In this episode, I discuss neuroscience and psychology studies that address the basis of willpower and tenacity, how they differ from motivation and how we can all increase our levels of willpower and tenacity. I discuss whether willpower is a limited resource, the controversial “ego depletion” theory of willpower and the role that beliefs play in determining our tenacity and willpower. Then, I discuss the neural basis of willpower in the brain and body and how tenacity and willpower relate to sleep, stress, focus, and possibly lifespan. Then, I provide a series of science-supported tools and protocols to increase your level of tenacity and willpower.

How do we regulate our impulsive emotions, resist temptation, break bad habits, and come up to our best potential - and why do we sometimes run short? Is willpower anything like muscle power?    In this episode, we welcome prominent social psychologist Roy F. Baumeister, who has published some 700 scientific works, including 40 books. A recipient of many awards, in 2013 Roy received the highest award given by the Association for Psychological Science, the William James Fellow award, in recognition of his lifetime achievements.   Roy has studied major aspects of the self, the pros and cons of self-esteem, and why it is so hard to do mentally effortful tasks, like studying long hours for a math exam. He is especially known for his work on willpower, self-control, ego depletion, and the dark side of self esteem — how these factors relate to human morality and life success, and can even trigger interpersonal violence.   Talking Points   0:00 - Intro  04:44 - Is mental effort (willpower) analogous to a muscle? 09:32 - Eating glucose can help restore mental energy.  20:50 -  “Ego Depletion” is another useful analogy.  24:32 - The Practical Implications of Baumeister's Work. 34:27 -  Practice can make mental effort easier.  45:24 - Is Free Will An Illusion?

Hear it Here - http://bit.ly/DecisionMakingHollins00:02:08 Ego Depletion 00:08:48 Combat Decision Fatigue00:14:40 Impulsive and knee-jerk reactions usually turn out to be very bad or wrong.00:15:19 Lower Transaction Costs• The concept of ego depletion is important because it leads directly to decision fatigue. With overuse, certain cognitive processes can flag and wane, in exactly the same way that muscles tire with extended exercise.• When you reach decision fatigue, your decisions become incredibly suboptimal because you will either become paralyzed or make a rash, unresearched decision. Your willpower can perform weakly, in the same way that a tired muscle is just not as strong. • How can you preemptively deal with the effects of ego depletion and willpower fatigue? You can time your decisions wisely such that they made only when rested such as in the morning or after a rest or a meal• You can categorize the trivial daily decisions you have and make sure to only allot a trivial amount of time to them, drawing limits on how much attention you'll spend on inconsequential decisions. Ask what risks are attached to a decision, the impact it will have, and whether you'll care about it in a month's time. • You can treat yourself like an athlete and make sure you are mentally tapering off in preparation of big decisions, you can give yourself more time than is necessary to reduce the role of stress and anxiety. Anxiety and low mood can color our decisions. Don't rush!• You can also work on manipulating your transaction costs to make good decisions more of a default option, while bad decisions are more difficult. • By automating as many decisions as possible, you take certain decisions out of your hands and get them done without you needing to spend any extra effort. Use tools, habits and routines to make good decisions automatic, saving your mental resources for those truly demanding decisions. #AnalysisParalysis #Baumeister #EgoDepletion #MentalBandwidth #MentalFatigue #MentalResources #TrivialDecisions #PrimedForGoodDecisions #RussellNewton #NewtonMG #PeterHollins #TheScienceofSelf #TheArtofStrategicDecisionMaking/home/russell/temp/muscle-strong/muscle-strong-african-american-man-standing-on-street-while-break-in-training-7869680-Barbara-Olsen.jpg

Today's episode is another refresh from the series I did on “All the Biases” back in 2019. Two weeks ago on episode 242 we had the one on numbers-based bias called “Math is Hard” and this week is all about time. It focuses on the past and the future and how we don't look at them in the same way, and how that can impact our behavior (it isn't always the same and our preferences definitely change when we are looking forward versus backward) and how this changes the way we value things and so much more.  I chose to refresh this episode today because this coming Friday, Dolly Chugh is on the show to talk about her new book, A More Just Future. We talk specifically about how the way we look backward isn't the same as when we look forward, and how that impacts our likelihood to take action. Even when we are furious in the moment, and are adamant we will take action, because the past and future don't impact our behavior the same way we often don't. This can be really problematic when we are looking to right the wrongs of the past and present for a better future.  As you listen today, I encourage you to consider how the past, present, and future are different for you. Think of a time when you were outraged by something in the moment and said (either aloud or in your head) that you were absolutely going to do or say something and never did. Why is that? When you remember that incident do you feel as upset about it? What if you heard it was going to happen tomorrow or a week from now? What might you do to prevent it? Why do the past and future feel different and how can this knowledge change the way you support other humans? Show Notes: [00:39] Today's episode is another refresh from the series I did on “All the Biases” back in 2019. [01:39] Because the past and future don't impact our behavior the same way, it can really be problematic when we are looking at history and helping to right the wrongs of the past and present. [03:48] People want immediate payoffs.  [06:23] Due to impact bias, we overestimate the duration of the intensity of the impact of how we will feel in the future. We are also victims of projection bias.  [08:26] To prove a point now you might be making a choice that negatively impacts your future self.  [10:08] The sunk cost fallacy is where people will keep spending and justify pouring into a bad prior investment even though evidence shows it is bad.  [12:37] As your brain gets overwhelmed your subconscious is more likely to take the reins, meaning you will make more battery and present-focused decisions instead of snowball, future-focused decisions.  [14:05] In the cold state we may know that something is a good idea and commit ourselves that when you are in a hot state you don't have the option to let that hot self take over and make a bad decision about the present.   [16:03] People think that when you are in that cold state you're not going to require, need, or want whatever the things are as much as you actually will when your body chemistry has changed to the hot state.    [16:49] People are impacted more by losses than gains and it takes double the joy felt by a gain to equal the pain that is felt by a loss.   [18:03] You may consciously want to stop dreading something. However, as long as your subconscious is still getting some kind of reward or benefit from the physical act of dreading you would need a lot of extra savoring, positive benefit, and something to enjoy at the moment to combat the dread.  [20:45] We do not really like risks and will avoid them when we can. Due to a zero risk bias, we humans prefer to reduce a small risk down to nothing than we would like to take a bigger reduction in a larger risk.  [22:27] When you think you are safer, you are more likely to take risks in other areas. For example, people drive worse when wearing a seatbelt. [25:01] Because we don't want to change, we may ostrich and avoid the potential negative even at our own personal cost.    [26:13] For one person to succeed it does not mean everyone else has to lose or fail.  [28:52] When you know the rules of the game (all these biases and how they work together) it can be easier than you think to trick your brain into doing more in your own favor and use these biases in your favor so you can make decisions today that you will appreciate tomorrow or help get yourself out of a negative spiral.  [31:52] Melina's closing thoughts [32:37] Time discounting is such a big hurdle for us but knowing about it and how it combines with bikeshedding, planning fallacy, and optimism bias is the first step in tackling this.  Thanks for listening.

Another episode in our series of episodes about human cognitive biases.In this one, I talk about Cognitive load, which is an overarching phenomenon that affects our moment-to-moment state of being and thus, affects our ability to make decisions, to understand and process information - in short, it affects how we think. And hence, being aware of it is important.I also briefly touch upon the need for meditation, and why it is something that everyone should incorporate in their everyday lives.This episode is as everyday-life as it gets when it comes to pragmatic philosophy, wisdom and understanding.

Contrary to the “ego depletion” theory, willpower is not a depletable resource if you know how to use it wisely. It's common to hear people complain about feeling “burned out” or “spent” these days. However, these terms conjure a completely incorrect view of willpower–based on a theory psychologists call “ego depletion.” You can read the NirAndFar blog post on: Good News!

I hope you had a great weekend. I had a long one. One day extra makes it feel so much longer. Almost like you got two Sundays. I am a bit extra happy since yesterday I got my first covid shot. Yeah! Last week I actually finished two different books. One of them is the The Data Detective by Tim Harford that I will talk about today.  This books is a book a about statistics. But don't worry, there is almost no math at all in it. When Harford was young – or at least younger, he read Darrel Huffs book “How to lie with statistics” and loved it. This is a classical book talking about how statistics commonly is being used by fraudsters and tricksters to manipulate people. Statistics has gotten a pretty bad name and Harford claims this has had negative consequences on peoples life and wellbeing. The fight to prove that cigarettes where causing cancer was one of these classical evidences. Harfords intentions with this book is to persuade the reader that statistics can be used to illuminate reality with clarity and honesty. The book is split up in ten main chapters or the 10 rules. I personally don't like when books are being split like this. Why is it always an even and nice number – wouldn't it make sense to have 12 rules or 8? I have studied quite a bit of maths at the university and statistics being one of the subjects. Thus a lot of the things he discussed was things that wasn't anything new to me. But if you are less well versed in math I think it gives a pretty good insight into the world of numbers and what do matter. The chapter that spoke most to me was the fifth rule. This was addressing survivorship bias and related to this publication bias. And how these two biases impact modern science and especially the softer sciences like psychology. Harford talks in the book about research being done and we only see the result, the successful experiments. We don't see what was done and didn't work. This sometimes leads to what is called HARKing – it means Hypothesizing After Results Known. And it means that a scientist does his experiments – looks at the data and then makes the hypothesize – and it will then of course be true. It is nothing wrong looking at data and making hypothesizes – but they then needs to be validated using different experiments. Daniel Kahneman, nobel laureate and author of thinking fast and slow, and others have been pretty vocal about the state of the science and especially the experiments done. It is a “Train Wreck” to happen. And these discussions has lead to scientist pre-registering their experiments so that HARKing becomes harder. There is also a global effort to retest well known experiments and trying to replicate them. This has in some cases lead to some corner stone research to be questioned when it wasn't possible to be replicated. The Ego Depletion theory is one of these. But in this specific case the debate is still ongoing since it wasn't the original experiments that where being replicated. It is quite interesting to follow the discussion and se how the research is done. A second section I like was when Harford talks about illustrated statistics and this in the form of graphs. He here talks a lot about Florens Nightingale – the British nurse that brought hygiene to military hospitals and completely changed medical history. What many people probably doesn't know was that she was a statistician and created one of the first really successful graphs that is called the rose diagram. This was specifically to illustrate the severe state in the military hospitals. And it really worked. She got her message through. Which is an extraordinary feat since she was a woman and succeeded in a heavily man dominated space. A great roll model. I don't think the book will change my life in any major way. I learned a great deal about statistics – especially linked to the scientific space. Most of the other areas he talks about was not, to me, any major news. But if you think statistics is an area held in shadow or potentially a bit magical. This is a great book to give you some guide lines and things to think about when you are approached with statistics: watch your feelings, be curious.

Hur ska vi hantera forskning som fastnat i replikationskrisens nät? Vad gör vi med datan, metoden, resultaten och teorierna? I det här avsnittet tar vi ego depletion som exempel, och försöker förstå vad vi ska göra med all forskning som visar sig vara mindre robust än vad vi tidigare trott. Simon och Pontus bråkar, Kristoffer väljer sida(?) och vi hinner också spekulera om vad Williams hobby utanför jobbet är (hint: pingviner).

Ever heard of the marshmallow experiment? The 10,000 hour rule? How about the Dunning-Kruger effect, the Stanford prison experiment, or willpower fatigue? These are some of the most well-known pieces of research from the social sciences. And they all share one problem: they're wrong. Or, at least, they're really misunderstood.On this episode of "10 Good Minutes," Forrest explores social science's Replicability Crisis, and asks whether you can actually trust the research that goes into Being Well.If you'd like to watch this episode rather than listen to it, Forrest has a new YouTube channel!

His primary appointment is as Professor in the Department of Psychology, but he is also cross-appointed as Professor at the Rotman School of Management. Dr. Inzlicht conducts research that sits at the boundaries of social psychology, cognitive science, and neuroscience. Although he has published papers on the topics of prejudice, academic performance, and religion, his most recent interests have been in the topics of self-control, where he borrows methods from affective and cognitive neuroscience to understand the underlying nature of self-control, including how it is driven by motivation. In this episode, we focus most of our conversation of self-control and things related to it. First, I ask about social neuroscience, and what Dr. Inzlicht thinks are the kinds of insights we can get from neuroscience about social psychology phenomena. We then get into self-control, and talk about what is it, and the concept of self-control strength. We address a paper from 2018 that tried to replicate Walter Mischel's marshmallow test, and the capacity to delay gratification. We also refer to one aspect of the recent APA guidelines for psychological practice with men and boys, namely the repression/suppression of emotions. Still about self-control, we discuss the interplay between emotion and cognition, the life outcomes associated with this ability, and if there are any good interventions proven to improve it. We then tackle aspects of the replication crisis in Psychology, and go through some examples of phenomena that have recently been questioned, like the ego-depletion effect and stereotype threat. -- Follow Dr. Inzlicht's work: Personal website: http://bit.ly/2REaBTV Two Psychologists Four Beers podcast: http://bit.ly/2PAjLy3 -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: KARIN LIETZCKE, ANN BLANCHETTE, PER HELGE LARSEN, LAU GUERREIRO, JERRY MULLER, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, YEVHEN BODRENKO, AIRES ALMEIDA, BERNARDO SEIXAS, HERBERT GINTIS, RUTGER VOS, RICARDO VLADIMIRO, BO WINEGARD, VEGA GIDEY, CRAIG HEALY, OLAF ALEX, PHILIP KURIAN, JONATHAN VISSER, DAVID DIAS, ANJAN KATTA, JAKOB KLINKBY, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, JOHN CONNORS, PAULINA BARREN, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ARTHUR KOH, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, MAX BEILBY, COLIN HOLBROOK, SUSAN PINKER, THOMAS TRUMBLE, PABLO SANTURBANO, AND SIMON COLUMBUS!

This episode is about present versus future biases. This is part 4 of our 8 part series about biases. We've already talked about personal biases, how we think about ourselves versus other people, and memories. When it comes to present versus future, people want their payoffs now, so humans tend to place a greater weight on the outcome that is closer to now. Other things that impact our decisions include losses and risks. We are impacted more by losses than gains. We are also biased towards maintaining the status quo. I talk about optimism bias and even pessimism bias. When you know the rules of the game, it can be easier than you think to trick your brain into doing more in your favor – whether it is making choices today that you will appreciate tomorrow, or helping to get yourself out of a negative spiral. This episode will help you understand why we tend to make decisions a certain way and enable you to make better decisions for your business and your life. Show Notes: [04:10] People want their payoffs as quickly as possible. We place greater weight on things that happen closer to now. [04:31] This is closely tied to time discounting (what I call the “I’ll start Monday effect”). [04:39] We tend to make decisions today that our future self may not be as happy about. [05:39] Due to diversification or projection bias, we may think our future self will want more variety than we really want or will use. [06:07] You think you'll want options that are more virtuous - could be related to optimism bias. [07:14] Due to impact bias, we overestimate the duration of intensity of the impact of how we will feel in the future. [07:50] We are also victim to projection bias, which means we overestimate how much our future self will share the preferences we have today. [08:34] Reactance is the urge to rebel and do the opposite of what someone wants you to do to hold on to some form of control and power. [10:44] Irrational escalation – also known as the sunk cost fallacy – where people will keep spending and justify pouring money into a bad prior investment even though evidence shows it is bad. [12:43] As your brain gets overwhelmed your subconscious is more likely to take the reigns, meaning you will make more battery and present-focused decisions. [13:47] The hot-cold empathy gap finds that in a cold state it's much easier to make better decisions then in a hot state or in the moment. [16:01] The reverse is the cold-hot empathy gap where smokers underestimated their cravings to smoke when they were in a cold state. [17:26] People are impacted more by losses than gains – and it takes double the joy felt by a gain to equal the pain felt by a loss. [17:52] Dread aversion – dread results in double the emotional impact of savoring. [20:11] We tend to beef up the status quo and defend it more than may be warranted because of system justification. [20:33] Due to normalcy bias and not wanting to think about change, we may refuse to plan for or have the proper reaction to a disaster which has never happened before. [21:35] Due to a zero risk bias, we will prefer to reduce a small risk down to nothing than taking a bigger reduction in a larger risk. [22:47] Because of risk compensation or the Peltzman effect, we are more likely to take a greater risk when our perceived safety increases. [24:26] Because of the pseudocertainty effect we are more likely to make choices that avoid risk if the expected outcome is a good one, but seek out risk in an attempt to avoid a negative outcome. Which could lead to the ostrich effect or ignoring a negative situation. [26:06] A predisposition toward viewing the past in a positive way and the future in a negative way is called declinism. [26:21] The pessimism bias is to overestimate the likelihood of negative things happening to us in the future. [26:42] A zero sum bias is where you think that the only way one person gains is at the expense of another. [27:05] Look for the win win. For one person to succeed, it doesn't mean that another person has to fail. [27:25] Negativity bias is when it's easier for us to remember negative memories over positive memories. The worse than average effect is where we believe that we are worse at tasks than average people are. [29:06] Acting like a confident, optimistic person can create the benefits as if you are confident and optimistic. [29:44] When you know the rules of the game, it can be easier than you think to trick your brain into doing more in your favor and using these biases as your advantage. Thanks for listening.

Is self-control something that we an think of as a resource that can be depleted and replenished? It's been a popular model in psychology for years, but it has come under question recently. We discuss "Why self-control seems like (but may not be) limited", a paper by Inzlicht and colleagues that proposes an alternate model.

What exactly is willpower and how do we get more of it? Willpower researcher Michael Inzlicht joins host Keith McArthur to talk about his research into self-control, and why the best way to master willpower might be to avoid having to rely on it.

In today's episode, we're going to talk about different tactics and times of day to make tough vs. easy decisions during your day.

In their most emotional episode yet, Yoel and Mickey discuss the replication crisis in psychology. What is meant by the replication crisis and how did it get started? Why does it appear like the field is split into two, with some young academics actively trying to reform psychology and more senior scholars suggesting the problems have been mostly overstated? How have academics dealt with the possibility that their own work might not be robust and replicable? Finally, how did one of the most notorious academic fraudsters get caught? Bonus: Did Mickey spike Toxoplasma gondii (crazy cat lady parasite) in Yoel’s beer?

“You may fetter my leg, but Zeus himself cannot get the better of my free will.”  - Epictetus Do you have the free will to do whatever you want to do?  "Of Course! I'm an independent individual who can make any decision I desire..." you might say at first breath... But do you remember all those times You've skipped a workout just because you don't feel like it You opted for that piece of cake when at a dinner party You spazzed out in anger at that asshole who cut in front of you You can't stay focused on reading because your monkey mind keeps distracting you And my favorite... You make life-determining decisions based on how it affects your position in the dominance hierarchy of your social group and peers Do you still have FREE WILL?  In the midst of heated emotions, chaotic situations, ego depletion, willpower fatigue, genetic predispositions, and a world full of distractions it's difficult to say whether or not we have free will or not Viktor Frankl, an Auschwitz camp survivalist and a psychologist, said: "Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of human freedoms - to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way."

We return to form with this old school episode with no guest. John is having a hard time getting things done, and Daniel has ideas for how to help. We discuss working from home, making good check lists, slowing your roll, and taking notes.

In this episode we explore the theory of Ego Depletion, and how this culturally entrenched idea has come under suspicion lately of not being as reliable as we once thought. Sydney joins us for this episode.

This week on the Endurance QuickCast Coach Rob goes into an in-depth show covering habit building for increasing motivation and performance. Rob makes this broad topic very easy to consume and understand. Detailed show notes available at http://PositivePerformanceCoachiong.com/blog/

In this week's news segment, Tim and Tom talk about Ego Depletion, a long-standing concept in the psychology literature that may turn out to be bunk. In the arts section they talk about spring break, and in history they discuss the real-life Saint Patrick. All that and the magic numbers.

Instagram Multi-Account Instagram hat in einem letzten Update erstmal über eine Freischaltung innerhalb der App, dann noch einmal ganz offiziell über ein Update bekommen. Jetzt können wir endlich sehr komfortabel auf Der Übercast posten. Bei zCasting 3000 tut sich auch einiges.

Muchas opciones. Advanced Search Kein AppleScript, dafür URL’s. URL Schemes in iOS and OS X Lesser URL Scheme Doku Plus iCloud Sync mit Reminders Ausschliessen von Listen (vom Sync) Listen können von der Auflistung “ausgeschlossen” werden. Dadurch kann man auch gut Notizen und generelleres Referenz Material in 2Do vorhalten. Drafts in 2Do Ein sehr ausgewogenes Motion Design Die Swipe Gesten wirken logisch und binden sich in den Workflow ein. Minus “All” Liste macht nicht wirklich Sinn. Nur für Leute mit sehr wenigen Tasks Fazit: 2Do ist eine wirklich sehr sehr mächtige App mit einem schicken Design. Beim Umstieg oder dem Versuch umzusteigen, sollte man sich aber Bewusst sein, dass man etwas komplett neues lernen muss. Wer eine App testen möchte mit so vielen Shortcuts und Optionen, die Airmail Konkurrenz machen, kann sich 2Do anschauen. Man kann wirklich viel Zeit damit verbringen 2Do an seine persönlichen Workflows und Vorlieben anzupassen. Andreas findet den Sync mit dem gewöhnlichen CalDAV ein Killerfeature. Grandios. Da man so mit den Liebsten etwas “teilen” kann. Aktuell wünscht er sich noch eine ordentliche Script-ability, die diverse Automationen noch ermöglichen würde. Einzige Möglichkeit sind URL’s.

Im Nachhinein kann Patrick dazu sagen, dass es sein Dreirad war, um Analog zu üben. 89% Analog: Am 17.06.2014 fing es bei Patrick an mit Stift und Papier. Festgehalten hat er das nachträglich in einem Blogpost: Going Analog. Stift und Papier = hilft besser zu erinnern an Dinge die man tun muss wichtige Dinge liest man öfters (im digitalen TaskManager werden diese zu oft ausgeblendet/schnell verschoben) gute Gehirnübung = Stift vs. Tastatur auf Autopilot Seit dem Post von August 2014: Analog regiert mehr als je zuvor Patricks Welt Statt DASH/PLUS nun Bullet Journal mit DASH/PLUS inspiriertem Key schnorkellos vs. schön und umständlicher Da mehr drinnen ist: Gear-Update (Midori) Foxy Dori - Midori-Alternative wo mehr reinpasst und die individuell angepasst werden kann: Wanderlust leather (Custom Midori) Originalgröße: Unten, Seite, Front Gewohnheitstracker Herangehensweise: simple auf mich abgestimmer Key/Syntax digitale Sachen leben weiterhin in TaskPaper (nur 1 Datei mittlerweile) ein Hinweis kommt als Task in mein Midori: “Arbeite an XYZ” (ich weiß dann, dass ich TP Projekt XYZ aufzumachen habe) wirklich wichtige Erinnerungen kommen zusätzlich in Due.app… als Backup – die App finde ich nach wie vor grandios, um repetivtive Aufgaben dort zu hinterlegen (ob low, high oder zero priority) Probleme die keine sind: Alles dabei hat man nur mit iPhone (TaskPaper) und dem Midori stört nicht: Inbox = Field Notes oder Handy Was ich schätze an Analog: Analog hat mir GTD beigebracht Hier habe ich das Gefühl kennengelernt alles im Überblick zu haben, da ich vieles manchmal 2-3x geschrieben habe (bevor es gemacht oder gelöscht wurde).

Ego Depletion by Carl Richards: Human Behavior, Creativity, Behavioral Finance

In this episode of Get Up And Code, Joel Gregory and I talk about diet, fasting, and ego depletion.

Das Motto lautet wie folgt: “Halt mal die Luft an” oder “drück auf Stop” oder ganz kurz… “Wie unterbindet man Ablenkungen beim Arbeiten am Computer?” Nun, auf jeden Fall ist das unser Thema heute. Des weiteren gibt unser Gast tiefe Einblicke in die Welt hinter dem App Store. Danach plauschen wir über das abgelenkt sein an sich. “Hotel Alpha Lima Lima Oscar” so begrüßt Sven heute unsere Hörer. Das phonetische NATO Alphabet ist also Sven’s Pick und ihr könnt direkt abschalten. Falls ihr das nicht vorhabt, so hört ihr heute unseren appsschraubenden Gast Ortwin Gentz, wie er euch eine Führung hinter die Welt des App Stores gibt. Im Anschluss erfahrt ihr Vermeidungsstrategien um Ablenkungen beim Arbeiten am Computer zu minimieren. Zu gewinnen gibt’s natürlich auch wieder was… was viel wichtiger ist, bei der anstehenden Live-Show wird Sven das komplette NATO Alphabet tanzen. Dieses Versprechen konnten wir ihm genau so abringen. Er sitzt bereits jetzt während ihr das lest daheim am Schreibtisch und arbeitet an seiner Choreographie. Lieber Fluggast, wenn dir das Gehörte gefällt oder dir Sorgenfalten auf die edle Stirn fabriziert, dann haben wir etwas für dich: iTunes Bewertungen. Überentwicklung Vorab ein Pro-Tipp für Podcaster: Immer genug zu trinken parat haben. Erst recht bei Recordings mit mehreren Personen. Falls jemand nämlich kein Getränk parat hat für den anstehenden Wortmarathon, so kann man ihm die Nase lang machen mit den eigenen Erfrischungsgetränken. So zumindest wird unser Gast von Patrick begrüßt. Link zum Bild: Der durstige Gast Der erwähnte Gast, welcher in Minute eins schon kurz vorm verdursten steht ist Ortwin Gentz (@ortingentz), Mitgründer von equinux, welche man von Produkten wie CoverScout, SongGenie, iSale und dem Tizi TV-Stick kennt. Ortwin ist nun nicht mehr bei equinux, hat aber dafür sein ganz eigenes Kind am Start: FutureTap. FutureTap hat zurzeit mit Wohin? (aka “Where To?”) und Streets zwei Apps am Start welche uns das “wirkliche” Leben leichter machen sollen. Patrick merkt an, dass der offizielle Verkaufsstart des iPhones im Juni 2007 war und Ortwin dann direkt in 2008 mit seiner Firma auf der Matte stand. Daraufhin erzählt uns Ortwin wie es zu FutureTap kam. Ortwin hat selbst an Ideen für eine App getüftelt, aber gibt zu, dass er zu dem Zeitpunkt einfach noch nicht so weit war. Im Oktober 2008 meinte es das Schicksal gut mit ihm und ein Angebot von tap tap tap landete auf Ortwins Tisch – Where To? stand zum Verkauf. Der Entrepreneur schildert uns kurz seinen Weg und wie es war eine App “einzukaufen” und zu vermarkten. Der große Vorteil war ganz klar, dass er mit Where To? eine App hatte, die schon seit Stunde Null im App Store war. Somit war Orwtin schneller im Business, am Markt und Besitzer einer der ersten 10.000 Anwendungen im App Store. Direkt zum Thema gibt es an dieser Stelle Interessantes für Leseratten aus der Fundgrube. Und zwar hat Patrick Ortwins dritten Post (“FutureTap and 13 name alternatives”) und zweiten Post (“How to purchase an iPhone app”) aus dem FutureTap Archiv gegraben. Beides sehr interessante Fundstücke, um einen weiteren Blick hinter die Kulissen haben will. Natürlich könnt ihr auch die Schnellzusammenfassung von Ortwin hören und seinen Ausführungen zum ehemaligen Goldrausch und dem Status Quo lauschen – ein Thema was Sven auch sehr spannend findet und Ortwin erneut auffordert seine Juwelen fallen zu lassen (← Erläuterung: Auch wenn dieser kleine Satz so nicht gefallen ist und sich anhört wie aus einem Nudistencamp für Senioren, er wurde extra für die Leser wortgetreu eingedeutscht. Da die Redaktion ja in der Kritik steht dem Anglizismus verfallen zu sein (–was natürlich leider Gottes stimmt und völlig korrekt ist–), ist dieses Schmuckstück aus der Hip Hop Kultur die Wiedergutmachung dafür – in der eigenen Landessprache hört es sich zudem noch herrlich vulgär und ordinär an. Mehr Informationen zu Where To? findet ihr ab Minute 13 oder im maßgeschneiderten App Preview Video von zCasting 3000, welches ihr im App Store und auf der Webseite bewundern könnt.

Eigentlich vier, aber der erste Punkt (Codename “Schnitzer”) wurde schon in den alten Show Notes verarbeitet. Dropshare Gewinner Die Gewinner des wunderbaren Dropshare sind… Marcel Bude (Facebook) Richard Weinhold (Google+) @pietpansen aka Peter Panstoffke (ADN) Herzlichen Glückwunsch und vielen Dank für die Teilnahme! Bilder vom iOS Kamera lock screen stehlen kann… samt iPhone Andreas steigt furios ein mit einem dem Hinweis auf ein Sicherheitsfeature aus 2013 (Timecode 0:36:40): Wenn der Angreifer kommt und quasi das Handy in die Finger bekommt, sobald euer iPhone nach ‘nem Passcode verlangt, hat derjenige Angreifer auch keinen Zugriff mehr auf gemachte Fotos. Daraufhin hat jeder eine andere Meinung und alle zücken ihr iPhone und kontrollieren wie genau es nun wirklich funktioniert. Es ist das kontrolliert herbeigeführte Chaos von Herr Zeitler. Jeder misstraut und widerspricht jedem. Einfach schön. Natürlich wurde das Mysterium, welches eigentlich gar keines ist noch geklärt: Geht man bei einem mit Passcode gesperrten iPhones in den Kameramodus und wählt das letzte Bildchen in der Ecke an, so sieht man nur die Fotos aus der momentanen Session. Aber… drückt man dann auf “Alle Bilder”, so wird man nach dem Passcode gefragt. Shakespeare würde es zusammenfassen mit »Viel Lärm um nichts«. iPod XL: Terminator – Teil 2 Die nächste hochqualitative Diskussionsplattform wirft Patrick in den Raum und jeder muss sich einmal daraufstellen: Was passiert mit dem iPod? Wird er groß, bleibt er so, wird er eingestellt? Patrick und Sven haben da die ähnliche Visionen; sie stellen sich vor, dass es noch 3-4 Jahre so weitergeht mit dem 4″ Formfaktor und dann wird der Formfaktor auf groß angepasst. Patrick lässt zusätzlich noch die Option offen, dass ihn das Schicksal des iPod Classic (✝ 2014) ereilt. Beide sehen den iPod weiterhin als bei der verspielten Jugend populär und preislich attraktiv an. Der iPod ist nach wie vor die low-budget Einstiegsdroge. Anmerkung der Redaktion: Vielleicht sehen wir auch was ganz neues. Eine wilde Idee, aber… vielleicht bringt Apple ja eine Uhr raus… und die kann dann auch (nur) Music abspielen. Back to the Roots quasi. Aber… das ist reine Spekulation “Niemand hat die Absicht eine iWatch zu errichten”. So, genug gekalauert. Überschallneuigkeiten Den Bono-Bug den eine Hackergruppe names U2 in den iTunes Store eingespielt hat, kann man hier entfernen. Link zum Bild: Bono-Hug-Bug Außerdem strömt es zu Deutschen Landen: Der beliebte Streaming-Service Rdio ist nun auch hierzulande in der kostenlosen Variante erhältlich. Ab und an folgt mitten im Lied eine Werbeunterbrechung und danach geht’s automatisch mit dem nächsten Lied weiter. Auf iOS könnt ihr ebenfalls ohne Abo Stations abspielen, diese orientieren sich z.B. an euren Lieblingsliedern oder Playlisten von Freunden. Des weiteren ist Netflix seit kurzem für 7,99 € pro Monat bei uns in Deutschland am Start. Das schöne ist, dass man es auch im O-Ton strömen lassen kann. Weniger schön für die iTunes-Verwöhnten, man kann nicht lokal zwischenspeichern. Mehr Informationen zu Alternativen gibt’s nach Sven auf SPIEGEL ONLINE bei dem Artikel “Netflix-Alternative: Maxdome, Watchever, Sky Snap, Amazon im Vergleich”. PS: Und bei uns gibt’s mehr zu Rdio, Netflix und Co. in Episode 3. Internet auf Pause Wie geht man auf Diät bzw. drückt auf Pause bei der Informationsflut. Macht es überhaupt Sinn? Geht das überhaupt zwischen tausenden von RSS Artikeln und Twittereien? Wie sieht es aus mit… freiwilligen Auszeiten, im Urlaub und was sagen Familie und Freunde wenn man mal nicht erreichbar ist. Auch wenn wir nicht alle Fragen beantworten können, so macht Andreas erst einmal den Anfang. Er gibt sich selbst gerne Freizeit zu speziellen Zeiten fernab vom Arbeitsmodus. Was bei ihm am besten hilft sind einfache Regeln: In der Freizeit dürfen die sozialen Medien genutzt werden wie ihm der Sinn steht. In der Arbeitszeit werden Dinge, die nicht seiner Arbeit zutunlich sind nur auf Geräten genutzt, die auch nicht seiner Arbeit zutunlich sind. Beispiel: Twitter, News nur auf dem Handy. Es gibt eine gewisse “Grace Period” in der beides OK ist. In der Regel ist das ‘in der Früh’ zwischen der Freizeit und der Arbeit, und Abends zwischen Arbeit und Freizeit. Passt bei Andreas auch wunderbar rein, da er Abends, wenn er den Arbeitsplatz “aufräumt” einfach mal ein bisschen Zeug nebenher laufen lassen kann, beispielsweise einen Twitter Stream oder einen Podcast. Das wandelte einspaarundneunzig Wikipediapaket Sven haut wieder die Fachbegriffe raus. Die Formel lautet → Selbstkontrolle + Willenskraft als limitierte Ressource (, die sich mit der Zeit aufbraucht) = Ego Depletion. Er nutzt SelfControl (open source), welches es erlaubt Websites, aber auch (Mail-)Serveradressen, für eine wählbare Zeit zu blockieren. Das ganze läuft “auf die harte Tour”, denn selbst das Löschen der App bzw. ein Reboot helfen nicht. Noch etwas konsequenter ist Freedom, die 10 Dollar App klemmt gleich das komplette Internet für die gewünschte Zeit ab. Ortwin schließt zur Not einfach Twitter und den Email-Client. Außerdem nutzt er die Pomodoro-Technik von Zeit zu Zeit, um sich zu fokussieren. Was für ihn das Hauptproblem ist, sind die berüchtigten “Rabbit Holes”. Immer wieder verfängt man sich in Aufgaben, die man gerade eigentlich gar nicht auf der Liste hat. Patrick nickt konstant, da er genauso vorgeht und sein Arbeits-/Wohnzimmer zudem noch voller Hasenlöcher ist. Sven als in Email-Programmen lebender Geschäftsmann kennt das mit der Ablenkung genauso, nur ganz anders…. Wenn bei ihm das Anfertigen einer Powerpoint-Präsentation ansteht, die so groß ist wie das 6+ erwischt er sich öfters bei der Suche nach alternativen Beschäftigungen im Email-Client. Dort hilft ihm Focusbar.app, welches den folgenden Ansatz hat: Nichts wird geblockt, aber ab und an erscheint ein kleines Fenster und erinnert einen daran, was man eigentlich gerade tun sollte, bzw. wollte. Vor allem, wenn man das Applikationsfenster wechselt. Patrick’s einzige Fokus-App ist ⌘⌥H. Das Tastaturkürzel sorgt dafür das alle Apps ausser die Vorderste ausgeblendet werden. Mit dem Fullscreen-Modus kann er allerdings wenig anfangen. Er merkt an, dass er keinen Gedanken für 5 Sekunden halten kann und dadurch oft mit Vollgas sich für Stunden ab ins nächste Hasenloch macht. Den Vergleich für diese Gefahrenquelle zieht er, da er sich als selbst-diagnostiziert hat mit ADD (und noch ein, zwei unschönen Sachen). Da das ganze nur am Rande erwähnt wird, grätscht Andreas kurz rein und mahnt zur Vorsicht. Das alles ging im Tempo des Podcasts unter. In unserer Sammelecke findet Patrick dann raus, dass Andreas schon 3 Artikel zum Thema Hyperaktivität gepostet hat. Hiermit wird der Leidensgenosse offiziell begrüßt und folgendes vom MOSX Tumblelog landet in der Leseliste: Inside my Hyperactive Brain My Hyperactive Brain - Two Year Aftermath Inside my Hyperactive Brain - iOS Version Sven wirft als App-Tipp noch Focus mit in den Topf, welches ähnlich wie der von Patrick genannte Shortcut funktioniert und alle inaktiven Fenster abdunkelt. Andreas nutzt dafür Desktop Curtain und erwähnt noch Houdini den Spirited Away Nachfolger, sowie die Möglichkeit Keyboard Maestro zu nutzen. Andreas verweist auf die einzig wahre Hard- & Nerdcore-Variante (Timecode: 1:09:00): Die Host-Datei ändern bzw. rotieren lassen. /etc/hosts: funktioniert nur minder. Facebook frisst sich fast überall durch. Man kann in hosts auch diverse andere Sachen blocken. Was da auch richtig gut ist: Little Snitch (siehe Episode 7). Damit kann man automatische Profilwechsel initialisieren. Für ganz mobile ist ControlPlane auch noch ein Tipp. Unsere Picks Ortwin: Mail-Act-On (25,88 €) Sven: Write (8,99 €) Andreas: Neila Rey Patrick: Tree (10,99 €) In Spenderlaune? Wir haben Flattr und PayPal am Start und würden uns freuen.

Many see willpower as something you develop like a muscle, something you can strengthen through practice and mental exercise, but the latest research suggests willpower runs on an internal battery, one that can be drained after heavy use, but recharges after rest and reward. Once you've used it up, you much recharge it or else you'll be unable to keep your hand out of the cookie jar. Speaking of cookies...we also explore in this episode how psychologists have used cookies in novel ways to uncover the secrets of our minds. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In a joint podcast effort, Carlos Morales and I are joined by Dana Smith, a listener to both of our shows, who dropped out of high school to travel, to work, and most importantly, to teach himself. The show includes discussion about the tools and methods of self-teaching, the challenges of the school environment, ego depletion, and goal setting.
