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. One thing you will discover if you begin reading around the subject of time management and productivity is the importance of planning your week and day.  Every successful person i have come across, or read about, never fails to plan their days and week. Every person who is struggling, and not achieving their goals are not.  Instead, they find excuses. “I'm too tired”, “I don't have time”, “I have more important things to do”, etc, etc.  Yet, there's more to it than that. It's not just about having a plan for the day and being clear about what needs to be done. it's also about protecting time for the important, but not urgent work, and knowing when to say no, when to push and when to pull back and take some rest. In essence, it's about understanding yourself and knowing your limits. So with that said, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice, for this week's question. This week's question comes from Tammy. Tammy asks, hi Carl, I'm trying to understand what I need to do to become more organised and productive. I know it's holding me back, but there's so much conflicting advice out there that I am confused. Can you help? Hi Tammy, thank you for your question. As I just alluded to, the best place to begin is to understand yourself.  This means knowing when you are at your most focused, when you are prone to distractions and how much sleep you need.  The chances are, if you stop and step back, you will already know this information. Perhaps you find yourself being able to get quite a lot of work done in the morning, but struggle in the afternoons. Or, you may come alive around 3 pm and can get a lot of work done then.  This knowledge, allows you to better structure your days. You can avoid meetings, where possible, at the times you are at your most focused, and rely on human connection to keep your energy levels up by holding meetings when you are less focused—there's something about human interaction that raises our energy levels. You can also ensure you are getting enough sleep, and that means being consistent when you wake up. As I recently learned, it's not the time you go to bed that matters, it's waking up at roughly the same time each day as that starts your 24 hour sleep/wake cycle.  If you mess around with your sleep/wake cycle, you will feel dreadful, and that destroys your productivity.  Once you have the basics locked in, you can then move on to structuring your days.  A couple of years ago, I wrote quite extensively about some famous authors. This was inspired by the book Daily Rituals by Mason Curry. In that book, Mason Curry wrote about incredibly productive people and how they got their work done.  One person, not featured in the book, I wrote about was author Jeffrey Archer. He writes a book every year, and he has his year structured to allow him to take care of writing the new book, promoting the book he wrote the previous year and dealing with his publishers, book cover designers and much more.  Archer also loves cricket. So his year is structured so he can reduce his workload in the summer when the cricket season is on.  This works brilliantly. Jeffrey Archer is consistent. Everyone who works with him knows he will be in Majorca between 27th December and the beginning of March writing his next book. They also know he will be available for meetings, promotions and events between March and June. From July to October, Archer is less available, and from October he's happy to do book tours, interviews and anything else his publisher needs him to do.  It's simple, consistent and makes working with Jeffrey Archer easy. Now, I know it's unlikely you are a multi-million selling author. It's likely you work in a place where there are multiple demands coming at you each day from bosses, customers and colleagues.  Demands such as wanting to know how you're getting on with this or that. If you dig a little deeper, though, most of these demands are because people don't trust that you remember that you committed to doing something for them.  What's the most common reason you chase someone up? It's most likely because you're worried they've forgotten they said they would do something for you.  Why is that? The most common reason is because most of the people we work with are inconsistent. And, yes, sometimes things fall through the cracks and get forgotten and we need to chase them up.  So, if you want less interruptions, which equals more time to do your work, be more consistent.  Consistent with your focus work times. Don't throw your hands up in the air and say “I cannot do that in my job”. You can. You just have to figure out how to communicate your focus work times.  As I was taught, if someone else can do it, so can you. If an airline pilot or surgeon can do their focused work without allowing distractions, so can you. Find the way. What do you have to do to resist interruptions?  So how do you become consistent? You put in place a structure for your day and for your week.  How much time do you need to stay on top of your communications each day? Most people tell me if they could have an hour daily dedicated to responding to messages and emails they would be on top of it. So schedule it.  The alternative is not good, is it? If you don't spend an hour on your messages today, how much time will you need tomorrow? If you skip tomorrow as well, now, how much time will you need? I'm sure you can find one hour a day, but to find three? That's verging on the impossible.  If you were responsible for sending out proposals to clients, how much time would you need for proposal writing to prevent a backlog?  You won't be accurate with your times; you don't have to be. You are using averages. If you get five proposals to write each day, and each proposal takes around thirty minutes to write, that means to prevent backlogs from appearing you need about two-and-a-half hours each day.  The only way you will be able to take care of your responsibility to send out the proposals would be to schedule two-and-a-half hours each day for doing the work. How else will you do it?  Now look at that from your colleagues's perspective? If they know you are consistent and are getting the proposals out on time, how likely will they be chasing and interrupting you?  That's what consistency does. It builds trust with your colleagues. They know once they send you a proposal to write, it will be done. So, they don't bother you asking if you've done it, yet.  My favourite all-time rugby player is Ellery Hanley. He was the greatest player of his generation. What made him so special? You could guarantee that if you made a break, he would always be right next to you, backing you up. This is what made him so good.  Sure he was tough, as all rugby players generally are. He was also fit and strong. But what made him so good was he consistently backed up his players. You knew if you broke your opponent's line, Ellery Hanley would be right there with you to take the ball and score.  Let's say you are that person responsible for writing proposals. You need two-and-a-half hours each day for proposal writing and an hour for your communications. That's just three-and-a-half hours you need to protect each day for your important work.  That still leaves you with four to five hours for anything else you may be required for. Is that impossible?  The final part to this is to plan your week and your day.  Planning the week is about looking at what you have to do and deciding what you will work on the following week. This will be influenced by your deadlines and what you have promised to others.  It will also be influenced by your personal life and your commitments there. If you have kids, they will have a big influence on your weekly plans too.  On a daily level, how many and when are your appointments for the day? what are your must do tasks? Must do tasks are non-negotiable. They must be done. Now, this means you do not want to have too many of these. I generally advise people to have no more than two.  By not allowing more than two must do tasks for the day, you are forced to prioritise. Prioritising is a learned skill. The more you practice it, the better, and faster, you will get at it.  I would also advise using a simple set of tools. A calendar, naturally, and a task manager. If you don't have a task manager now, choose one that's built into the devices you use. That would mean Apple Reminders if you use Apple tools, or Microsoft ToDo if you use a Windows system.  Once you have these tools—a calendar and a task manager, learn to use the tools. I see a lot of people regularly switching their tools in an erroneous belief that they will find the “perfect” tool. They won't the “perfect tool” does not exist.  The real secret is not the tools. It's how you run your day.  Make sure you plan each day, you are consistent doing the work you are employed to do and you get enough sleep.  Just those simple basic practices will improve your overall productivity. I can promise you it works every time.  Thank you, Tammy 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.

Dukes and Bell get into a conversation on NIL and the transfer portal and react to recent comments from Fran Brown as he spoke on why he selected to allow wide receiver Trebor Pena to transfer after requesting $2M to which he explained he did not believe Pena was worth the amount and was ok with him hitting the portal. As the guys share their thoughts, they each agree the best way for there to be some type of control with NIL and the portal will be for more coaches to take this type of stance. The guys then switch gears to some brief Hawks talk and bring up a tweet which asks should Quin Snyder's job be in question if the hawks are eliminated.

Harvard became the first major school to push back against the Trump administration's efforts against colleges. The administration told Harvard it would lose federal funding if it didn’t change hiring practices and address allegations of antisemitism. But Harvard rejected that request, saying it can't "allow itself to be taken over." William Brangham discussed more with Cornell William Brooks.

In today's episode, we begin with a story about a neighbor who demanded I remove the plants from my own yardnot because they were harming anyone,but because she simply didn't like them. What unfolds is a reminder that even in small confrontations,peace, patience, and presence can still grow something meaningful. This is one of four stories in today's lineupall from our vault, all rooted in real moments,and all told with stillness.

In hour two we discuss the NIL dispute at Tennessee and ask how you deal with these demands, Joe in another tennis incident, and Hollywood's Headlines.

Customs and Border Protection's Office of Information Technology says it's reviewing the loss of three physical servers, a public records request shows. According to a document produced by CBP's Cybersecurity Directorate, about 200 government devices have been stolen or gone missing in recent years. Of these devices, 140 were cell phones, and just under 40 were laptops. No items were reported to be lost abroad, according to the document. That federal employees would have lost phones and tablets isn't surprising. FedScoop has reported on lost electronics at the U.S. Agency for International Development and NASA, and agencies often review inventories of employee devices. Still, the loss of government-furnished equipment can raise concerns about the security of sensitive data. Some federal employees have even been caught stealing government IT equipment in order to sell it. The loss of three servers is somewhat unusual. The agency did not answer a series of questions about the lost servers, including what data they might have held or whether the losses were ever reported to law enforcement. In response to FedScoop questions, an agency spokesperson said, “CBP is currently reviewing this issue.” The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency must brief Congress on proposed deep cuts to agency personnel, a top Democrat said in a letter to its acting director. California Rep. Eric Swalwell, ranking member of the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Protection, wrote in the letter to acting Director Bridget Bean on Thursday that CISA is obligated to notify Congress of its plans. CISA reportedly plans to cut agency staff by nearly 40%, or 1,300 people. Swallwell wrote in his letter that “upending an agency that plays such an important role in defending the homeland while keeping Congress in the dark is wholly unacceptable,” adding that CISA hasn't provided the subcommittee any justification for the cuts or explained how it will execute its congressionally mandated mission with a fraction of the workforce and resources. CISA had already cut 130 probationary staffers, a move blocked in court before being overturned in an appeal. The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Monday-Friday afternoon.

 Protecting our environmentThe blue skies and warm weather of recent days is a reminder that spring will soon give way to summer. Everywhere the trees and flowers are coming into bloom and the dark evenings are retreating as our daylight hours increase. Regrettably, this change in weather also brings with it acts of vandalism, in particular the setting of wildfires that present a real danger to hill walkers, animals, local wildlife and the natural fauna.  Build Casement NowThe delay in building the new Casement Park is totally unacceptable.

His widespread imposition of tariffs threatens untold damage to the world's economies. In the USA the stock market has declined sharply and senior economists are warning of a deep recession. These too will adversely impact world economies. There is no indication that President Trump intends to change direction. On the contrary he appears to be digging in. Campaign for Moore Street Continues.

Friday April 11 was the Global Climate Strike called by Fridays For Future, the group started by Swedish teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg. More than 50 people, mainly students, demonstrated at the State Capitol in Albany. We hear music by Terri Roben; Ryan, the local FFF organizer; Mark Dunlea of PAUSE/350 Albany and GELF (Green Education and Legal Fund); Kelsey from UAlbany; Vena; Matt Oill from XR and Socialist Alternative; and Hannah and RPI Sunrise. With President Trump having declared war on the transition to clean, renewable energy, it is critical that state lawmakers and Governor Hochul reverse course and include major climate measures in the state budget, starting with NY Heat, GAP, and the Renewable Capitol Act. Many spoke about the need to oppose capitalism and colonialism.

Reese and Jasmin discuss a University of Pennsylvania Trustee's family foundation donating money to a pro-Israel blacklist group, South African authorities promising to investigate the sexual assault of a young girl after facing protests and criticism, and New York State's department of education saying it won't comply with Trump's anti-Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion demands in K-12 schools.

Edition No125 | 10-04-2025 - The Oval Office humiliation of Zelenskyy should have provided a warning of events to come – and we should not have assumed that ritual humiliation would be confined to the Ukrainian leader. Trump has loudly claimed that the whole world is “kissing his ass” because of the tariff terror he has threatened to unleash on the world.Trump now has China squarely in his sights, for the highest tariffs, but does he expect China will come more compliant and cooperative? The evidence so far suggests not. Where does the impulse come from to force leaders from around the world to know-tow to America, to “kiss Trump's ass” as he gleefully proclaimed in his speech earlier this week. It's certainly from rational geopolitics or diplomacy, or sound economics. More likely, it's Trump's own demons and insecurities that are summoning this global trade war into existence, and risking a global financial meltdown, recession and economic depression even. America has not elected a saviour to restore its golden age, but an ignorant and vengeful person, whose prejudices and caprices will burn the whole house down, if he remains in power for his full term of office.----------LINKS:https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-tariff-ass-kissing-nrcc-hannibal-b2729968.htmlhttps://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/tariffs-live-trump-90-day-pause-china-ftse-uk-markets-b2730660.htmlhttps://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/09/trump-tariffs-threaten-global-growth-and-raise-risk-of-severe-shocks-says-bank-of-englandhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c7vnn6y6g82ohttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cn4jjw30d5qt ----------Easter Pysanky: Silicon Curtain - https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/easter-pysanky-silicon-curtainCar for Ukraine has joined forces with a group of influencers, creators, and news observers during this special Easter season.

Jared makes the case that the Titans should sit their projected #1 overall pick Cam Ward for the 2025 NFL season, and it kinda makes sense. Plus, Nico Iamaleava is asking to renegotiate his NIL deal at Tennessee ahead of the transfer portal opening. Is he worth? How will Vols fans react?

You have come into the light of His Face. You are conscious of His Everlasting Arms.You are conscious of what was hidden. It says in the Gospel of Philip that Jesus is His hidden Name.It's been revealed to you.Call on It, sing It, shout It, share It. "I heard their voices and I treasured their faith in my heart. And I sealed My Name upon their foreheads. For they are free men and they are mine." -Odes of Solomon, John Davidson Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah.I love you, nik nikki@curlynikki.comPlease support the show: ▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmornings▶▶ Cash App $NikWalton __________________________________________Surrender Novena Day 9 - Father Dolindo Ruotolo"Pray always in readiness to surrender, and you will receive from it great peace and great rewards, even when I confer on you the grace of immolation, of repentance and of love. Then what does suffering matter? It seems impossible to you? Close your eyes and say with all your soul, “Jesus, you take care of it”. Do not be afraid, I will take care of things and you will bless my name by humbling yourself. A thousand prayers cannot equal one single act of surrender, remember this well. There is no novena more effective than this: O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus.Amen""See thoughts and feelings like a train that enters a station and then leaves; be like the station, not like a passenger." ~ Rupert Spira"Jesus" is a hidden name; "Christ" is a revealed name. So "Jesus" is not translated, but he's called by his name "Jesus." But the name "Christ" in Syriac is "Messiah," in Greek "Christ, and all the others have it according to their own language. "The Nazarene" reveals what's hidden. Christ has everything within himself, whether human or angel or mystery, and the Father."- Gospel of Philip "Take a deep breath, put a hand on your heart and repeat out loud: "It is safe for me to re-member who I was before I learned to hide." Deep breath. Thinking the world is not ready for your light is most likely your ego's way to rationalize your self repression. The earth has not only been ready for your light... now she demands it. If you think expressing your pain is vulnerable, try expressing your brightness without holding back." - @xavier.dagba
