Tactics for cultivating your attention—and then managing it daily. The post Podcast: Tactics for managing your attention appeared first on Chris Bailey.

2 Corinthians 9:8 says, “And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.” So, there's a facet of the grace of God that launches us into a life of abundance and generosity. The question is, “How do we cooperate with that grace?” The first place we start is what God told us to do with the first. Support the show

How to think about and tactically overcome distraction. The post Podcast: Overcoming Distraction appeared first on Chris Bailey.

La temperatura era helada: diez grados bajo cero. El viento era fuerte: cuarenta kilómetros por hora. No era tiempo propicio para esquiar. Pero la señora Chris Bailey quiso de todos modos subir a la montaña. Así que llevó a su pequeña hija, Ángela, de cinco años, y las dos subieron al telesquí y empezaron el ascenso. A la mitad del trayecto, y a veinte metros de altura, la silla en que subían perdió un soporte. La niña se desprendió de la madre y quedó colgando, sostenida de un solo brazo. La tragedia era inminente. Cinco minutos más, y la niña caería del telesquí. Fue entonces que intervino Samuel Durán, valiente joven de diecisiete años. Trepó como un gato por los hierros de la torre de sostén, se aferró del cable y, desollándose las manos con los alambres, bajó diez metros hasta donde colgaba la niña, y la salvó. La madre, agradecida, expresó su sentimiento con una oración: «Gracias, Padre celestial, por el valor de este joven.» Esta cuasi tragedia, que no llegó a ser, ocurrió en las montañas de Utah, al comienzo del invierno de 1990. Fue notable la decisión de Samuel Durán de trepar hasta la torre de sostén del cable, deslizarse por el cable mismo, y cobrar fuerza suficiente para rescatar a la pequeña. Y la expresión de la madre tenía su razón de ser. «Gracias, Padre celestial, por el valor de este joven.» Porque Samuel era un joven tímido, apocado. No había sobresalido ni en el deporte, ni en los estudios ni en ninguna actividad social. Sus conocidos lo habían tenido siempre por «poca cosa». Pero nadie sabe cuánto puede obrar el poder de la voluntad cuando ésta se necesita. Samuel sintió con urgencia que la salvación de Ángela dependía sólo de él. Si él no la salvaba, la niña moriría. Dios es esa fuerza imponderable que actúa en los seres humanos en el momento de necesidad. El hombre moderno, intelectual y complejo ha desalojado a Dios de su vida. No lo toma en cuenta, ni siquiera cuando lo necesita. Por eso vive en tensión continua, en frustración y en depresión. Todos necesitamos con urgencia buscar a Cristo, fuente de verdad, luz y vida. Él es quien da libremente el socorro. Cristo está, ciertamente, en las páginas de la Biblia, pero está también al lado del que lo busca. Él desea ser nuestro Libertador. Permitamos que Él nos salve y nos dé su paz. Hermano PabloUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net

What we carry around when we're on the go and want to get stuff done. The post Podcast: Everyday Carry appeared first on Chris Bailey.

Brisbane, Australia's The Saints are responsible for two of the greatest punk albums of all time, in 1977's '(I'm) Stranded' and 1978's 'Eternally Yours.' This November, look for “The Saints '73-‘78” to be touring North America, featuring original members Ed Kuepper and Ivor Hay, along with The Birthday Party's Mick Harvey, the Sunnyboys' Peter Oxley and Mudhoney's Mark Arm, in service of original lead singer Chris Bailey, lost to us in 2022. Additionally, there's a four-LP boxset version of the milestone debut album out, as well as a new solo album from Ed, done in conjunction with Jim White from the Dirty Three, called 'After the Flood.' Check out Goldmine author Martin Popoff interview The Saints guitarist/ vocalist/songwriter Ed Kuepper in a wide-ranging chat that looks at how The Saints dovetailed into the punk movement, along with a fair bit on each of the three albums covered by the upcoming tour, plus a look at the new solo album. We also touch upon the creative differences that led to Ed's split with Chris after the band's controversial third album, 'Prehistoric Sounds,' issued in October of 1978. Horns? Acoustic guitars? Surely The Saints didn't invent punk?! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Our comparative advantages, finite resources, and thinking on the margin. The post Podcast: Econ Corner 2.0 appeared first on Chris Bailey.

The Saints were a very important band in the history of Australian rock. Their mixture of melodic but greasy garage rock with a punk spirit was unlike anything else in the 70s. It produced the song they're still best known for, "(I'm) Stranded", one of the greatest punk anthems ever. That debut album of the same name from 1977 was recently given the deluxe treatment - 4 albums of remastered versions, b-sides, live shows, and more. Guitarist Ed Kuepper joins us to discuss his own, and the band's history including how they made that killer debut, why he left the band after three albums for a solo career, the loss of Saints frontman Chris Bailey, and a ton more.

Chris's end-of-year survey—and how we're ringing in the new year! The post Podcast: The end of the year survey appeared first on Chris Bailey.

Send us a textAs I reflect on this year, I've noticed something new: I'm way less interested in chasing those giant, shiny achievement goals. Instead, I'm soaking up the everyday moments—and loving it. Honestly, that's a twist for me, but then I stumbled on an interview that totally lit the spark.When I picked up How to Calm Your Mind, I didn't realize it was exactly what I needed.Chris Bailey—productivity whiz, calm connoisseur, and all-around brilliant storyteller—shares this vivid moment where he spotted himself in the overflow drain of his bathtub (yep, that's what that random metal thing is called) looking utterly wiped out. Next day? Public anxiety meltdown.Sound familiar? We've all been there, somewhere on the anxiety spectrum. And guess what? The lowest point on that spectrum isn't zero—it's something deeper: true calm. But, uh, how do we even get there?Chris says it starts with understanding burnout. Real burnout comes with three heavy hitters: exhaustion (check), cynicism (hello, eye rolls), and inefficacy (the opposite of feeling productive). And the culprits? Six sneaky factors—found at work and in life—that, when misaligned, push you to the edge.Then there's dopamine, that pesky chemical our brain craves but rarely gets from the right sources. Chris introduces a “Stimulation Fast”—basically detoxing from hollow dopamine hits like, yep, social media. Sure, TikTok's fun, but swapping it for something truly fulfilling (knitting? gardening? birdwatching?) is a game-changer.At its core, most of us want a meaningful life. So here's the mic-drop question Chris leaves us with:Are you chasing a life that you value—or one the world values?What's Inside:Why exactly would you want to calm your mind?Burnout is more than just exhaustion. What are the three symptoms?Six factors at work that contribute to burnout, stress, and anxiety... Can you fix them?Do you need stimulation fast? Taking a look at empty sources of dopamine?This interview was the catalyst for a deep look inward, and I'm focusing less on huge achievements and more on the value I find in my day-to-day. Where are you on that spectrum? Let me know on Insta!Mentioned in This Episode:Chris BaileyFit Feels Good info@fitfeelsgood.com Oonagh on Insta

Chris has been a guest on the show a number of times, and in this episode, he unpacks the origins, research, and results of his book, How to Calm Your Mind: Finding Presence and Productivity in Anxious Times. I decided to revisit this conversation as the need for calm has been so important for me in recent weeks and months as I suspect it has been for you as well. In our chat Chris and I discuss the events that led up to him writing this book while exploring a number of techniques, and tips for finding presence and calm that he developed and practiced along that journey.  We discuss digital fasting, the advantages of analog items for productivity, and how slowing down your lifestyle can often lead to speeding up your efficiency!
