Podcast appearances and mentions of bill tanner

Glen Hill guest hosting. Herman & McBean, Don Cox, Bill Tanner and Mark Moseley are in the studio.

One of the biggest drains on your time (and productivity) is a disorganized workspace. This week, I'm sharing some ideas for getting organised so you can find what you need when you need it.  You can subscribe to this podcast on: Podbean | Apple Podcasts | Stitcher | Spotify | TUNEIN   Links: Email Me | Twitter | Facebook | Website | Linkedin   Get Your Copy Of Your Time, Your Way: Time Well Managed, Life Well Lived Subscribe to my Substack  Take The NEW COD Course The Working With… Weekly Newsletter Carl Pullein Learning Centre Carl's YouTube Channel Carl Pullein Coaching Programmes The Working With… Podcast Previous episodes page   Script | 340 Hello, and welcome to episode 340 of the Your Time, Your Way Podcast. A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show. I remember watching videos by David Allen—author of Getting Things Done—where he explains the importance of having an organised workspace.  These videos were recorded before the digital takeover, yet the principles remain the same whether we deal with paper or digital documents.  If your stuff is all over the place, you will waste a lot of time trying to find what you need, and it's surprising how much time you lose.  This week's question caught my attention, as getting and keeping your workspace organised is an overlooked part of the modern productivity movement. It won't matter how clever your digital tools are if you don't know where everything is or how to organise your notes so you can find what you need when you need it in seconds. You'll still waste much time doing stuff you shouldn't need to do.  As I researched this, I could only find advice on keeping desks and physical files, notes, and documents organised. There is little advice on keeping a digital workspace clean and organised. Well, that is apart from some older articles about how an untidy computer desktop slows down your computer and makes finding anything slow and cumbersome.  Now before I go further, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question. This week's question comes from Alice. Alice asks, Hi Carl, How do you keep all your files, notes and other digital things organised? I'm really struggling here and would love some advice. Hi Alice, thank you for your question. One of the first things you will need to do is allocate a single place for your digital documents. Today, most people are comfortable storing all their personal files in a cloud storage system, such as Google Docs, Microsoft OneDrive, or Apple's iCloud.  If you are concerned about security, an external hard drive also works. Now, just as before the 2000s, you will likely have two places: one for work and one for your personal stuff. Your company will probably dictate your work storage system.  The important thing about storing documents and files you may need is accessibility—i.e., how fast you can access the files.  In the past, if we wanted a file for a client named Rogers, we would go to the filing cabinet, locate the letter R, and find the file for Rogers there. If it wasn't there, one of our colleagues probably had it. (And how frustrating was that)  Today, all you need to do is open iCloud, One Drive or Google Drive and type in the name of the client you are looking for. You will then be presented with a list of all the documents related to that client. And perhaps you may already be seeing a problem.  In the past, everything was kept together in a single file folder; today, client notes can be found everywhere. We have CRM systems (Customer Relationship Management software) that track communications with customers and clients. However, these are only as good as those who enter the data.  We receive phone calls, emails, perhaps text messages, and all the documentation generated by orders, invoices, and quotes. If the people entering the data are not timely and perfect, time can be wasted just looking for all that stuff. Those CRM systems may track documents related to that client, which makes things a little easier. But do you trust them?  So, how can you keep your workspace organised and in order?  First, choose your tools. Your calendar and email will likely already be selected for you in your professional environment. Fortunately, you should have freedom over your task manager and notes app.  Rule number one. Use only one.  By this, I mean one task manager, one notes app and one calendar. Now, it is okay to use a separate calendar for your work events; after all, you may only be able to access your work calendar through selected devices. I would always advise you to try to connect your work calendar to your personal one where possible.  By this, I mean that if you use a Google or Apple calendar for your personal life, you can subscribe to your work calendar. Not all companies allow this, but I've found that most do.  This way, you have all your events viewable in one place. (Wasn't life easier when we all carried our own diaries? No interference from outsiders)  Your to-do list and notes, however, are entirely within your realm. Avoid the temptation of using your work's Microsoft To-Do or Trello. You want to have your complete life together, not scattered everywhere.  You may need to call a client early in the morning, and if all the details are separated on your work's system, that call could easily be missed. Similarly, you may need to contact your bank. If that task is on a personal system, unless you look at that system in your lunch break, you're going to miss it.  Now here's a quick tip. Use a daily note.  A daily note is a note you create each day to capture meeting notes, ideas, things to look up, and other useful bits of information. Each note's title is today's date.  As you create a new note each day, you have a reference—the date. If you number each item you add to the daily note, you now have a transferable reference to link to tasks and calendar events.  For example, imagine I captured an idea for a YouTube video, added it to my daily note, and assigned it the number 1.  That means the reference number for that idea is today's date plus 1. I can use that reference for any task or project from that idea. You can go one step further by adding a link to the note for your task, so all you need to do is click the link and boom, you are right where you need to be.  I would also advise you to keep your digital notes separate from work. I once had a client who was a university professor. She used her university's OneNote to organise all her research notes.  She then left that university, and within two or three hours of leaving, the system's organiser deleted all her notes. Seven years of research gone in seconds.  Of course, you should keep confidential information off your personal devices, but a large part of what we keep in notes is not confidential and is usually meeting notes, ideas, and possible solutions to difficult problems.  Once you have your tools and storage places sorted, it comes down to making sure what you need when you need it is quickly accessible.  To do that, learn how to search your computer. On Apple devices, this means learning to use Spotlight. It's a powerful tool that means I can find coaching client feedback simply by typing their name into the search box. I can also find digital copies of my passport, car insurance, residency permits and my address in Korean (I find it's faster to copy/paste than to type in Korean)  Everything I need frequently is instantly to hand.  And that's another reference to the pre-2000s. An optimised workspace meant that you had the files you were working on and anything else you needed quick access to within arms reach of your desk.  Anything you didn't need was stored in filing cabinets a few steps away from you.  There's the famous picture of Rose-Mary Woods, President Nixon's secretary, demonstrating how she accidentally erased 18 minutes of the tape recordings during the Watergate investigation. If you Google the picture, you can see that everything a secretary would need was on her desk or next to it (or rather coincidently, within arms reach) For Windows computers, look up Universal Search. That will explain how you can search for everything on your computer from a single place.  The final part of the puzzle is file naming.  For years, I've used a file name system that includes the date, the file type, and the name. For example, if I had a client named Bill Tanner and wrote a proposal for him, the proposal title would be 2024-09-25-proposal-Bill Tanner.  If I need to amend the proposal, I would change the date. This way, when I search Bill Tanner, I will see all the proposals I have written grouped together.  I've found that adding version numbers to the title doesn't work either, and it's not as easy to get to the latest document. Searching by date puts the very latest version on top every time.  And I do still recommend keeping your desktop clean. A cluttered desktop causes distraction. A clean desktop helps maintain focus.  Now, before I finish, I should mention your phone. This can be a complete mess. I was in the bank the other day, and some twenty-somethings were opening an account. All they had with them was their phones, yet when the bank clerk asked them for different documents, they took ages to find the information on their phones.  Rather amusingly, an elderly gentleman, armed with a plastic wallet of essential documents, completed his business at the bank far faster than those twenty-somethings.  When the clerk asked him for a document, he pulled it out and handed it over instantly. It was a real eye-opener for me. Perhaps paper is faster than digital… Sometimes.  What I've learned is to keep all your frequently used apps on your Home Screen. Learn how to use widgets—they can be a real-time saver when you need them.  Oh, and one more: when flying, use your airline's app. Place it on your Home Screen. It's incredible how often you need that at the airport or in a taxi when they ask you which terminal you need to go to.  And there you go, Alice. I hope that has helped.  It comes down to doing a little cleaning up and getting your important files and apps where you need them. Remember, it's all about accessibility.  Thank you, Alice, for your question, and thank you for listening. It just remains for me now to wish you all a very, very productive week.   

Neil Rogers last Friday show on WINZ. In the studio are The Bird, Stan, Lee, Jay Michaels, and David Caprita who has to leave for an audition, and others. The premiere of "On the Phone Again".

Do You Expect Us To Talk makes another Bond pitstop with the last of the Craig films (until No Time to Die that is). Quantum of Solace is the follow up to Casino Royale, that picks straight up where we left Bond, capturing Mr White. As MI6 discovers members of the mysterious Quantum organisation have infiltrated everywhere including M16 themselves, Bond follows a lead that takes him to the environmentalist Dominic Greene, as he finds closure after the events of the last film. Listen to Becca, Dave and Chris as we talk through the movie and discuss is the movie that bad, the correct length of Daniel Craig's hair, the need for a good henchman, the actual friendship with Bill Tanner, the quality of editing and the best road sweeping technique. You can follow us on Becca, Chris and Dave on Twitter You can find us on iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher and Google Podcasts, all you have to do is search.

11:00AM-1:00PM hours Neil on WINZ - more Save Our First Amendment Rights (SOFAR) talk. Bill Tanner from WPOW calls in.

Bill and I discuss...honestly, I can't remember what we discuss because I edited this awhile ago and Bill and I text and talk a lot and it's all a big jumbled mess... I do remember that we take a deep dive into the classic thriller, Silence of the Lambs, and discuss, among other things, that when it comes to learning about how not to other--we are all Jack Crawford. Also, I do a fair number of impressions, so...

Neil with Tom Jicha talking about radio on WINZ. Steve Kane is sitting out his 3-month non-compete with WNWS but gets back on the radio by calling Neil to promote his move to WIOD in July. Greg Budell (sitting out like Kane), and Bill Tanner call in with exceptional comments.

It's the Saturday Neil Rogers Show. For some reason he lets Fruit Cake sit in for the whole show. Bob Lassiter on the phone as some kind of expert. Lee Fowler, the SOFAR campaign, Bill Tanner, and other radio celebrities call.

Hello dear viewers, It's spring time; a moment of rebirth for nature as our days get longer, the weather nice and the snow slowly melts away here in Montreal. The perfect time to get in shape, change your wardrobe, learn new skills. To achieve these new goals, Bond fans of the sixties had "The Book Of Bond". A book written by Bill Tanner himself that gives wannabe secret agents the essential know-how to possibly become the next member of the 00-section. Yeah... Right! This short tongue-in-cheek book was actually written by one time continuation author Kinglsey Amis and is a humorous look at James Bond, his skills, abilities and personal taste. Is this long out of print book a lost gem or plain ol' claptrap.

In this episode, we talk about women of the leisure class, kids with cholera, volunteerism, the movie Garden State (fast forward that part if you liked that movie

This week Gar does a deep-dive into the security of the COVIDSafe app with the CIO of Allens, Bill Tanner. Bill has over 12 years experience in the legal industry and has some unique insights on the COVIDSafe app that were gained from evaluating the app for his staff. Bill shares his thoughts and experiences from attending a recent app teardown session conducted by Geoffrey Huntley, who is leading a local research group on COVIDSafe security and privacy. Gar and Bill explore exactly what the app does and doesn't do, the privacy concerns as well as the legal issues surrounding it. Security research on the COVIDSafe app: https://covidsafe.watch/ Links to some great articles and research from Allens on the COVIDSafe app COVIDSafe: What we now know: https://bit.ly/361Jozo COVIDSafe Bill: Good progress but theres more to do: https://bit.ly/2yWNrRu

In this week’s episode of Out of Curiosity with kt mather, I Circle Back with fan favorite Bill Tanner for a typical kt and BT rambler. We discuss my week of small town power-politicking, Bill’s love for Nike Air Jordans (and his inability to give himself permission to buy them), unity amongst Democrats (not going well), color bravery vs  color blindness, accidentally watching Fire Walk with Me with your mom (and as Catholics), pin-up calendars, the great job assholes like Rush Limbaugh did making Feminism a dirty word (it’s still not going to stop us...), 80s hair and swimsuits, plus a deep dive into the Feminist sailing documentary Maiden about the first all-female crew in the Whitbread Round the World race. Note: do yourself a favor and watch the doc before you listen. It’s REALLY SO GOOD!!!

BT and I chat about kitsch, Midnight Oil, a masculinity that draws us closer to humanity, Julia Roberts dancing to Brown Eyed Girl, using dark humor to cope with suffering, death, and Lester Bangs on Van Morrison's Astral Weeks.

Summer Picnics and Veterans: Don Parsons, from the American Legion Post 218, and Bill Tanner from the Colusa VFW join Lloyd and Hayley to discuss the upcoming Veterans BBQ, and their Veterans Organizations.

This week, the delightful Bill Tanner! We discuss sports, aging, shitty jobs, bbqs, coffee roasting, vulnerability, the fate of bananas, the difference between abuse and manipulation in coaching, and one of our fave ice hockey movies, Miracle.

"HOLD THE PRESSES! This just in..." Episode 19 of The Words Are Not Enough is a Bond 25 Emergency News Update!In this episode Griffin (@griffschiller) and Brody (@brodyserravalli) discuss the following:1. Bond 25 has found a DP* Earlier in the week, Variety's Kristopher Tapley broke the story that Academy Award-winning Swedish DP, Linus Sandgren (best know for La La Land and First Man) will be joining Bond 25 as Director of Photography, saying "It appears Linus Sandgren is shooting the next Bond". IndieWire has now confirmed this story, citing Sandgren himself as their source. 2. Seydoux to return* The Daily Mail's Baz Bamigboye reported that Cary Fukunaga had confirmed Lea Seydoux's return to the franchise, offering the concise comment "Lea will be returning".* Variety's Justin Kroll then corroborated Bamigboye's reporting, stating that a source had confirmed the story to Variety. * What this return could mean for 25 (continuation of Spectre's story) * What kind of role will Madeleine play in the movie (OHMSS-style death speculated among fans) - we weigh in * Confirms that Monica Bellucci probably won't be returning as rumoured (although does confirm they were looking to bring a Bond girl back for 25 - something Barbara Broccoli has been trying to do since TND)3. Casting call for two women and a villain* Kroll also reported that "EON is looking for two other actresses - one would play an MI6 agent who works with Bond and another, a mystery woman - as well as the Bond villain."* Alleged insiders then added that "Rami Malek was being eyed for the [villain] role, but his schedule on the last season of Mr Robot, which shoots from March through July, makes it unlikely he will be able to take the gig, even if EON offered him the part". * Does this mean Blofelwill not be returning as the villain?4. Harris, Whishaw, and Fiennes to return* In his conversation with Cary Fukunaga, Baz Bamigboye also confirmed that Ralph Fiennes, Ben Whishaw, and Naomi Harris would be returning as M, Q, and Moneypenny respectively. Cary seemed eager to work with the returning crew and the rest of the British talent likely to fill out the cast saying "You have some of the best actors in the world here, why wouldn't I have the best coming back?!" * Interesting that Rory Kinnear as Bill Tanner was not included in that list of MI6 regulars returning as he has been a staple of the Craig era Vauxhall.5. Cary Fukunaga suggested to be writing Bond 25 in addition to directing* In Justin Kroll's Variety piece, Cary Fukunaga is reported to now be writing Bond 25. In the article, Fukunaga is listed as the sole writer two times and no reference is made to any other writers. Bamigboye suggested that Purvis and Wade were on-board to write and that Fukunaga was having "major input" in the direction of the script, but this does not appear to have been based off of new information obtained during his interview with Fukunaga. It is very likely Bamigboye is basing this off of the uncited rumour that Bond 25 would be going back to using the Purvis and Wade treatment following John Hodge's departure. Fukunaga rewriting the film lines up with his earlier comments from last week about the film still being written. * Confirms earlier story that EON were looking for a writer/director for Bond 25 * If Purvis and Wade are in fact out - were EON looking for a writer/director because they were keen to rewrite/replace their original treatment6. Norway as a Bond 25 filming location* Norwegian outlet, Bergens Tidende, has reported that a filmed dubbed "B25" has applied for a 25% subsidy of costs intensive for filming in Noway. This was then corroborated by Norwegian film commissioner Adrian Mitchell who spoke to Oslo newspaper, Dagsavisen, and said the following "I can confirm that we have been in contact with... --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-words-are-not-enough/support

Michael Berkeley's guest is the actor Rory Kinnear. Rory Kinnear is in danger of becoming a national treasure. Audiences across the world know him thanks to two Bond movies, where he plays M15 officer Bill Tanner. He was the journalist in the TV thriller Southcliffe, he was Denis Thatcher in the Margaret Thatcher TV biopic, he's the straight man to Count Arthur Strong... And he's established a reputation as one of our finest Shakespearean actors - his performance as Hamlet at the National Theatre was screened across the UK as part of the National's 50th anniversary celebrations. This summer he played an unforgettably chilling Iago to Adrian Lester's Othello, again at the National. And he's just turned playwright - his first play, The Herd, directed by Howard Davies, has opened in London. He's a difficult actor to pin down. But in conversation with Michael Berkeley he reveals the man behind the theatrical mask. He talks movingly about his father, the actor Roy Kinnear, who was killed during a film stunt, and how he kept sane after the accident by playing the piano. Rory still plays in rehearsal rooms across the world, grabbing his chance at the piano while the other actors eat lunch. He reveals too that music is the key to his relationship with his sister, who was born with profound disabilities; Rory composes music for her, and plays songs as a way of communicating with her. He works increasingly with musicians, at the Proms last year, and in recordings. And, be warned, every morning he walks across London listening to music on his huge headphones - and singing along at the top of his voice. Music choices include Mark Padmore singing Bach, Haydn's Trumpet Concerto, a Beethoven violin sonata, Erroll Garner, and Big Rock Candy Mountain. First broadcast 13/10/2013.
