In this episode of the SpeakersU Podcast, James Taylor and Maria Franzoni dive into one of the biggest decisions every professional speaker faces — whether or not to write a book. With reading habits changing and attention spans shrinking, is publishing still worth it? Maria shares what she learned from writing The Bookability Formula, including how a book clarifies your thinking, protects your IP, and raises your authority. James discusses his upcoming SuperCreativity book, why he waited five years before writing it, and how books can elevate your speaking brand. Together they explore the pros and cons of traditional vs. self-publishing, how to use your book as a marketing tool, and creative ways to launch and promote it. Whether you're a new or established speaker, you'll discover why books still matter — and how to make yours work for your business, your brand, and your audience.     Key Takeaways Books clarify thinking – Writing forces structure and helps you refine your core message. Authority comes from authorship – The word "authority" literally begins with "author." Timing matters – Don't write too early; live your content first. Books as business cards – A book opens doors and elevates positioning, even if it doesn't make big money. Hybrid publishing is a smart middle path – Keeps quality control without losing autonomy. Tie your launch to an event – Use an existing audience for maximum visibility. Give books freely – Strategic giveaways amplify goodwill and social proof. You must market it – Promotion, interviews, and podcasts are on you, not your publisher. AI audiobooks are here – Tools like Eleven Labs can narrate your book in multiple languages.     Memorable Quotes "Writing a book unravels your thinking — it turns spaghetti into structure." – Maria Franzoni "A book is the summation of years of ideas, handed to you for £20. That's incredible value." – James Taylor "Authority comes from author. A book changes how clients perceive you." – Maria Franzoni "You don't need a book to be a successful speaker — but it can unlock a higher level of opportunity." – James Taylor "Attach your book launch to an event that already has your perfect audience." – Chris Gardner (via Maria Franzoni)     Episode Timestamps 00:00 – Welcome & why reading is declining 01:16 – Why Maria wrote The Bookability Formula 02:15 – Books as clarity tools and IP protection 04:01 – James on the value of books for idea transfer and legacy 05:47 – Speaking first, writing later – when to start your book 07:09 – Avoid writing too early; live your material first 08:23 – How writing affects your speaking income short-term 09:38 – Books as brochures and positioning tools 10:59 – How bureaus view speakers with books 13:44 – Branding your book and keynote under one concept 15:01 – Why bureaus love books but don't profit from them 16:54 – Micro-books and multi-series publishing 17:46 – Traditional vs hybrid vs self-publishing 18:12 – Finding a publisher who respects your voice 19:36 – Owning foreign rights and global expansion 21:27 – The marketing reality: sales depend on you 22:08 – David Allen's 25-year book promotion discipline 23:08 – Maria's tip: attach your book launch to an event 25:02 – Free books as social-media gold 25:50 – James' tool: Eleven Labs for AI audiobooks and voiceovers 26:58 – Closing thoughts and listener questions

The Quantum Life: There Is a Better Way to Live by Dr M Teri Daunter https://www.amazon.com/Quantum-Life-There-Better-Live/dp/1639453652 The Quantum Life is provocative, intellectually and spiritually challenging. It will trigger you and it will awaken you because it demonstrates how you live in a world that is psycho-spiritually crippled. You are sleeping imprisoned it informs. You are so bound to the dumb conformity built from deceptive tricks that you hardly perceive your bonds. Normal is not healthy. Normal is neurotic. You have been chained and hampered and living a life of fiction Dr. Daunter exhorts. The Quantum Life illustrates how you span two dimensions simultaneously. It teaches the reader to operate from a much larger computer with infinite information. It teaches you to release blocked creativity, endow your life with meaning and give you the opportunity to see yourself in the bigger scope of life by connecting to your Infinite Creative Intelligence. The Quantum Life provides you the longest vision in the room and awakens you to a profounder self-knowledge. This fascinating book examines the idea of The Quantum Life -a way of approaching life that empowers one to realize that the true purpose of life is to be an active creator in a universe that is both conscious and connected. In fact, consciousness is at the center of what is known as The Quantum Life. The book's introduction describes this belief as presenting an "inherent psychology of Consciousness." The beginning of the book offers the theory that orthodoxy has brainwashed the masses. Calling it a disease, which merely shackles through "collective hypnosis and conditioning," Daunter continues her argument that Quantum Spirituality sees the individual as a finite-infinite being with endless potential and endless possibilities. She recognizes C. G. Jung's clinical research concerning the collective unconscious and how it affects one's spirituality, physical health, and decision-making "as the seed from which Quantum Spirituality grew." Daunter offers up an intriguing premise presented in an easily comprehended manner. She is undoubtedly passionate about the prospect of the human capacity to live The Quantum Life achieving full consciousness. The author's passion for her subject and her unwavering belief in the human ability to transcend the confines of orthodoxy make this a concept one might wish to explore. Daunter's book presents unorthodox ideas about life in an easy-to-understand and enthusiastic manner. Readers from all religious and philosophical backgrounds may find much food for thought in this work. US Review of Books by Kat Kennedy There are frequent mentions of the work of Carl Jung in these pages. Alongside these are exhortations which ring both contemporary and true, such as "Be the CEO and guardian of your soul." This book is ultimately hopeful, a welcome departure from passive belief systems. The book calls for the awakening of mankind to its true calling, namely achieving selfhood and discarding false worship. Dr. Daunter writes, "Heaven and hell are states of consciousness in which you live." This is evocative of the best of another spiritual whistleblower, namely William Blake. - David Allen, Pacific Book Review

A new MP3 sermon from Alpha and Omega Ministries is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Politics Over Gospel, Back to David Allen and Romans 8 Subtitle: The Dividing Line 2025 Speaker: Dr. James White Broadcaster: Alpha and Omega Ministries Event: Podcast Date: 8/25/2025 Length: 64 min.

Going to try to get two programs in before we head back out on the road, so hopefully Wednesday at 6pm EDT for the next one. Started off looking at some stuff that happened over the weekend, including people mocking Fritz Erbe, the man martyred by the sacralist Lutherans for not having his children baptized. We looked at the direction being taken by the young Christian Nationalists, and how it requires going soft on the key issues regarding Roman Catholicism. Then we moved back to David Allen's book and started looking specifically as his Romans 8 section.

Pascal Reischl is a certified GTD trainer in Austria. He will tell you that he has always been interested in technology. Naturally our discussion about his journey with GTD involves plenty of tech talk. But especially when working with people who are new to GTD, he doesn't push for feature-laden applications. Instead, he says "Start with what you are already using." He also shares an inspiring story about how putting GTD fully into practice has helped him to be more present with his family, and in every aspect of his life. -- This audio is one of many available at GTD Connect, a learning space and community hub for all things GTD.

Three major portions to the program today, starting off with some observations on the relationship of the Prologue of the Gospel of John (John 1:1-18) to the Prologue of the First Epistle of John. Then we looked at a post on X from a few weeks ago presenting a very one-sided view of the supposed "Petrine Promise" in Matthew 16, and finished off with about twelve minutes more looking at David Allen's new book.

You need to control commitments, projects, and actions in two ways--horizontally and vertically. Horizontal control maintains coherence across all the activities in which you are involved. Vertical control, in contrast, manages thinking, development, and coordination of individual topics and projects. In this webinar recording, Ana Maria Gonzalez talks about the relationship between these two levels of control and how you can leverage them both for your productivity. -- This audio is one of many available at GTD Connect, a learning space and community hub for all things GTD.

Episode 3698: Steve Pavlina challenges the limits of logic-based goal setting by showing how aligning with heart-centered motivation leads to deeper fulfillment and sustained drive. By trusting your emotional compass over external validation or mental constructs, you can pursue goals that feel authentic and energizing rather than forced or draining. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://stevepavlina.com/blog/2006/11/heart-centered-motivation/ Quotes to ponder: "When your heart's not in a goal, you'll procrastinate, and even if you push through and succeed, the victory will feel hollow." "Heart-centered motivation makes you feel inspired, uplifted, and energized. It taps into your spirit and creativity." "Your feelings are your internal compass. Trust them."

Had to keep it to an hour today, but we started looking at some statements from Dale Tuggy in his debate from a number of years ago with Michael Brown in preparation for my second debate with Dale in Tullahoma next month. Then we got back into David Allen's new book as we move toward it's attempt to deal with Romans 8.

A new MP3 sermon from Alpha and Omega Ministries is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Dr. Newman I Presume, More on David Allen and Romans Subtitle: The Dividing Line 2025 Speaker: Dr. James White Broadcaster: Alpha and Omega Ministries Event: Podcast Date: 8/5/2025 Length: 61 min.

Covered a few personal items at the start, talked a bit about Calvin Robinson and Rome, then about Pope Leo's intention to elevate John Henry Cardinal Newman to the position of "Doctor of the Church" and what this might mean. Then we looked at a Leighton Flowers tweet on God's sovereignty, and finished up moving back into David Allen's book on Romans.

“Plans are of little importance, but planning is essential” That quote from Winston Churchill perfectly captures the dilemma we face when it comes to planning.  You can subscribe to this podcast on:  Podbean | Apple Podcasts | Stitcher | Spotify | TUNEIN Links: Email Me | Twitter | Facebook | Website | Linkedin The Time-Based Productivity Course Get Your Copy Of Your Time, Your Way: Time Well Managed, Life Well Lived The Time Sector System 5th Year Anniversary The Working With… Weekly Newsletter Carl Pullein Learning Centre Carl's YouTube Channel Carl Pullein Coaching Programmes Subscribe to my Substack  The Working With… Podcast Previous episodes page Script | 379 Hello, and welcome to episode 379 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. Planning and organising have their place. Yet, there is a danger of taking them too far and using them as an excuse or as a way to procrastinate.  Ultimately, whatever you are planning to do will eventually need to be done. The goal, therefore, is to get to the doing part as quickly as possible.  One of the dangers of David Allen's Getting Things Done book, is the emphasis on organising and doing the weekly review. It's a procrastinators heaven. An authority in the the productivity space giving you “permission” to spend two to four hours a week planning and reviewing and another large proportion of your time organising and reorganising your lists.  Don't get me wrong. Both planning and organising have their place and as Winston Churchill says, “planning is essential”, but it's a thin line between helpful and unhelpful planning and organising. In today's episode, I will share with you some ideas that you can use to ensure that you are following some sound principles with your planning and reviewing.  So, that means it's time to hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question. This week's question comes from Sally. Sally asks, hi Carl, I'm struggling to get myself organised. I have so many things on my desk and on my computer's desktop I don't know where to start. I feel like all I do all day is plan what to do and tidy up my lists. How do you avoid over planning and organising?  Hi Sally, thank you for your question. Firstly, I must admit I have been down this road of over-planning and organising.  I read Getting Things Done in 2009 and loved it. I ditched my Franklin Planner, the “tool” I had been using consistently for over fifteen years, bought myself a nice Quo Vadis notebook (the paper quality was better than Moleskine) and spent a whole weekend setting up the notebook as a GTD tool.  I also printed out the GTD weekly review checklist from David Allen's website and stuck that into the back go my planner and became a GTDer.  It took me seven years to realise that I wasn't getting anything significant done. I had a lot of ideas, plans and goals, yet all I seemed to be doing was reviewing, planning and doing the easy things from my context lists.  Replying to emails was much easier than sitting down to write the first chapter of the book I wanted to write. Spending more time mind mapping the presentation I had to give on Friday seemed more important than opening up Keynote and designing the presentation.  Yet, ironically, it was an end of year review that forced me to face up to reality and see that while I was excellent at planning and reviewing, I had become terrible at doing the work.  And this is one of the most common problem areas I see with many of my coaching clients. The fixation on having everything perfectly organised and planned.  You see, the problem here is not that everything is neatly organised and you have the plans to do whatever it is you want to do. The problem is nothing is being done to do those plans.  While I was working on my recent Time-Based Productivity course, the project note I had for it was a mess. I had a lot of notes, ideas and thoughts. Yet, I maintained a strict next actions list at the top of the project note as well as links to the documents I was working on.  It didn't matter that below those items was a horror show of ill-thought out ideas and random thoughts. They were there in case I got stuck somewhere. What mattered was the important information was clear and at the top of the note.  The note was designed so that the work got done. It was not designed to look pretty.  I've seen clients with thirty page Word documents detailing their department's plans for the year. It's written in some vague management language that leaves a lot to interpretation. It's as Winston Churchill once said of a similar document from the government's treasury department: “This paper, by its very length, defends itself from ever being read.” You can spend hours going through a document like that, and nothing will ever get done.  What matters is knowing what the department's objectives are and what needs to be done to accomplish them.  That does not need thirty pages. That can be summarised on one page, at most.  If you're working in an organisation that loves using management speak to communicate their ill-thought through ideas, one of the best ways to navigate these documents is to establish what the ultimate goal is.  What are the targets, or in management speak “KPI's” (Key Performance Indicators)? Once you know how you or your department will be measured, you can use your own experience and knowledge to put in place a plan to achieve those targets.  Ultimately, your boss, and their boss, are concerned about your targets. How you achieve those targets are less important, although they should always be achieved legally, of course.  In many ways translating these verbose annual planning documents is the role of the departmental managers. This means translating them into actionable items so that everyone in the team clearly understands what they are aiming for. This then reduces the necessity of further planning meetings and everyone can get on and achieve the objectives.  And this is the same for individuals.  When we plan things out we are exploring options, considering best ways to do things and perhaps thinking of potential outcomes.  While these exercises do have their place, they cannot replace doing the work.  The objective, therefore, is to figure out as quickly as possible what you need to do to get the work completed.  My wife bought me a new iron and ironing board for my birthday. I love ironing, I find it relaxing. I've learnt that no matter how big the pile of ironing is, the pile is not going to diminish by more planning and strategising. The only way the pile of ironing will shrink is for me to plug my iron in, set up my ironing board and get started.  Now years of ironing has taught me to begin with the clothes that require a cooler setting and finish with clothes that require a hotter setting such as linen shirts. That's experience, although, I remember being taught that one by my grandmother many many years ago.  The final part of this is choosing when to do the ironing. For me, I find ironing after I've been sat down for a long time works best. I'm stood up and have to move around to hang my shirts up after they're ironed. So, doing the ironing in the afternoon or early evening works best for me.  Given that I generally do the ironing once a week, all I need to decide is when. When will I do it? That's the only planning I need to do with something I routinely do.  When it comes to organising, I'm always surprised how so many people have missed one of the best features of computers and technology. It's not so you can sit and stare at a screen for hours on end. It's the speed at which a computer can organise your files.  You can choose to organise your files by date created, date modified, title, type of document or by size. The only thing you need to do is to put the file into a folder.  If you were to keep things as simple as possible, two folders one for your personal life and one for your professional life would work. (And I know a lot of people who do just that and can find anything they need with the use of a keyboard shortcut or a few typed letters.  While travelling last month, I had all my flight confirmation emails and car hire documents stored in Evernote in its own notebook. Before we set off, I made sure this notebook was downloaded to my phone so that no matter where I was in the world, I was not going to be relying on flakey internet.  This meant, when we finally reached the car hire desk at 11 p.m. At Dublin Airport, all I needed to do was open Evernote, type Europcar in the search and all my details we instantly on my screen ready to show the assistant.  Most notes apps people are using today have incredibly powerful search features built in. Evernote was build on its search features. I'm frequently amazed at how quickly Evernote can find something I vaguely think might be in there.  I remember my wife trying to sort something out for me on a Korean website while we were sitting in cafe. She asked me if I remembered my password for a particular website I had not used for over ten years.  I opened up Evernote and typed in the name of the website and in less than second the login and password details were there. My brain cannot work that fast when trying to recall something from ten years ago.  What this means is you do not need to spend days or months trying to come up with a “perfect” notes organisation system. You could quite easily operate on a simple professional and personal folder system.  You'd still be able to find anything you were looking for, and all you would need to do is to learn how to use the search features.  So, Sally, if you want to get things organised, let your computer do the work for you. Start by creating a simple folder structure of personal and work, and organise your documents there first.  As you're doing this I would add that you ensure the title of the documents and files are clear. Sometimes we download something from the internet and we end up with a jumble of letters and numbers. While your computer will be able to tell you when you downloaded it and what the file type is, it won't be able to tell you what it is. That part of the organising process is on you.  If you wish to have a little more structure than simply personal and professional you can modify things later. The goal here is to begin the cleaning up process.  And don't forget the delete key. It's your best friend when cleaning up.  Once you've tidied everything up and you know where everything is, when it comes to what to do next will naturally follow.  This organising may take you a weekend to do. Yet, that investment in time will be well worth it. You'll feel less anxious, lighter and will have begun developing confidence in your system. That's a very nice place to be.  I hope that has helped, Sally. Thank you for your question and thank you to you too for listening. It just remains for me to wish you a very very productive week.   

A new MP3 sermon from Alpha and Omega Ministries is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Debate Stuff, Muhammed Under Fire, David Allen's New Book Subtitle: The Dividing Line 2025 Speaker: Dr. James White Broadcaster: Alpha and Omega Ministries Event: Podcast Date: 7/29/2025 Length: 83 min.

Creator of the second-best productivity tool for GTD, Eric Mack is grounded in GTD and knowledge management. David Allen and John Forrister recently talked with Eric about his five principles of productivity software design, in the hope that it might inspire future designers to incorporate some of these principles into their applications.

Started off talking about exciting news about a new upcoming debate, and that it should be the big #200! Then switched over to some Islamic topics regarding whether Muhammed existed and the debate about that amongst Christians working in the field. Then we took a look at some material from David Allen's new book and demonstrated that, once again, the text of Scripture, and the Text of David, are often two different things.

GTD Live is the audio version of David Allen's complete two-day seminar that brings you the powerful principles of Getting Things Done, including the Mastering Workflow, Managing Projects & Priorities models. Recorded live, this will give you a great hands-on experience with the GTD® approach, at your own pace.

A "jumbo" edition of a Road Trip Dividing Line today from Albuquerque, New Mexico! We talked about John MacArthur, told a few stories, then talked about the sad, silly, inane folks trying to cash in on criticizing him. Spent a few minutes on the Alex Jurado controversy and how we can't just accept electronically produced evidence anymore, even in situations like this. Then we spent about 45 minutes responding to the guys from Trinity, including David Allen, looking at how their own language admits that our primary criticism has always been correct: they start with man, not with God. Then we looked at 1 John 5:1 and how both sides deal with it, or, in their case, don't deal with it at all.

I have to apologize for today's program. I started the stream, everything on my end said everything was great and worked well. But, I get done, and---no stream. No broadcast. Never had that happen before, and now I will always be wondering if it is working. Anyway, the recording worked anyway, so here it is. Talked about how being Reformed is relevant to, well, everything, including the flash flood in Texas recently. Then we discussed David Allen's new book, what it says about me, and how it uses scholarly sources. Sorry it wasn't broadcast live, as I thought it was! We will try to fix things for next time!

This week on Fist Full of Dirt, we're on location at Allen Chiropractic with Dr. David Allen. He's a longtime friend, golf partner, hunting buddy, and the guy who just helped put me back together after a rough episode with my back. We're talking about what causes those back blowouts, how to fix one, and more importantly how to keep your back strong in the first place.     Stay connected with Fist Full of Dirt:  Instagram: @ffodpodcast Instagram: @moplandforsale Twitter: @FistDirt TikTok: @originalturkeythug Instagram : @CuzStrickland Twitter: @CuzStrickland Facebook: @CuzStrickland YouTube: Cuz411

We looked in-depth today at the continuing discussion "do Christians and Muslims worship the same God?" This time we likewise looked at what modern Romanism teaches concerning salvation of those in non-Christian religions, and how all of this utterly undercuts Rome's authority claims. The last few minutes we responded to David Allen's continued refusal to defend his published works in public debate.
