Today I'm talking with Rachel Tham, a principal statistician, about a book that has been incredibly impactful in both of our lives—Deep Work. We discuss what deep work is and how it can help statisticians at work.  Deep work is a concept developed by Cal Newport which encourages people to focus intensely on one task for an extended period of time without any distractions. This type of focused work allows people to produce higher-quality results in less time than if they were trying to multitask or do shallow tasks. Join us and learn more about deep work concepts and how they can improve your productivity and satisfaction. Rachel and I discuss the following points:

Derek Condit – Psychic/Medium/Energy Worker How Derek perceives energy: “Individuals such as myself are sometimes called ‘seers'. I prefer to describe myself as a ‘frequency perceiver'. With a combination of natural born intuition and many years of self-expansion and training, I've learned to perceive our reality through not only my 5 physical senses, but also through my chakras. Thus perceiving our reality from not only the physical reality, but also the metaphysical reality. Using these expanded understandings and abilities (which we all possess), I can not only see spirit guides, angels and past loved ones, but also communicate with them. With the understanding that time doesn't truly exist, what are often called ‘past lives' or ‘concurrent lives' can also be perceived during a session. Truly everything is energy and with the knowledge of how to match the frequency of an ‘already healed' person, you can gain assistance in healing yourself through energy work during a session. Although I am a certified Reiki Master/Teacher, only ‘LOVE' energy is used during sessions/healings. Not only complete energy body healings, but physical body healings can occur. ” – Derek MysticalWares.com Ethics of Care YouTube video Krononaut Chronicles Instagram Gift a one-time (or recurring) donation to 13 Questions Podcast: https://13questionspodcast.com/support/ Ceremonial Grade Cacao from Jonas Ketterle Shungite from Derek Condit Contact the Podcast: 13questionspodcast@gmail.com  Gab Instagram Twitter Discord Telegram LinkedIn Gratitude Jingle by Sir Felix https://sirfelix.bandcamp.com/music Closing Music by Supaman - Why https://supamanhiphop.com/ Logo design by blakeArt®: https://gaudetedevelopment.com/    

Have you ever checked your phone while learning in a shiur, chavrusa, or even by yourself? This might seem innocuous, but Chazal teach us in Pirkei Avos that if you interrupt your learning to remark on the beauty of a tree or a field, then the Torah considers it as though you are "liable for your soul." This morning (2/26/23), I gave a YBT Sunday Shiur on that mishnah. After a brief methodological intro, we learned and discussed four different approaches to the mishnah with their practical implications; we concluded with some modern findings which have implications for how to level up not only in our learning, but in our professional lives as well.Note: This is an updated version of a shiur I gave to my women's Thursday Night Pirkei Avos shiur on 12/29/22 entitled Avos 3:9 - Interrupting Torah for a Tree.----------This shiur is dedicated to the memory of my Popo (grandmother), Helen Chang (1924 - 2/1/2023) and my student, Adira Koffsky (2004 - 2/1/2023)----------מקורות:רמב"ם – הקדמה לשמונה פרקיםמשלי א:ד-ה; יח:טרמב"ן - במדבר י:להרש"י - אבות א:טוMoshe Halbertal, Maimonides: Life and Thought (2015)אבות ג:ה,ט,ימאיריאברבנאלרבינו יונהרש"ירשב"ץר' יעקב ב"ר שמשוןמדרש שמואלרש"י - שבת דף ל עמוד בRabbi Israel Chait, Transcription of shiur on Pirkei Avos 3:9Selective Attention Test (Simons and Chabris)Cal Newport, Deep Work (2016)-----If you have questions, comments, or feedback, I would love to hear from you!

In this episode Michael talks with Erik Dordal. Erik has been in real estate for 17 years. He has been and is a successful Realtor but realized that he needed to get out of his own head and build more process and intention into his business and life. Erik had played college basketball and professional basketball, so he understood commitment but still was finding that burnout is a real thing. Erik is a ninja and during covid her realized that he was going to turn up his process and systems to be more intentional with his days and weeks. Erik has 4 kids ranging from 10 -17 so he wanted to be present with them and create a great home life with his wife and kids. I asked Erik what tools helped him the most. Ninja was one of the processes he mentioned along with the Book the 4 agreements and the book The Method by DR. Tracy Thomas. We also talked about the book 4000 Weeks. Deep Work, and Letting go My takeaways were. Be conscious of your thoughts and are they helping. you or hurting you?

Are you confident that your organisation follows a people-centric approach to its culture? If the answer is no, you must stop giving employees what they want and give them what they need. Here to guide you through the people-centric culture shift is speaker, author, founder, and culture consultant Gustavo Razzetti. Gustavo is the originator of Fearless Culture, an organisation that redesigns workplace culture that makes collaboration, agility, and innovation thrive at their peak. Culture is about helping people do their best work. Throughout the discussion, Gustavo defines the root issues associated with poor culture, the approaches required to amend these problems, and the benefits of creating change. Gustavo also explores the gift of feedback, clears the smoke and mirrors of employees' expectations, and offers realistic and actionable advice for optimising organisational performance. Further key points include: - An introduction to Gustavo Razzetti - The Workplace culture conundrum: addressing the leadership gap - Self-Awareness and fearlessness for culture transformation - Embracing feedback as an opportunity for learning and growth - Fixing Mode: How questions are the solution - An insight into the blameless postmortem model and mistake policies - Breaking the culture of fear and redefining the concept of hard work - Working methods: Deep Work vs Shallow Work - Virtual Presenteeism in this new working era - How experimental leaders can influence the organisational culture - What Being Happier at Work Means to Gustavo "Questions are better than solutions, as they help people clarify what they're going through." - Gustavo Razzetti.

Amanda interviews Jessie, a coach, doula, and author in the matrescence and motherhood sphere. Amanda and Jessie talk about matrescence and the phases and transitions of motherhood that isn't talked about in mainstream. They talk about grief in motherhood and how to work through. They talk about motherhood being different than expectations. They talk about matrescence being full of grief and living in the liminal space. They discuss “who are you now”? They talk about how to go through matrescence in a culture that doesn't acknowledge them. This is a transformational and comforting episode. I hope you enjoyed it.

“We have 1,440 minutes a day. We tend to be pretty careful thinking about our finances or our money, but ironically, we can always make more money, but we can never make more time,” says Dr. Christina Shenvi, MD, Ph.D.,MBA. Dr. Shenvi is no stranger to the challenge of time management. Having earned a PhD, MD and executive MBA, she was using timeboxing and other techniques before there was a name for them.After coaching medical students for their exams, Dr. Shenvi realized that much of that success came down to how students manage their time. She then spent several years deep diving into psychology literature on procrastination, goal setting, and motivation and began incorporating this knowledge into her lectures. After working with students for a number of years, Dr. Shenvi started to speak on this topic to her colleagues - the medical school faculty. And she would get an overwhelming response that it really resonated with people.In this episode of the Prosperous Doc®, our host Shane Tenny, CFP®, chats with Dr. Shenvi about how practicing better time management can lead to more fulfilling lives for busy professionals.

We've talked about feelings on the podcast and we've talked about eating on the podcast. Now it's time to combine the two and discuss all things emotional eating. You may think you know what it means and whether you coach on it or not, this is a buzzword in the coaching world. But in this episode, I share with you my simple definition and why it's so important to really understand emotional eating beyond it being a coaching term on your weight loss journey. If you aren't familiar with the term emotional eating, no problem. This episode is for you. By the end of this episode, you'll understand why diets don't work and that just because you emotionally eat doesn't mean anything's wrong with you. In fact, emotional eating makes sense. Listen in to find out why! If you loved this episode, give it 5 stars and leave a review on your favorite podcast platform so others can find this podcast. And share this episode with your fellow Life Coach who would benefit from understanding all things emotional eating on a whole other level.

The last 6 months have been the most difficult of my life.   Physically and mentally.   As I write this, I'm proud to say (and SO grateful) that I'm coming out of it - stronger than ever.    So I'm ready to talk about it.    To share what it was like (the nitty gritty and all the in-between) and also to share what I learned.    Where I've been and who I've become in the process.    I felt that the best way to communicate this was an episode where I cover: My health journey over the last 6 months (with chronic abdominal pain) My mental journey during that season  What things helped me move through this hard season Meanings and perspectives that came out of this experience   I hope this episode gives you perspective, encouragement, and courage to keep showing up to whatever season you're going through in life.    Music credit: @earthto7ky   Resources: Built From Broken - the book that helped heal me!

On the podcast today we have Zach Swinehart in the second of an, unexpectedly, two-part episode. We talked for so long that I decided it was best as two episodes instead of a really long single episode. You really need to listen to episode 310 of the podcast before this one, so go do that now if you have not already! We start off today where we left off last time, with my addiction to email and whether I could conquer that, then moving on to talk about Zach's framework for Deep Work which is step by step guide to helping you to get your concentration back in a world that's constantly trying to steal your attention. Zach was kind enough to write his own show notes for this episode and so rather than reinvent the wheel, you'll find them by heading to the podcast page.

On the podcast today we have Zach Swinehart in the second of an, unexpectedly, two-part episode. We talked for so long that I decided it was best as two episodes instead of a really long single episode. You really need to listen to episode 310 of the podcast before this one, so go do that now if you have not already! We start off today where we left off last time, with my addiction to email and whether I could conquer that, then moving on to talk about Zach's framework for Deep Work which is step by step guide to helping you to get your concentration back in a world that's constantly trying to steal your attention. Zach was kind enough to write his own show notes for this episode and so rather than reinvent the wheel, you'll find them by heading to the podcast page.

Today we discuss the topic of Deep Work. What is it, Why should we use it, and what problems from our current day to day work life does it solve. Tricks on how to schedule it, and how to use it as infrastructure to your days. And how to maximize the time between the Deep Work sessions to bring fulfillment into your life.

In this episode, we cover "Cultivating depth and stillness in research" by Andy Matuschak. We go over tons of actionable strategies and tips to optimize your brain for longer periods of focus. The article is chock full of graphs and data, so make sure to check it out. Along the way, Joe and I realize we suck at deep work (for now), we make New Year's Resolutions (even though we just claimed we don't like them in a recent episode), and Evan has an epiphany about ChatGPT.

Liam Martin, who co-founded and runs Timedoctor and Staff.com, is an avid proponent of remote work and co-organizer of the Running Remote conference. Liam draws on much personal experience learning the asynchronous mindset and optimizing designing processes to enable “deep work” by distributed teams. For the new book he co-authored, Running Remote, Liam researched how remote pioneers built their businesses. He shares high level and granular advice, including useful tools and practices for organizations interested in improving their hybrid models or going fully remote.     KEY TAKEAWAYS   [03:30] Liam left home at fifteen to compete internationally for Canada in ice dance.   [04:39] Liam suffers a career-ending shattered kneecap which forced him to refocus his life at 19.   [07:28] Growing up in international training centers left Liam with no High-School diploma.   [08:45] The discipline required to compete at the highest level of sports can be useful in other fields, such as business.   [09:40] Liam starts teaching as a lecturer at McGill but discovers entrepreneurship is a better fit.   [12:10] 6 For those interested in entrepreneurship but thinking about college after high school, Liam shares his opinion based on his own experience.   [13:29] Liam discusses what he worked out about the mechanics of business.   [14:23] Key learnings as Liam was forced into a remote business early on.   [16:07] The tutoring business hit an issue tracking work which Liam and his new business partner, Rob Rawson, created a new venture to solve.   [17:20] They launch the Running Remote conference in 2018 to support people wanting to build and scale fully remote companies.   [18:16] In 2018, there were only seven companies with over 1000 people that were fully-remote.   [19:07] In his book, Running Remote, Liam explains how remote pioneers have a different methodology to running their businesses.   [20:17] The Future of Work is trending to be mostly hybrid, but distance bias must be overcome.   [21:20] Leaders are choosing to work remotely certain days to mitigate distance bias.   [22:34] Asynchronous management is the key methodology remote pioneers implemented - the ability to be able to communicate without directly interacting with someone synchronously.   [23:47] To deploy a hybrid work model successfully, Tenet 1: Deliberate over-communication.   [25:06] Liam starts interacting with “on-premise” organizations and is very surprised at the lack of documentation for everything.   [27:03] Tenet 2 - Democratized workflows – the ability to have information available to everyone.   [27:37] Relinquishing control of information is difficult, but it enables better decision-making.   [28:54] Tenet 3 – Really detailed metrics – the most difficult part.   [29:23] If process documentation feels overwhelming, Liam advises starting with an asynchronous week.   [30:41] More than 95% of process documents are never accessed. Is this an opportunity for ChatGPT?   [32:23] The number one reason companies failed to become fully (90%) asynchronous.   [33:40] The system needs to become the manager then managers can focus on people.   [34:34] Weekly iterations are ideal, biweekly at the most.   [36:08] Liam's book “Running Remote” is “Deep Work” (by Cal Newport) for organizations—emphasizing people working independently.   [38:17] Most asynchronous—remote first—organizations Liam spoke with for the book target ~10% of synchronous communication per day.   [39:12] Synchronous communication for fully-remote and hybrid organizations is currently probably around 40-50%, which is too high to be effective.   [40:32] Liam believes that synchronous may allow better communication and development of ideas in the startup phase, but asynchronous management is much more effective to scale a company.   [42:19] 13% of all remote workers are customer support reps. From onboarding to training asynchronous can do it better and faster.   [44:06] Liam's goal is to reduce meetings and give people back hours of work time.   [45:29] Their rule about being able to walk out if a meeting isn't valuable—Liam finds it effective.   [46:50] Liam is unclear where we are going post-COVID since 14% of the US economy involves corporate real estate.   [51:28] Liam shares the tools he uses to manage projects, record, document, and collect information.   [55:28] IMMEDIATE ACTION TIP: Optimize for work rather than meetings. Use effective asynchronous enabling tools including a project management system to be able to document information, and others to establish new processes that reduce live interactions.     RESOURCES   Liam Martin on LinkedIn  Instagram @liamremote Twitter @liamremote Liam's book Running Remote TimeDoctor.com The Running Remote conference on Youtube Future Forum by Slack Deep Work by Cal Newport.   Tools mentioned: Loom Asana Trainual Fellow     QUOTES   “Education wasn't the goal for me, it was entrepreneurship.”   “The mechanics of running a business is just bureaucracy, unfortunately. The reality is that you can actually cheat your way up until the Dunbar number, which is about 150 people.”   “Distance bias posits that as you get closer to a manager or a decision maker, you then have better access to decision making.”   “The CEO of the company has all of this information in their head, and that's usually the person that ends up making these very serious decisions. Inside an autonomous meritocracy, you empower everyone to make their best decisions and be as autonomous as humanly possible, they need as much information as they can consume. Well, when you give everyone else that same amount of information, magically the CEO isn't a genius anymore.”   “I would define synchronous as a lazy form of communication, which lacks documentation and produces an environment where 10 years down the road, you've got all of these people that are doing things but have no idea what they're doing or what goal they're serving.”   “Inside remote organizations, there is a digital paper trail for everything, because you're forced to actually produce that.”  

Eat That Frog! Full Book ReviewMore Content On Bookey Best App For Book Summary. In our workplace, each day we meet with various tasks of different complexities and deadlines. How do we allocate time for these tasks? Time management guru, Brian Tracy, shares the idea of eating the ugliest frog first, which is to tackle the toughest, most important task first. Overview | Chapter 1Hi, welcome to Bookey. Today we will unlock the book Eat That Frog!: 21 Great Ways to Stop Procrastinating and Get More Done in Less Time. Here's a common challenge we all face at work: There are two very urgent and difficult tasks in front of you, how should you choose? A newcomer in the workplace would usually get themselves in a knot while working on two tasks at the same time. But this is not very efficient. When doing one task, you worry about the progress of the other one. As a result, you can do neither tasks well. So, what is the correct approach? It is very simple. To complete both tasks quickly, you have to deal with the more difficult and arduous task first, complete it and then do the other. But there aren't always just two urgent tasks at your work each day. You may arrive at work in the morning and have multiple tasks to be done, each with different urgency. Then how do you choose? Time management guru Brian Tracy offers us a tip: eat the ugliest frog first. What does it mean? Here, the frog is the most difficult and important task for you. "Eating this frog" is to complete the most important and difficult task. As American writer Mark Twain once said, “Eat a live frog first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day.” If there are two, eat the uglier one first. This rule of eating the ugly frog first doesn't match the daily work habits of many people. Think back to when you arrived at your office in the morning, would you choose to complete the simple tasks first? Then, when you are ready to solve difficult tasks, psychological fear and resistance may lead you to play with your phone and relax. If some trivial tasks are temporarily added, such as sending emails and reimbursing expenses, then "eating this frog" will become a drag. Most people find it difficult to resist the temptation of doing first the easy then the difficult. After all, you can get obvious results by completing simple tasks first. But doing so will neither improve work efficiency, nor performance, because you can easily drag important and difficult tasks to the last minute and end up having to hastily complete them. In the bookey of Deep Work, we also analyzed other disadvantage of such a choice. Feel free to listen to it. As a result, if you want to use time more efficiently, improve work efficiency and performance, you must learn to eat that frog.

**BEST OF 2022** For productivity geeks like us, the professional writer can become a bit of a mystic figure. When we fantasise about finally perfecting our morning routines, finally clearing out enough time for a fruitful Deep Work session, setting up the ideal workstation - we're often thinking about a writer. There's something idyllic about the idea of being a writer: it's just you, your thoughts, and the blank page. It's the platonic ideal of knowledge work! But… it's not that simple. Take Brian Koppelman, for example. Inarguably one of the most prolific and successful screenwriters working today, you'd think Brian spends most of his life holed up in a cabin in the woods, clacking away on a typewriter, free from any and all distractions. But Brian lives in New York City, the busiest, most distracting place on the planet. Oh, and he's not just a screenwriter. He's also a director, producer, and showrunner. Brian's “average” day looks a lot less like that of a reclusive artist, and much more like that of a busy CEO. So, how does he still manage to produce so much incredible work? Brian shares how meditation, morning pages and music help him focus, and recalls the most powerful lessons he learned on the set of his very first film.

Ben Walsmith is just an average guy who a few years back, was grabbed by the lapels and spontaneously shaken awake by the universe. Put on a fast track of deprogramming, healing wounds and a remembering of the mystical, esoteric and occulted nature of reality. Two and a half years a nomad, allowing the universe to navigate the synchronistic, psycho spiritual and shamanic journey, inward while living on the terra in a Toyota it was a reconnecting to the soul, nature, spirit and the cosmos. Ben found peace and a more real existence. And that's when things began to get really weird.

My guest is Sam Harris, Ph.D. Sam earned his bachelor's degree in philosophy from Stanford University and his doctorate (Ph.D.) in neuroscience from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). He is the author of multiple best-selling books and is a world-renowned public-facing intellectual on meditation, consciousness, free will, psychedelics and neuroscience. He is also the creator of Waking Up and the host of the Making Sense podcast. In this episode, we discuss meditation as a route to understanding “the self” and experiencing consciousness, not just changing one's conscious state. Sam describes several meditation techniques and their benefits, including how meditation fundamentally changes our worldview and how it can be merged seamlessly into daily life. It can help us overcome universal challenges such as distractibility and persistent, internal dialogue (“chatter”) to allow for deep contentment and pervasive shifts in our awareness, all while acknowledging the more immediate stress-lowering and memory-improving effects of meditation. We also discuss the therapeutic use of psychedelics and the mechanistic similarities between the benefits of a psychedelic journey and long-term meditation practices. And we discuss the rationale behind Sam's recent decision to close his social media (Twitter) account. This episode should interest anyone wanting to learn more about the higher order functions of the brain, the brain-body connection, consciousness and, of course, meditation and why and how to meditate for maximum benefit.

Graham's primary passions are podcasting, researching, and helping others. Obsessed with learning and self-improvement, Graham and Darren started The Grimerica Podcast in 2013. Their show has continued to grow into a sizable and loving community. Most recently he's pursued a spin-off podcast, Grimerica Outlawed, and has narrated various audiobooks. A fast-paced life of corporate ladder climbing and competitive sports eventually took its toll, and Graham got completely clean and sober in 2008. Every year since then has been an escalating pursuit into the esoteric, occult, and spiritual arenas. Somewhere along the way he found time to travel around the world, become a Reiki master, get certified in Addiction Studies, facilitate Buddhist meditative recovery meetings, coach hockey, and lead numerous CE-5 expeditions (Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind). His journey has been one of achievement and compassion. Other professional management experiences includes Operations Manager at Premsteel Fabricators and several director positions with ACRO Aerospace: Director of Business Excellence, Director of Technical Services, and Director of Purchasing. However Graham's current focus is on raising his awareness, and enjoying living outside the city with the love of his life, Marija. In what spare time he has, he makes his mark in the imagination of others with the unparalleled skill of Dungeon Master Supreme.

Cal Newport of the Study Hacks blog shares his take on luck vs. skill. Episode 2607: Does Luck Matter More Than Skill by Cal Newport Cal Newport is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at Georgetown University, who specializes in the theory of distributed algorithms. He previously earned his Ph.D. from MIT in 2009 and graduated from Dartmouth College in 2004. In addition to studying the theoretical foundations of our digital age as a professor, Newport also writes about the impact of these technologies on the world of work. His most recent book, Deep Work, argues that focus is the new I.Q. in the knowledge economy, and that individuals who cultivate their ability to concentrate without distraction will thrive.

Tauber spent 12 years studying Jewish philosophy and religion in Hebrew and ancient Aramaic at the Maimonides School (Boston, MA, USA), where he was valedictorian. Afterwards, Tauber went to Yale University (New Haven, CT, USA) to prepare to become a doctor but changed course when he took a sculpture class with the critic, art historian, and conceptual artist Ronald Jones; who showed him the potential that art has to generate discourse and facilitate change.
