The Baltimore Ravens are quiet buyers at the NFL trade deadline. But some moves that preceded the deadline might be impactful for the Ravens as they move deeper into the regular season with postseason aspirations. Will it be enough? And who is behind the conservative attitude that the Baltimore Ravens are known when it comes to making big moves? #nfl #ravensflock #baltimoreravens #nflreactions Join us in YouTube Membership: https://www.youtube.com/c/410SportsTalk Follow us on social media: Instagram: @410sportstalk X (Twitter): @410_sportstalk Check out our merch: https://410-sports-talk.creator-spring.com/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Fateful Choices | The Sin of Covetousness and Unbelief | 11 04 2025

Ross Tucker joins the WIP Morning Team to discuss the Eagles win over the Giants.

We've all had those weeks where the pipeline, the budget, and the inbox gang up on us. Here's a quick, visual method to cut through noise, regain focus, and turn activity into outcomes: the focus map plus a six-step execution template. It's simple, fast, and friendly for time-poor sales pros.  How does a focus map work, and why does it beat a long to-do list? A focus map gets everything out of your head and onto one page around a single, central goal—so you can see priorities at a glance. Instead of scrolling endless tasks, draw a small circle in the centre of a page for your key focus (e.g., "Time Management," "Client Follow-Up," "Planning"). Radiate related sub-topics as circled "planets": prioritisation, block time, Quadrant Two focus, weekly goals. This simple visual cues the brain to spot what moves the needle first and what's just distraction. In 2025's noisy, Slack-popping world, mapping beats lists because you see interdependencies, not just items. It's a low-tech cognitive offload that scales across roles—from B2B SDRs to enterprise AEs—in Japan, the US, or Europe alike.  Do now: Grab a blank page, pick one central outcome, and sketch 6–8 sub-topics in 3 minutes. What's the six-step template I should run on each sub-topic? Use this repeatable mini-playbook: (1) Area of focus, (2) My current attitude, (3) Why it matters, (4) Specific actions, (5) Desired results, (6) Impact on vision. Walk a single sub-topic (say, "Prioritisation") through all six prompts to turn fuzzy intent into daily behaviour. This prevents feel-good plans that never reach your calendar. The key is specificity: "Block 90 minutes at 9:00 for top-value tasks, phone on Do Not Disturb" beats "be more organised." Leaders can cascade the same template in pipeline reviews or weekly one-on-ones to connect tasks to strategy and help teams self-coach.  Do now: Copy the six prompts onto a sticky note and keep it next to today's focus map. Can you show a concrete sales example for time management? Yes—prioritisation in practice looks like: organise, calendarise, and execute the top-value items first, every day.Start by acknowledging the usual blocker: "I never get around to it." Then translate to action: buy or open your organiser, maintain a rolling to-do list, and block time in your calendar for the highest-value, highest-priority items before anything else. Desired result: your best time goes to tasks with the greatest impact (e.g., discovery calls with ICP accounts, proposal updates due this week). Vision impact: consistency compounds—your effectiveness rises, and so does your contribution to team revenue. This is classic Quadrant Two discipline (important but not urgent) adapted for post-pandemic hybrid work.  Do now: Book tomorrow's first 90 minutes for your top two revenue drivers and guard it like gold. How should I prioritise when markets differ (Japan vs US vs Europe) or company size varies? Anchor priorities to value drivers that don't care about borders: ICP fit, deal stage risk, and time-to-impact. In Japan (often relationship-led and consensus-driven), prioritise follow-up and multi-stakeholder alignment; in the US (speed + experimentation), prioritise high-velocity outreach and fast iteration; in Europe (privacy/regulatory sensitivities), prioritise compliant messaging and local context. Startups should weight pipeline creation and early GTM proof; multinationals should weight cross-functional alignment, forecasting hygiene, and large-account expansion. The focus map adapts: the central circle stays constant ("Close Q4 revenue"), while the "planets" change by market and motion (ABM research vs channel enablement vs security reviews).  Do now: Label each sub-topic with the market or motion it best serves (e.g., "JP enterprise," "US SMB," "EU regulated"). How do I turn focus maps into weekly cadence without burning out? Run a lightweight loop: Monday map, daily 90-minute deep-work block, Friday review—then iterate. On Monday, pick one central theme (e.g., "Client Follow-Up") and 6–8 sub-topics. Each morning, choose one sub-topic and run the six-step template; protect a single 90-minute block to execute. On Friday, review outcomes vs. desired results, retire what's done, and promote what worked. Leaders can add a shared "focus wall" for visibility and coaching. This cadence blends time-blocking (Cal Newport), Eisenhower Quadrants, and sales hygiene—without heavy software. As of 2025, hybrid teams using this approach report better handoffs, cleaner CRM notes, and fewer "busy but not productive" days.  Do now: Schedule next week's Monday-Friday 09:00–10:30 focus block in your calendar. What are the red flags and watch-outs that kill focus? Beware "activity inflation," tool thrashing, and priority drift. Activity inflation = doing more low-value tasks to feel productive. Tool thrashing = bouncing between apps without finishing work. Priority drift = letting other people's urgencies displace your high-value commitments. Countermeasures: (1) Tie each sub-topic to a KPI (meetings booked, qualified pipeline, cycle time), (2) pre-decide your top two daily outcomes before opening email, (3) make your Friday review public to your manager or team to add gentle social accountability. Keep the map hand-drawn or one-page digital; if it takes longer to maintain than to act, you've over-engineered it.  Do now: Add KPI labels beside three sub-topics and delete one low-value "busywork" task today. Is there a quick checklist I can copy for my team? Use this one-pager and recycle it weekly. Central focus (one phrase): ____________________ Planets (6–8 sub-topics): ____________________ Six Steps per sub-topic: Area of focus → 2) My attitude → 3) Why it matters → 4) Specific actions → 5) Desired results → 6) Impact on vision Time block: 90 minutes daily, device on Do Not Disturb KPIs: meetings booked, pipeline $, cycle time, win rate Friday review: what shipped, what's next, what to drop This blends visual clarity (map) with behavioural clarity (six steps), making it easy for sales managers to coach and for reps to self-manage under pressure.  Do now: Print this checklist for the team stand-up and agree on one shared KPI for the week. Conclusion Focus maps + a six-step template turn overwhelm into action. They help you see what matters, schedule it, and ship it—fast. Start with one central goal, map the "planets," and run one sub-topic per day through the six prompts. That's how you get better results when time is tight.  Optional FAQs What's the difference between a focus map and mind map? A focus map is smaller and execution-oriented: one central outcome and 6–8 sub-topics you'll actually schedule this week.  How many sub-topics are ideal? Six to eight forces trade-offs; more invites sprawl and context switching.  How quickly should I see results? Usually within two weeks once you're blocking 90 minutes daily for the top-value tasks.  Next Steps for Leaders Run a 30-minute "Monday Map" with your team; pick one shared KPI. Make the 90-minute deep-work block part of your sales playbook. Review focus maps in pipeline meetings; coach actions, not anecdotes.    About the Author Dr. Greg Story, Ph.D. in Japanese Decision-Making, is President of Dale Carnegie Tokyo Training and Adjunct Professor at Griffith University.

We asked a simple, generative question: Which systems have we replaced, and with what alternatives? A clear chorus answers: we've lost too much to speed and spectacle, and we're committed to building slower, more human infrastructures of care. Across voices, we hear a shift from optimization to stewardship, from extraction to relation, from technology to meaning. “We've emphasized education and the arts and rethought our political infrastructure for something more humane.” —Radha M. This is a practical imagination. It doesn't trade in slogans; it drafts replacements—communication that protects dignity, mobility that privileges access, governance that codes care, and practices that rehearse the futures we want. Which system will you replace—and what will you grow there instead? Learn more about Deem at www.deemjournal.com

Veronique de Rugy critiques US tax "carveouts," identifying them as inefficient special interest deductions that often fail to incentivize desired behaviors, citing employer health insurance and mortgage interest deductions. While a flat tax would streamline the system and boost economic growth by focusing on consumption, de Rugy emphasizes that no tax system alone can resolve the severe US debt crisis; crucial reforms to Social Security and Medicare are indispensable. 1870 SIEGE OF PARIS

On the Secret Witch Show today, Nicole is illuminating the tender ache that arises when witches dare to want - and then feel unworthy to receive it. This episode is a healing invocation for the women who are opening to name their true desires - only to find shame, doubt, and old fear flooding in. It's for the sensitive-hearted magic-makers who have danced with their longings, but still hesitate at the threshold of letting them come in. In this episode, we explore why desire is sacred (not selfish), how the Witch uses longing as a compass, and what it really takes to receive what we've called in - without burning out, bypassing your body, or shrinking into unworthiness. Nicole weaves the radiant flame of Archetypal Phosphorus through the journey of feminine creation, sharing somatic wisdom, soul stories, and a liberating reframe of manifestation as a state of being. If you've been hovering at the edge of your deepest longing to create a life as a healer witch, this one is for you. What You'll Learn from this Episode: Desire isn't selfish - it's sacred. It's how our inner Witch whispers “this way” to our soul. Naming what we truly want is a powerful spell to create it. Shaming our desires drains our life-force. Suppression doesn't keep us safe - it keeps us sick. Manifesting our desires is actually a return to health and vitality. You're already manifesting - always. The question is, are you creating from your soul, or from your unconscious wounding? If you've experienced trauma, receiving might feel unsafe - but it's not our fault. Our body learned to protect us this way. And now, our healing begins by gently opening again. The feminine body is built to receive - but how safe do you feel in unapologetic pleasure, in asking for what you need, in being seen in your desires? Desire is our birthright - not something we earn when you're finally ‘worthy enough'. The Witch within you already knows she is worthy of a life that lights her up.

The most fatal words ever spoken by a leader are , “it will be faster if I do it myself”.  No it won't.  If you want to scare yourself, sit down and write down all the tasks that you face both regular and irregular.  That is one long, long list for leaders.  Are you really going to be able to get through all of these items and take care of filing your taxes on time, see the kids sports events, have a romantic dinner with your partner, lie on the couch and read a book, magazine or the newspapers?  In short, you won't, because you will be working all of the time, putting off life to earn a living.  The treadmill you should be the on is the one down at the gym, not the one where you are working like a dog, because you are trying to do it all yourself. Inherently, we know we should delegate, but we have had prior bad experiences with it and are now gun shy about using this important tool in our leader toolkit.  When I was growing up in Australia there was a common expression that “a good workman doesn't blame his tools”.  Delegation gets a bad rap because it is a misused tool and the tool itself is fine.  What we are mistaking is dumping for delegating.  What does dumping look like?  My old boss at Jones Lang LaSalle literally dumped two huge file collations on my desk, with a “whump”, they were so thick.  He just said “take care of this” and walked away.  I had to take on the work in those files, but there was no guidance, no instructions, I just had to work it by myself.  Is there a simple and better way to make sure that as the leader we are only working on the most high level tasks that only we can do? Here is an eight step process to make delegation work for you. Step One: Identify The Need Among the many tasks facing us, which ones will lend themselves to being delegated and what does a successful delegation outcome look like in our mind? Step Two: Select The Person This may sound counterintuitive, but select the person on the basis of how this delegated task will help them achieve their goals.  Wait a minute?  Isn‘t the delegation about me achieving my leader goals of getting work off my leader desk?  Actually no.  We are focused on using delegation to build leader bench strength in the organisation not playing “pass the parcel” at work.  Think about the team and identify which strengths need attention and how this piece of work will build this person's capabilities. Step Three: Plan The Delegation Meeting We don't plan to fail, but we fail to plan and this is one of the big missing pieces in the delegation puzzle.  Leaders will just willy-nilly grab the person and starting downloading what they want them to do, without thinking the conversation through in any meaningful way.  There are three sub-goals involved here. Desired outcome – what is the outcome to be accomplished and what does success look like? Think ahead to be able to explain what is in it for the person receiving the task. Current Situation – Clearly analyse where we are today both internally and externally. What factors may hinder or help this delegation? Goals – Define and set goals which are reasonable and yet challenging. Step Four: Hold The Delegation Meeting There are four subset goals. Identify their vision or goals. We are trying to align the task with their own goals so we need to be clear what is in it for them. Identify specific results to be achieved. We need to make success clear and also talk about the strengths they have which will allow them to succeed in this task. Outline the rules and limitations. There are bound to be resource limitations around time, money and people.  These need to be made clear from the start. Review the performance standards. To what level of sophistication are they required to deliver results? Step Five: Create A Plan Of Action We don't create the plan – they do.  This is important to  give them authority and ownership of how this task gets done. Step Six: Review Their Plan They create it but we must check it so that we are all on the same page and have a clear understanding of what happens next. Step Seven: Implement the Plan If there are other people going to be impacted by the plan then the leader's job is to clear the way and provide any needed air cover, while the task is under way. Step Eight: Follow Up Without micro managing the task, the leader needs regular progress updates so that everything is going as expected and there are no surprises at the end. None of these steps are diabolically difficult or complex.  Well then, why don't all leaders follow them?  It could be because they haven't thought about a process for delegation or they fear the time required for Steps Three and Four. Stop procrastinating.  These two steps, Three and Four, are not that big a time steal, so suck it up and get going.  You will never have the time available which you need, unless you start seeing delegation as a tool to develop the talents of your subordinates and treat the whole process that way.  Delegation is just Latin for coaching!

This week, I speak with Cara Blondo. Whether through teaching Bible studies, speaking to groups in person or online, or writing devotional and other Christ-centered resources, Cara is passionate about helping women connect Biblical truth to their everyday lives. A contributor to YouVersion and featured on Proverbs 31, (in)courage, Her View From Home, and other popular sites, she loves to help women shift their perspective in order to know Christ as their one thing desired (Psalm 27:4). When Cara isn't studying or sharing what she's learned from God's Word, you can find her at her favorite place (the beach at sunset) with her favorite people (her husband and their four children). Cara would love to connect online at “The One Thing Desired” or on Facebook and Instragram as well as YouVersion and through her podcast entitled “Perspective Shifts.” We look at her childhood up to the present to find the beautiful thread of Jesus in her life.
