Host: Dr. Susan Buttross, Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, and Abram NanneyTopic: Revenge Bedtime Procrastination. A fancy name for delaying bedtime to do things that you enjoy but couldn't do because of your workday. Maybe it's an art project, checking Facebook messages, or catching up on that series that you started watching last month. Cramming that into the late evening gives you only 5 or 6 hours of sleep a night. Well, it's not good for you. Today we'll talk about what it is, why we do it and how we can make changes to avoid this bad habit.You can join the conversation by sending an email to: family@mpbonline.org. Hosted on Acast.

This episode covers the next part of chapter 17 from: “The first two years of my course at Scottish Church...” to  “...mixed with ejaculations betraying their astonishment.” Summary: In this short and seemingly simple section of the chapter lies some gold dust, but you have to explore underlying meanings behind the narrative as experienced by Paramahansa Yogananda (and orchestrated by Swami Sri Yukteswar!). We weigh in by sharing our personal experiences and reflections on the importance of faith, perseverance, and balancing spiritual pursuits with academic responsibilities. We also felt it right to include some readings on concepts of success, hard work, and reincarnation, as well as the gleaning on some messages from the book Mejda.  0:00 Prior episode; 3:05 A controversial regularity; 17:15 A lifeline; 27:27 Art of Cramming; 44:15 Scraping through an exam; 59:00 Looking ahead. Links discussed in this episode:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_Church_College https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_alumni_of_Scottish_Church_College Homework for next episode— Read, absorb and make notes on the last part of chapter 17: “On his return from Puri, Sri Yukteswar...” to end of the chapter (and the long footnote). #autobiographyofayogi  #autobiographylinebyline  #paramahansayogananda Autobiography of a Yogi  awake.minute Self-Realization Fellowship Yogoda Satsanga Society of India #SRF #YSS

Sarah and Miranda move through their own climate change cognitive dissonance with the help of Elizabeth Doerr, author of the Cramming for the Apocalypse project. We discuss how parenting lends itself to climate action, how facing the climate reality can actually make you less anxious, and how mothers can give prepper stereotypes a much-needed makeover. Links:* Scribente Maternum* Cramming for the Apocalypse* How Do You Plan For a Future That Might Not Exist? by Liz Plank “I miss my 2015 brain, the one unburdened by the weight of relentless catastrophes, and I miss my 2015 problems, those small, manageable worries that felt so monumental at the time. But more than that, I mourn the 2025 happiness I once allowed myself to envision, a life shimmering with possibility, untouched by the shadow of all we've lost. I grieve the future I was so certain would be mine, the life I thought I was building towards. I can't pinpoint the moment it slipped through my fingers, but I know it's gone. Most of all, I ache for the version of myself who believed in that future, who had the audacity to imagine a world that was bright and brimming with promise.What we're all feeling is grief. Not the tidy, private kind, but a vast, collective mourning that binds us together. We are grieving not just the world we've lost but the futures we were promised, the ones we dared to dream of and expected to inherit.”* What If We Get It Right? by Ayana Elizabeth Johnson and her Climate Action Venn Diagram* Kathryn Schulz's New Yorker article about the Cascadia Fault Earthquake* Ecopsychological Development and Maternal Ecodistress During Matrescence by Aurelie Athan* Twilight Greenaway's Substack, The Window, with regular climate news coverage* Donate to Baby2Baby's fire relief support * More links from Liz:* How to pack a go bag* Our Children's Trust* Families for Climate * Anya Kamenetz's Substack The Golden Hour* Liz Doerr and Brekke Wagoner's 10-week preparedness guide* Britt Wray's Generation Dread takes on climate grief head-on This is a public episode.

Have you ever crammed for an exam, only to forget everything a few weeks later? Cramming never works, especially in herbal medicine.

Taking breaks in the middle of practice or study sessions can be a pain. Often, it's a lot easier and more convenient to just power through and get it over with.But what price do we pay by not spacing out our learning, over multiple days, or with practice or study breaks? Does this really make that much of a difference?Two studies from the literature suggest that spaced learning can make quite a significant difference, actually. And one study explains why, highlighting the very different things that happen in the brain when we take breaks vs when we don't.Get all the nerdy details and references here: The Truth About Cramming: Why Your Brain Needs Breaks* * *Have you ever wondered why it is exactly that things often sound better at home than they do on stage?

 The 500th episode of Macroaggressions is dedicated to the memory of my mother who passed away in early November from pancreatic cancer. This is the story of how a trip to Las Vegas lasted three months, and how many of my worst fears were realized simultaneously. Cramming for the final to understand cancer as quickly as possible is something that millions of people have experienced, but having connections to alternative medicine providers developed throughout the past 500 episodes certainly did shorten the learning curve, as a plan for treatment was implemented in just a matter of days. A very special thanks to Andy, Aubrey, and Bristol who were with me the entire time and kept me busy and well-fed. I'm very fortunate to have such amazing friends. Also to my wife and daughter who pulled my weight back home when I could not, and who understood that I had to see this situation through to the very end.

With the arrival of her daughter in 2018, Emily Groden (Founder and CEO) knew she would not have as much time to cook. She needed a new go-to: something that was simple, tasty, and truly nourishing. But frozen waffles? Are they simple? Yes. Tasty? Definitely. Nourishing? Uh… no. It's a classic tale of a mom, a mission, and a waffle maker. Cramming all the good stuff like fruits, veggies, nuts and spices into something that tastes as good as it makes you feel. A few years and a few hundred recipes later, flavor, protein, fiber, and a whole serving of fruits and veggies are together at last… in a toaster. Emily joins Justin to discuss this delicious and fast-growing brand!

Dan Perlman is a comedian, writer and director in Brooklyn He co-created, wrote and starred in Showtime's critically acclaimed comedy series, “Flatbush Misdemeanors” which was sadly not renewed after its much lauded and pitch-perfect two season run. Don't count Dan out though. He just keeps making things — short things for now. Much as Flatbush Misdemeanors got its start as a web series he made with fellow comedian Kevin Iso, Perlman has made two short films — one in 2020 and one at the end of 2023 — both starring the same two New York kids, non-actors playing versions of themselves. The first one, “Cramming,” has just been announced as the recipient of a grant from Rooftop Films so it can be made into a feature film. The second, “Practice Space,” will have its world premiere at the Lower East Side Film Festival this year. That announcement just dropped … today.   Brooklyn news and views you can use: bkmag.com Email: hello@bkmag.com Follow along on Facebook: Brooklyn Magazine Twitter: @brooklynmag Instagram: @brooklynmagazine Follow Brian Braiker on Twitter: @slarkpope

When you've got to make a pitch to a prospect, whether in person or in writing, you face a weird paradox: The more successful the prospect, the less time they have for you. Cramming a ton of benefits into a short pitch tends to work against you. Who can process all that data in such a short period of time. Lucky for you, there's another way. It's called “stacking microstories.” Today I'll show you how to put together a complete pitch that takes less than five minutes to deliver. You can use this for any product or service. You could put it in an email or on a sales page. And you could deliver it in spoken form to a prospect. I'll give an actual demo of a microstory stack that takes far less than 5 minutes, so you can see for yourself how this works.

Hedonic self-care involves activities that we find pleasurable. A massage or a nap or time spent with dear friends. Eudaimonic self-care includes those things we do not necessarily because they are pleasurable in the moment, but because they support our goals and objectives.  Things like getting our teeth cleaned, or doing meal prep ahead of a busy week, or spending time and money on a therapist or hiring a health coach. You could easily get the impression that eudaimonic self-care is better or more virtuous than hedonic self-care. But this is not the case. And I don't want you to forsake hedonic self-care as lesser than.Key Takeaways Try to maintain a balance between those things you do because they make you feel good in the moment and those things you do because they contribute to your long term well-being. Both are important to a fulfilling life. Cramming in a lot of peak experiences doesn't guarantee that you'll look back on your life and feel it was well-lived.  One way to waste time is to spend it doing things that don't really matter. But another way to waste time is to spend it living for an imaginary future.  Whether hedonic or eudaimonic, if it comes at the expense of your mental, physical, or financial wellbeing, it doesn't qualify as true self-care.

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 for this show. I've spent a lot of time reading, watching and studying time management and productivity strategies and practices. And while a lot of what I've read rarely works in the real world, there are many that do and most of these are time tested and have been around for a long time.  For example, use a calendar. People have carried around calendars for decades—well before the digital age. It's logical when you think about it. Have a single source that tells you where you need to be and when and make sure you carry that with you everywhere you go.  Of course, being humans and having a natural instinct to over-complicate things, digital calendars are now trying to do everything for us and as a result they have become less helpful. Cramming your day full of appointments and tasks you don't really need to do, has made the calendar a place few people enjoy going to anymore. What's worse is delegating responsibility for your time to other people by allowing them to schedule appointments for you. Gee why did it go so wrong?  There is one time management and productivity practice that technology has so far been unable to influence. It's the one skill that the most productive people have mastered above everything else and if you are not skilled and confident enough to do it, you will never be productive and worse, ever be successful in your work.  However, before we get to that, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question. This week's question comes from Greg. Greg asks, Hi Carl, I've always wanted to ask you what you consider to be the critical skill needed to be good at managing time and being productive?  Hi Greg, thank you for your question.  That's something I've spent years trying to figure out, and there is one skill I have noticed in all incredibly productive people that very few people seem to possess.  That's the ability to make decisions quickly.  You see, if you want to be more productive and less overwhelmed by what you have to do, quickly (and confidently) deciding what to work on right now is the only thing you can do. Naturally, executing on that decision is the next important thing, but you first need to make a decision about what you will do right now. Writing this script at this moment was a decision I made twenty minutes ago, and writing it was the execution of that decision.  There are a multiple other things I could be doing right now—walking my dog, going to the gym, taking a nap, responding to my email etc. But I made the decision to sit down and write this script. It's got to be done sometime, right? Why not now? (Although asking for an excuse why you should not be doing something is probably the wrong question to ask)  The time it took me to make that decision and begin writing was perhaps three seconds. And that is how productive people become productive. They make a decision and execute immediately.  What will hold you back and prevent you from being productive is being unable to make a decision about what to do now.  So, if you asked what skill you could develop that would radically improve your time management and productivity skills, I would say become better at making decisions. But it is a bit more than that. You see, making decisions is something you will already be able to do. Even the most indecisive people make decisions. What time you rolled out of bed this morning was a decision, what you ate for breakfast was a decision. We are making decisions all the time.  However, the skill you need to develop is the skill of confidently making decisions. Writing this script was a confident decision. I have around twenty actionable emails sitting in my Action This Day folder, I have four unread messages in my messaging app and fifteen tasks to do in my task manager. But I am writing this right now. That's because I am confident that writing this is the best use of my time, currently.  Everything else I have to do today can wait. Most of it will get done, some of it won't and I am comfortable with that.  That's the state you want to be training yourself to be in. And I use the work “training” intentionally.  Your brain has a natural tendency to overthink things. It has no sense of past, present or future. So as far as your brain is concerned, everything must be done right now. That's why it's important to get everything on your mind out of your mind and into an external place. A task manager or notes app or a piece of paper. It's there where you can make the right choices about what to work on next.  But how do you make the right choices?  That begins with your Areas of Focus and core work. Knowing what these mean to you is a brilliant way to pre-decide what to work on next.  Your areas of focus shows you your priorities based on the eight areas of life we all have in common. Things like your finances, family and relationships, career and purpose. When you know what these areas mean to you, decisions based on what to do next become obvious.  For instance, if a client wants to have a dinner meeting with you on Wednesday and that's your wedding anniversary and you've promised to take your partner out for dinner what do you do? If you prioritise your career above your family and relationships, then you will have dinner with your client. You may not want to admit that, but if you make that choice, that's effectively what has happened. Your career is more important than your family and relationships.  However, if your family and relationships are more important than your career, you ask your client if you can have dinner on an alternative night, or if they are only in town for one day, perhaps you can have lunch or a coffee in the afternoon.  Knowing your core work works in the same way. Your core work is the work you are employed to do. That does not mean extra meetings, chatting with your colleague about next week's off site event or reorganising your documents and emails.  Core work requires time and that's why it's important that before the week begins you have the time blocked out for doing your core work. No excuses. get that time protected. Once it's protected, you now have less decisions to make. If you should be finishing off a client proposal and you are asked to join meeting about next quarter's targets, you don't go to the meeting, you write the client proposal. The proposal writing is your core work, the meeting is not. You can always ask a colleague to give you a copy of their notes. If you observe the most productive people, you will notice they know what is important and are obsessively focused on getting the important stuff done. They don't become distracted by trivialities such as email and Teams or Slack messages when they are working on their important tasks for that day.  Those decisions are made before the day begins. Which is why planning the day becomes a critical part of your end of day routine. Plan the day before you finish the previous day and you will sleep better (always good for being productive) will be a lot less stressed and much more focused.  So, the way to become better at managing your time and being more productive is to know what is important and what is not. What can wait and what needs dealing with immediately. And the easiest way to determine that is to know what your areas of focus and core work are.  That means you do need to allow some time to work on your areas of focus and core work. This is what I call the backend work. Spend a couple of weekends determining these areas of your life and the time investment you make will reward you massively later.  The issue I find is the people who most need to do this, are the ones who make the excuse they are too busy to do it. It seems like a luxury they cannot afford to do because they have too much to do already.  But why do you have too much to do? That's because you don't know what is important and what is not which means everything's important. and when everything's important, nothing is. And now you're stuck in a vicious cycle that can only be broken if you stop, step back and work on your areas of focus and core work.  Now, the good news is that we have entered the annual planning season. The three months before the start of a new year. If you want to go into 2024 with a focus, a lot less stress and a determination to move your goals and projects forward, use the remaining days of 2023 to build out your areas of focus and core work.  Work out what tasks you need to do to keep these areas in balance, get them into your task manager and set them to repeat as often as they need to be repeated. This will give you consistency and when you get consistent with something you can refine and develop processes for getting this work done without much effort at all. Ultimately, it will come down to how effective your processes are. With a process you can improve and refine them so you become faster at doing them. I have a process for doing my daily admin. Six years ago when I began doing my daily admin, it took me around an hour and half to do the tasks. Today, I can do the same tasks in the same order in less than twenty minutes. That has only happened because I have consistently done the work and refined the process for doing the work.  So there you go, Greg. Those are the critical skills. The most important one of all, though is making decisions quickly and confidently and anyone can learn to do that. All it takes is a little bit of practice. I hope that has helped. 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.

It's not always fun to have a wake up call. Today, we get into the illusion of seeking dreams without putting in the work. Mike did a Sprint over the weekend and he had to take a long, hard look in the mirror. We get into riding on success from the past, and how 90% of life is just showing up . . . but most people don't do the 10% which is learn from success or failure. We talk about confidence as a crutch, how it's good to have a healthy fear hanging over you, and why we have to own our successes and failures. Eventually being unprepared will wear you down. Woulda, coulda, shoulda, only goes so far. When we have a big, exciting dream, we should go for it, but it ultimately boils down to doing the hard part, which is the actual work. Topics:  Des Moines and Eagleman Mike's Sprint wake up Abandoning habits that matter Riding the belief train too much 90% of Life is showing up Getting stuck on your dream vision Not adjusting to hit your goals Riding past successes 24 Hour Rule Athletes and 180 degree swings Cramming for tests and races The Result IS Hard work Woulda, coulda, shoulda, #Didn't All nighter studying Why do you expect what you do? Dedicate to . . . doing your best It gets old going into things unprepared Massive underachieving Confidence as a crutch Acceptance of where you are in training Paralyzed by that “entry into the sport” frame of mind It's time for action The harder you work, the luckier you get “If I get lost, if I get injured, if I die, it's my fault” A healthy fear hanging over you It's my fault Own success . . . and failure.

As the United States continues the march toward having 400 million people, we are still stuck with an antiquated 2 party system that was created hundreds of years ago. Do you know how many people lived in this country in 1776? 2.5 million people. Cramming 400 million into 2 political parties is preposterous. And it's why almost every developed democracy around the world has at least 4, but sometimes has 10-15 parties - all with members in their congress. If we just had 4 parties, it would at least be a start of more people feeling like they have true political representation. Let me unpack and explain it.
