sorge um die Flugsicherheit der Passagiere in der eigenen Maschine wen Patrick kaum noch den Steuerknüppel halten kann? Man weiß es nicht. Auf jeden Fall stößt Sven damit Patrick wieder an olle Kamellen auszukramen (… ganz nebenbei erwähnt, Leser der Show Notes bekommen hier natürlich wieder mehr Backgroundinfos zugespielt): Vor ca. 20 Jahren im welkerischen Garten…. Vater: Wertester Junge, mein. Dir oh Sohn, meinem eigen Fleisch und Blut vermache ich das geheime Wissen zur ewigen Gesundheit. Hör nur auf meine weißen Worte. Pass auf Jüngling und schweige nun lauschend und werde Zeuge meiner unendlichen Weisheit: Mach den Schubkarren lieber nicht so voll. Teils dir ein auf das der Karren leichter rollt. Lieber mehr laufen, ob einmal oder zweimal das sei dir gleich. Dafür dankt es dir später dein Handgelenk und wird nicht gar zu schnell Steif. Steif und starr durch Altersgebährden. Befolg diesen Rat und du wirst nie deine Gelenke gefährden. Sohn: Ja, oh ja, mein werter Vater. Ich höre dir zu. Doch wichtig ist nur. Das dein Kind Zeit spart im Stile ganz groß, schneller ist er dann beim Nintendo. Zu dieser Vorarbeit in Richtung Handgelenkschaden gesellten sich dann noch ein paar Skate- und Snowboardingunfälle. Sven unterstellt sofort xxxx xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx, was aber von Patrick umgehend berichtig wird, da er mit links xxxxxxxx. Wie dem auch sei, alles war eigentlich noch im (er)tragbaren Bereich und Patrick merkte nur ab und an, dass er gewisse Sachen nicht übertreiben sollte (Liegestütze!! nicht das Andere). Akut wurde es erst vor zwei, drei Monaten. Die Freundin sagt das iPhone wäre Schuld. Der Wehleidende selbst macht jedoch einen mehrstündiges Wii U Golftournament dafür verantwortlich. Die Wahrheit werden wir wohl nie erfahren. Der Eingangs erwähnte linderungsversprechende Gummiball wird übrigens auch live während der Show vorgestellt: Link zum Bild Das Trackpad, kommt bei Andreas nur im MacBook vor, für die Versionen der Co-Piloten hat er jedoch verschiedene Kosenamen parat, welche ihm mehr oder minder leicht von der Zunge fallen. Unter anderen viel der Schulhofsklassiker “Tragic Mackpad”, “Dreckpad” und andere verbale Neckereien. Für die Handgelenkschoner unter euch die experimentierfreudig sind noch ein Link zur Evoluent Vertical Mouse 4 Maus. Diese gibt es für Rechts- & Linkshänder und in verschiedenen Größen (angeblich ist die Wireless-Variante auch ein wenig kleiner als die Kabelgebundene; letztere ist auf dem Mac dank ihrem immens hohen Batterieverschleiß auch nicht zu empfehlen). Die Eingewöhnungszeit soll wohl mehrere Wochen betragen. Ein Mann und sein Stuhl _Da wir akustisch bemüht waren Genderkorrekt zu agieren, sei uns die obige Kapitelüberschrift dies Mal noch gestattet. Natürlich gibt es auch Geschichten von Frauen und Stühlen._ Lieber Leser, Hörer, Passagiere. Das Klagelied von oben war nicht alles. Sven fängt nun an aus den Vollen zu schöpfen. Seine Verschleißerscheinungen nach Dekaden als Bildschirmarbeiter machen sich in der Nackenpartie in Form von Verspannungen breit und bemerkbar. Zu allem Übel wird seinem Rücken auch von Zeit zu Zeit derbe mitgespielt. Die Schlussfolgerung mit der Sven nicht alleine ist liest sich wie folgt: Wenn man seinen Arbeitstag - oder gar noch mehr Stunden - sitzen verbringt, so ist ein guter Stuhl eine zwar teure, aber durchaus lohnende Anschaffung. Sven F. Teuer wird hier mit 1.000 bis 2.000 Euro betitelt, wobei es natürlich nach oben hin fast keine Grenzen gibt. Der Design-Klassiker “Aeron” von Hermann Miller (ca. 1.500 EUR), welcher auch gern und oft als der Nerd-Stuhl betitelt wird ist Svens Favorit. Als echter Schwabe hat Sven aber noch einen echten Tipp. Zwischen 700 und 1200 EUR bekommt man bei DESIGNcabinet schon einen gebrauchten, aber bis hin zur Neuwertigkeit aufgearbeiteten Aeron. Co-Pilot, Gesundheitsmessebesucher und orthopädischer Fachhandel Probesitzer Patrick hingegen hat lange Zeit mit dem FALTO-SANAFORM Wip (ca. 700 EUR) geliebäugelt. Beim dem ‘Wip’ handelt es sich um einen Schaukelstuhl, welcher nicht nur schaukeln kann, sondern auch viele bewegliche Elemente hat. In Patricks Favoritenliste hat dieser es geschafft, da der Wip bei einer nach vorne neigenden Sitzhaltung trotzdem noch den Rücken genügend stützt. Bei dieser Pilgerfahrt hin zum richtigen Stuhl kreuzte jedoch letztes Jahr der BIOSWING 460 (1.300 EUR) seinen Weg. Da er an diesem Tag viel über seinen zukünftigen Stuhl und körpergerechtes Arbeiten an sich gelernt hat, gibt es an dieser Stelle den ersten Ubergast beim Ubercast. Interview mit Dr. Reinhardt Vorwort: Vorab sei ganz nebenbei erwähnt, dass unser Gast die Bordfunkanlage zur Kommunikation nutzt, weshalb sein Auftritt allen Passagieren von Flug #UC004 akustisch einen noch authentischeres Fluggefühl bescheren dürfte. Trick 17 halt. Allerdings ist der qualitative Mitschnitt von Patricks Stimme leider im Bermudadreieck abhanden gekommen, weshalb wir den elendigen Hall auf seiner Spur zu entschuldigen bitten. Einen Suchtrupp auszuschicken kurz vor Beginn diesen Fluges erschien uns zeitlich als ein zu großes Risiko. Unser Fachmann für gesundes Sitzen, Dr. Helmut Reinhardt, Geschäftsführer des Ergonomiefachhändlers ERGO Kontor, stellt sich vor und Andreas bekommt erst einmal erklärt, dass es bei Dr. Reinhardts Geschäft nicht um ein therapeutisches Zentrum sondern um einen Fachgeschäft mit auserlesenen Produkten rund um das Thema gesundes Arbeiten handelt. Herr Reinhardt stellt das Konzept vor, welches ihn seit 20 Jahren fesselt und begeistert: Das BIOSWING-Prinzip. Das Schmuckstück in Puncto “Sitzen”, welches er in seinem Fachhandel besitzt ist der Bioswing Stuhl. Patrick pauschalisiert gleich daraufhin erst einmal, dass ja alle Übercasthörer auch Sitzarbeiter sind und angeregt durch den Vielfliegerpodcast gewillt seien mögen, sich mit einer Neuanschaffung für den Allerwertesten auseinanderzusetzen. Dr. Reinhardt erklärt uns, dass der Körper bereits weiß was er will und was gut für ihn ist. Ein Bürostuhl sollte folglich mehr Werkzeug, als reines Dekormöbel sein. Herr Reinhardt kritisiert, dass man als Arbeitnehmer meist zu wenig Mitspracherecht hat, wenn es um an die Gestaltung eines körpergerechtes Arbeitsplatzes geht, obgleich durch besseres Equipment eine bessere (Arbeits)Leistung erzielt werden könne. Wenn der Körper besser am Leben gehalten wird, das heißt durch ausreichende Bewegung mit mehr Sauerstoff versorgt wird, kann der reguläre “Stillstand” für welchen ein normaler Bürostuhl sorgt, vermieden werden. Zugleich gibt Herr Reinhardt Patrick ein Stichwort, indem er den Vergleich anstellt, dass dieses verbale schmackhaft machen des Bioswings sei ähnlich erfolgsversprechend, wie als würde er versuchen uns ein gutes Essen zu schildern. Patrick gibt zu, dass Herr Reinhardt ihn ja schon einmal ein 5-Gänge Menü kredenzt hat…. Denn es stellt sich heraus, dass Patrick ein überzeugter Bioswinger ist. In der Tat ist selber probieren (also Testsitzen in diesem Falle) die beste Möglichkeit sich von dem neuen Sitzgefühl des Stuhls zu überzeugen. Zu einer der ersten Lektionen in Sachen Bioswing gehört übrigens “das Sambatanzen”, welches Herr Reinhardt in der Bundesallee 201 in seinem Berliner Laden unterrichtet. Seitdem kreist Patrick täglich mit den Hüften bei der Arbeit auf seinem Stuhl. Eine kleine Demo von Patrick in Form eines GFYs gibt’s sofort, jetzt und hier. Die Geschichte mit einer Hüfte die sich frei bewegen kann auf dem Arbeitsstuhl lässt auch Andreas probeweise kreisen auf seinem Pilotensessel und Herr Reinhardt fügt erklärend hinzu, dass durch Bewegung genügend Sauerstoff in den Blutkreislauf kommt. Heruntergerechnet auf den kleinsten Nenner ergibt sich: Eine Bewegung des Körpers ist immer eine Schwingung. Auch dazu ein anschauliches GFY (ohne Patrick). Aus seiner Erfahrung und Gesprächen mit Physiotherapeuten und Sportprofis stimmt Andreas zu, dass eine starre Sitzposition suboptimal ist. Beide einigen sich darauf, dass Bewegung grundsätzlich das A und O ist. Dr. Reinhardt führt an, dass der Bioswing Stuhl dem Nutzer dient, als auch, dass das Prinzip ähnlich dem ist des Recyclings. Der Stuhl gibt die kleinste Bewegungen des Körpers zurück. Das wir versuchen auf den Körper zu hören, der Kopf aber versucht den Körper von seinen Eigenen Erkenntnissen zu überzeugen ist nicht nur Andreas seine Erfahrung, Patrick nickt im Stillen mit und denkt an sein altes Skript, welchen ihn alle 2 Stunden per Growl dazu auffordern zu kontrollieren, ob er gerade sitzt und nicht seine Füße unter die Schenkel klemmt. Das wir uns selbst viele Vorschriften machen und eine Neigung zum Besserwissertum haben, wenn es um den eigenen Körper geht wird von Dr. Reinhardt bejaht. Er vertritt den Standpunkt “einfach zuzulassen, was der Körper will”. Die Bioswingstühle seien da im Gegensatz zum eigenen Kopf ein Paradebeispiel: Sie machen im Prinzip nichts, außer das sie die Bewegungen des Körpers zulassen. Verschiedene Menschen bewegen sich zu unterschiedlichen Zeiten immer anders. Dies knüpft nahtlos an die Erkenntnis an, dass “der Körper ist so wie er ist, und immer wieder anders.” Als alter Knauser kommt Patrick noch einmal die Sparalternative ‘Sitzball’ zu sprechen. Dr. Reinhardt für seinen Teil liebt Bälle. Aber stellt klar, das diese eher ein Trainingsgerät sind. Man muss Energie aufwenden, um die Balance zu halten und sich auf das Sitzen zu konzentrieren. Kein beiläufiges Sitzen sei möglich. Abschließend zu diesem Themenblock wird unser Gast standesgemäß verabschiedet. Richtiggestellt sei jedoch noch, dass das von Patrick in der Show und während des Fluges angemerkte Video zum Bioswing jedoch zum Thema Rückenschmerzen ist und nicht ausschließlich dem Stuhl gewidmet ist. Nichts desto trotz hier noch einmal die wichtigsten Links für Bioswing-Interessierte: ERGO Kontor Rückenforum und BIOSWING Studio Berlin - Sitzen Sie gut, oder suchen Sie noch? YouTube: Christof Otte bei der Gesundheitslounge Berlin - Thema Rückenschmerzen YouTube: BMW 2011: Haider Bioswing ← mit ein wenig Samba. Warum sich den Kopf zerbrechen? Stühle die der Gesundheit förderlich sind die eine Sache. Andreas greift Dr. Reinhards Aussagen auf und merkt das eigentlich wichtige an: Modernes Arbeiten zwingt den Arbeitnehmer zur sitzenden Tätigkeit, wobei der Körper seit jeher darauf konditioniert ist sich zu bewegen. Ein Paradoxon an sich aus dem folgt, dass unser Körper sich nicht erfreut zeigt mit der statischen Rolle und mit Schmerz früher oder später antwortet. Das Gefährliche ist nach Andreas auch, dass wir verlernen können auf unseren Körper und dessen Bedürfnisse zu hören. So übergehen wir häufig bereits vorhandene Verspannungen oder fehlerhafte Körper- & Sitzhaltung. Wie auch von Dr. Reinhardt bereits angemerkt, hält sich unser Kopf oft für schlauer und denkt “er weiß es besser”. Zur Korrektur der eigenen Schlauheit schlägt Andreas geeignetes Sitzmöbel (oder frei nach Dr. Reinhardt ‘Sitzwerkzeuge’) vor, Übungen und mehr sportliche Aktivitäten. Tischlein deck dich Bevor es jedoch weiter geht Richtung Gesundheitsrituale und -aktivitäten, leitet Sven noch unser Komplementärthema zum Stuhl ein. Irgendwie kommt er dabei auf die in Übersee so populären Tische mit Laufband zu sprechen. Und genau das ruft natürlich wieder die Kritiker der frühsten Stunde auf die Matte. Das Laufen und Denken mehr Energie verschleißt und Konzentration verpulvert, davon ist Patrick nach dem Sitzballbeispiel von Dr. Reinhardt überzeugt. Insofern gibt es da bei ihm keine Pluspunkte für so einen Hamsterradtisch zu holen. Andreas kann sich das ganze ebensowenig vorstellen und selbst Sven steckt die konstruktive Kritik an und er stimmt ein in den Chor. Dazu merkt er noch an, dass es bei Arbeitsunfällen versicherungstechnisch wohl in Deutschland bedenklich wird, würde man ungewollt einen Seemannsköpper auf einem solchen Laufband-Tisch hinlegen. Jedoch gesteht unser Sven ein, dass er den Bewegungsdrang bei der Arbeit kennt und diesem auch in einem speziellen Fall nachgibt: Telefonkonferenzen bei denen reines Zuhören angesagt ist - untertitelt mit “WebEx-Radio” von Sven - verbringt dieser im Home-Office auf dem Spinning Rad. Bei dieser passiveren Tätigkeit an der Hörmuschel gibt es von ihm ein okay für mehr Bewegung; jedoch kann er sich nicht vorstellen in die Fussstapfen von Skripting-Guru Brett Terpstra zu treten. Glücklicherweise gibt es jedoch auch Tische ohne Laufband. Sven stellt den StandDesk vor, welcher dank einer Kickstarter Kampagne alle Erwartungen über die eigene finanzielle Zukunft übertroffen hat und nun erhobenen Hauptes auf dem Weg hin zur anlaufenden Serienproduktion ist. Kernkennzeichen dieses Tisches ist, das er die sonst teure Option der regulierbaren Tischhöhe gut, günstig und durchdacht schon ab 399 USD an den Mann bringt. Der StandDesk hat auch Patricks Aufmerksamkeit vor einiger Zeit erregt, so dass er sich eine Kostenübersicht für eine Konfiguration nach seinen Wünschen wie folgt zusammengestellt hat: Frame: matte black Control: standard Extras: cable management tray Desk surface: bamboo (oder midnight black) Der ermittelte Preis lag dann bei um die 700 EUR, was wohl immer noch gut ist. Hauptverantwortlich gemacht für den Preissprung werden die von Patrick benötigte größere Tischplatte, denn in der normalen/kleinsten Version beträgt diese 125,7 cm x 59,69 cm. Die maximale Größe für den Standdesk ist mit 177,8 cm x 101,6 cm angegeben. Was der Unterschied zwischen dem Standard und dem Deluxe Rahmen ist weiß Patrick nicht, stellt aber am Rande noch den iMove C von Leuwico vor (1.349 EUR) und weißt darauf hin, dass es bei Ergo Kontor auch schon höhenverstellbare Tische ab 700 EUR gibt. Zu letzterem Angebot sei noch angemerkt, dass es sich wahrscheinlich um den Nettopreis handelt; auch über die Größe der Tischplatte kann Patrick nichts mehr sagen und verweist darauf bei Interesse Kontakt zu Dr. Reinhard aufzunehmen. Auf dessen Website gibt es auch einen kleinen Leitfaden zur Steh-Sitz-Dynamik: Zwei bis vier Haltungswechsel pro Stunde Kurz und oft aufstehen Stehphasen nicht länger als 20 Minuten Statisches Stehen vermeiden Wie Patrick gelernt hat, gilt beim Stehtisch dasselbe wie beim Sitzen auf einem Stuhl. Das heißt, niemals immer die gleiche Position aus dem Preset nehmen, sondern auf das Hören auf was der Körper eigentlich will. Dieser sucht sich die ihm genehme Höhe aus. Anbei noch ein paar Links für die Heimwerker unter euch und alle die sich einen Stehtisch basteln möchten: Apartment Therapy: Making Your Own Standing Desk: The Best of Both Worlds? IKEA Hackers: Wide Standing Desk Nicht DIY, aber eine gute Übersicht ==> The Wirecutter: The Best Standing Desks DAS Luxusmodell schlechthin ist auch dabei ==> YouTube: Standing Desk Review - Here’s Why the Anthro Elevate Adjusta is my Favorite Standing Desk Möge die Macht der Gewohnheit mit dir sein Lukas Da dieser kleine Leitfaden auch an Andreas Ausführungen zum überschlauen Kopf des Menschen nahtlos anknüpft, fragt Sven in die Runde wie man sich denn die positiven Maßnahmen hin zum körperfreundlicheren Arbeiten merken kann. »So natürlich wie möglich! Möglichst ohne Geräte, möglichst ohne Technik sollte das ganze funktionieren.« … ist die direkte An- und Aussage von unserem routinierten Fitness-Piloten Andreas. Seine Gegenmaßnahmen und Ausgleichsübungen sind mittlerweile tief in seinem Bewusstsein verankert. Zu dieser Regelmäßigkeit von Angewohnheiten ist er anfangs jedoch auch mit Hilfsmittel gekommen, einige von diesen begleiten ihn auch heute noch. Anfangs benutzte Andreas Pauses auf seinem Mac, welches nach einem voreingestellten Intervall Keyboard und Maus sperrt und einen durch dieses rabiate Vorgehen daran erinnert, dass man eigentlich Besserung gelobt hat und sich nun Bewegen sollte. Auch wenn Andreas oft die ihm auferlegte Sperre weggedrückt hat, so stellte sich über die Zeit hinweg ein Lernprozess ein. Herr Zeitler erinnerte sich daran, warum er diese App überhaupt installiert hatte und beschreitet von da an die forcierte Pause – dem Rücken und der Gesundheit zuliebe. Einen ähnlichen Ansatz hatte Patrick zu seiner Anfangszeit der Routinenfestigung, wenngleich der seinige nicht ganz so brutal daherkam. Bei ihm kam mittels Keyboard Maestro Macros alle 60 Minuten die bildschirmfüllende Frage, ob er aufrecht sitzt. Zudem noch alle 60 Minuten eine Aufforderung 10 x tief und bewusst einzuatmen und alle 90 Minuten die Befehl sich nicht ablenken zu lassen. Feldwebel Fechner hakt direkt ein und gibt in feinstem Militärjargon mit einer Prise Vulgarität wieder, wie er sich diese Growlnachricht vorgestellt: “Beine auseinander, Welker!” … wenn da mal nicht verbal die Seife beim Duschen auf den Boden geklatscht ist. Eine weitere App aus Andreas Fundus ist Stretch. Es gibt keine direkte Empfehlung von Andreas, da der Kontakt zum Entwickler quasi nicht möglich ist zurzeit…. Was die Redaktion bei der Suche nach einem Link für die Passagiere noch entdeckt hat ist dieses Fundstück – ein 2-Sterne Review aus dem US Mac App Store: I love the idea for the app. Functions well. However, this is completely innappropriate for use in a professional setting. The model is wearing skimpy outfits in some of the stretches (super short and tight skirts, cleavage showing). I wanted to use this in the office but I would be so embarrassed if someone saw my screen. Andreas kann die Aussagen der Review bestätigen, doch allen Warnungen zum trotz regt Sven ihn zur Live-Demonstration von Yoga-Übungen an. Dieser lässt sich nicht lumpen und seine Co-Piloten steigen sofort unter Schmerzensschreien mit in die Bordgymnastik ein: Link zum Bild Weitere Empfehlungen von Andreas: Buch: Werde ein geschmeidiger Leopard: Die sportliche Leistung verbessern, Verletzungen vermeiden und Schmerzen lindern Video: Quarks & Co Natürliche Bewegungen, Haltungswechsel Muskeldehnungen Massagerolle Denken Positives Denken vs. Negatives Denken Der Körper ist eine eigene Intelligenz Zum Thema aktive Gegenmaßnahmen und Workflows hat Sven sich dem Energy Project von Tony Schwartz verschrieben. Er arbeiten in 90 Minuten-Power-Sessions, um sich dann seine wohlverdiente Pause abzuholen. Eine kurze Zusammenfassung von Sven zum Energy Project und The Power of Habit: Es gibt vier Kernbereiche, die adressiert und in Einklang seien müssen: 1. Physisches Wohlbefinden (Gesundheit und Fitness) 2. Emotionales Wohlbefinden (“Glücklich sein”) 3. Mentales Wohlbefinden (In der Lage zu seien zu fokussieren) 4. Spirituelles Wohlbefinden (“Sinnhaftigkeit” und Überzeugung der Tätigkeit) Hochleistung wechselt sich mit Erholungsphasen wellenförmig ab: 90 Minuten eine Aufgabe und dann eine bewusste Pause. Essen ist sehr wichtig: Schnelle Kohlenhydrate vermeiden (Zucker, Weissmehl, …) damit man keine Blutzuckerachterbahn erlebt, mit Koffein haushalten (Schwarzer Tee hat MEHR Koffein als ein Espresso!), viel Wasser trinken, Protein-haltige Snacks Schlaf ist essentiell (95% der Menschen brauchen 7-8 Stunden regelmäßig; idealerweise stets zur selben Zeit) Kurzer 20 Minuten “Nap” zwischen 13-15 Uhr gibt nochmals Schub für den Nachmittag. Es kommt nicht auf die Anzahl der Stunden an, sondern auf die Energie, die man in eine Aufgabe zu stecken in der Lage ist. Multi-tasking funktioniert nicht (welch’ Neuigkeit!) — im Gegenteil: Bei “Multi-Tasking”, besser bekannt als “Fast Task Switching” braucht man pro Aufgabe Minimum 25% länger. Wer mehr Details haben möchte dem sei hiermit der passende Podcast zur Zusammenfassung ans Herz gelegt (Der Ubercast, Folge 4). Des weiteren empfiehlt Sven noch die Extralektüre “Be Excellent at Anything” (wovon leider keine deutsche Version verfügbar ist). Der dritte im Bunde, welcher seine Gewohnheiten zum besten gibt ist Patrick, dessen Tag im Idealfall mit 2 Wassergläsern, Yoga und ein wenig Sport anfängt. Dabei schwört er nicht zu 100% auf die “Seinfeld Strategy“, sondern auf eine individuell angepasste Variante, welche auch kleine Abweichungen und Fehler verzeiht. Normalerweise setzt man sich ein Ziel und streicht es dann pro Kalendertag nach Erledigung ab, um so seine “Siegeskette” immer weiter zu verlängern. Sofern aber der Kopf überzeugt ist und der Körper die Ergebnisse liefert (ob früher oder später), kann man nach Patrick damit lockerer verfahren und muss nicht so streng sein. Dadurch vermeidet er mit seiner abgewandelten Variante allzu negative Assoziationen des Versagens für den Fall, dass einmal die Kette unterbrochen wird. Die App, welcher Patrick und auch Sven den Vorzug geben heißt Habit List. In dieser lassen sich flexibel Listen anlegen, unter anderem auch nach einem Schema à la ‘erinnere mich 3x wöchentlich X zu erledigen, aber bloß nicht am Wochenende’. Andreas hat eine ähnliche App parat, welche auf den Namen Goal Streaks hört. In seine Meditationrhythmen gibt Andreas noch geheime Einblicke. Die sind aber so geheim, dass die Redaktion erneut bereits erwähnten Podcast empfiehlt, wo es dann auch mehr saftige Details gibt. Diese Empfehlung wird natürlich nicht nur ausgesprochen aus dem Grund den Show Notes nun ein Ende zu bereiten. Zum Abschluss sei noch der von Andreas auf den Punkt gebrachte Satz hervorgehoben, dass jeder seinen eigenen Weg finden muss Gewohnheiten zu festigen und man sich nicht an strikt an ein vielversprechendes Schema klammert. In Spenderlaune? Wir haben Flattr und PayPal am Start und würden uns freuen.
