What does it take to turn your darkest moments into a change for yourself and the wider community? Chloe sits down with Brooke McIntosh, record-breaker, mental fitness advocate, and the fastest and youngest woman to run 14,200 kilometers around Australia. From the outside, Brooke had the picture-perfect life. high-earning FIFO work, holidays, and good times. But behind the scenes, she was drowning in a storm of trauma, PTSD, severe anxiety, and suicidal ideation. It took a near-fatal, high-speed T-bone truck crash to shatter the mask, waking up without a scratch on her body, but with a soul forever marked by a newfound purpose. Brooke shares her journey from sending a raw 2 a.m. cry-for-help text message to executing one of the most grueling physical feats on the planet. She averaged 60–111km every single day, pushed through 40°C heatwaves, survived flooded trails, and shredded through 16 pairs of shoes, all while raising over $280,000 for the Blue Tree Project. *** Our new WOMEN'S SPORT FAN CLUB merch has arrived.

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. Before we get started, and linked somewhat to today's topic, one of the top issues among the people I work with is inconsistency in planning weeks and days. Now, I understand why it can be a challenge to plan your week consistently. Life often gets in the way, and really, what's the point of planning when, too often, whatever plan you set gets destroyed by an inconsiderate boss or client? Yet it still remains the case that those who consistently plan their weeks and allow a little time each day to plan the next day are the ones who get the right things done on time and have more time to do the things they want to do. So, over the last few weeks, I've been updating my Planning Course. It's not a long course, and it now focuses on three main areas of planning. Daily, weekly, and project planning. Plus, given the time of year, I've added a bonus section on the Annual Planning Template. If you want to take a significant step up in your time management and productivity, I highly recommend this course. You can get it as part of my Productivity Academy Membership or buy it as a standalone course. And if you're fast, you can get the standalone course for just $50.00 with the early bird discount. (I'll put the link and the code in the show notes for you) And a quick tip. Get the course today and do the Weekly Planning Section. It will take you around 15 minutes to do the section, will give you a downloadable Weekly Planning Matrix sheet and will inspire you to do a proper, practical Weekly Planning Session today. Okay, on with the episode. Last week, I hosted the inaugural live training of my Productivity Academy. In that session, I shared some research I had done on around 500 of my past and present coaching clients. The question I asked was: “What were the top five struggles (or pain points) they faced?” The results were not unsurprising, or not that I thought. What surprised me was that the cause of those pain points almost always comes from the same place. Let me explain. First, what were the five? They were: In 5th place, Tool overload and fragmented workflows This means using multiple apps, duplicating task lists, having unclear homes for information, and excessive system tweaking, which undermined trust in their productivity setup. All of this results in information all over the place, which causes a sense that they lack clarity and control. In 4th place, Interruptions and lack of protected focus time Meetings, emails, messages, emergencies, and context switching push deep or important work out, leaving no time for doing that important work. Yet one irony is that if the focused, strategic work were prioritised over interruptions, there would be fewer interruptions. Nobody chasing you, telling you something was urgent, and less time for meetings because the work was getting done instead of being talked about. In 3rd place, Unclear priorities If you don't know what matters most, the urgent or “loud” work of other people will always crowd out meaningful progress. If you do not know what your priorities are, then someone else's priorities will do. At least they appear to be urgent, right? In 2nd place, Planning and review routines that don't stick When daily and weekly planning are skipped because, perhaps, life gets busy, it causes your system to break, which then requires repeated restarts. Restarts are time-consuming, often overwhelming and never address the underlying problem. (Which we will come to in a moment) And in 1st place… Wait for it… Overwhelm from competing tasks and projects My clients face large backlogs, scattered lists, frequent rescheduling, and a persistent sense of being behind. Now, as I said those five issues, I am sure you were nodding along to many of them. But the question is, why? Why do these pain points keep popping up? The simple answer is a lack of clarity on what is important to you. Let me explain. I value punctuality. It is a standard I have had since it was instilled in me at school. If I have a meeting at 9:00 am, I am ready to go at 9:00 am. Not 9:02 or 9:01. I am ready to go at 9:00 am. I turn up a few minutes early, make sure everything is ready to go and then we start. My wife, on the other hand, treats time as abstract. If she says 9:00 am, that could mean anything from 9:05 to 9:30 am. I treat punctuality as something important; she doesn't. This same principle follows those who are incredible at keeping things organised. They give higher importance to putting things away after they have used them than someone who you would describe as being disorganised. When it comes to your work, what are your priorities? Now, someone who finds themselves running around all day looking for something to get anxious about has no clear plan for the day. They're waiting for a fire so they have something to put out. Yet someone with the same kind of work who starts the day with a clear plan is the one quietly getting on with the work they identified as important. Because they are doing that, they rarely come across any fires to put out. This, in turn, leaves them with more time to do the work. That becomes a positive circle. More work gets done, fewer fires occur. With the number 1 issue, Overwhelm from competing tasks and projects: Why do you have competing tasks and projects? Let's say that you have two big projects with the same deadline. Why did that happen? You said yes to both projects; you agreed to the deadlines. Now, you can't do two things at once; there must have been a time when you realised that there was a conflict. What did you do when you discovered that conflict? Imagine I was asked by two different companies to develop and deliver a training programme. The dates for each session were to be on 30th September. Theoretically, I could do it as long as the times were different. But accepting both would mean that I would be unable to do anything else in September, and the quality of the training would be compromised. So, I would have to say no to the 30 September date to at least one of the companies. Now, I've worked with many companies, big and small, and I know that when it comes to setting training dates, there is a significant degree of flexibility from both sides. Now, if one company insisted that the only date the training could take place was the 30th, that's good. The decision has been made for me, and I would have to ask the other company if we could do a different date. If, in the very unlikely event, the other company also insisted on the 30th, then I would have to decline the invitation. From a practical, realistic perspective, there would be no way I could prepare two separate training sessions for two different companies, each involving a different HR department or organiser. This is why knowing your limits and being aware of what you are currently committed to are key to being productive, improving your time management, and staying organised. Yet, if you do not do your daily and weekly planning, all these issues will “accidentally” keep happening. You don't know what's coming up, think you have plenty of time, and keep saying yes to more and more commitments. And everyone loves you. Until you don't deliver. Then you're the problem. You're the bottleneck. You said you could do it, but you didn't. You missed the deadline, and all trust is now broken. And all this started from not knowing what your priorities are. Another example. My professional priorities are: clients, content and then business admin. In that order. My client work will always receive top priority, then content creation, then the admin associated with running a business. This means that before I begin a day, week or year, I already know my priorities. What about you? What are your professional priorities and in what order have you set them? Competing priorities can often be an issue. What criteria can you set to make the decision easier? For instance, a customer seeking a $20 million proposal will likely be a higher priority than one seeking a $2,000 proposal. You could argue that all proposals are equal, yet you can work on only one at a time. So how do you choose? Perhaps you can operate a first-in, first-out (FIFO) system and process them in the order they arrive. Whichever way you decide, you are saving yourself time. No decisions have to be made. Just start and get on with it. If you look carefully at the five pain points, knowing your priorities and ensuring they get done before anything else will reduce much of the friction you face. The second cause of these is often one of capacity. Yes, we can do almost everything asked of us, but not all at the same time. There's a limit to what we can do each day, week and quarter. Most people I work with are trying to work at overcapacity. For example, being expected to answer emails and messages and respond to customer calls within minutes of receiving them never works. I'm reminded of one of my early jobs working in car sales. When I first started, the company employed a receptionist to answer telephone calls. She would find a salesperson who was free to take the call, or, if there were no free salespeople, she would take a number and tell the caller that someone would call back as soon as possible. Then the company decided to install a new system, which meant that when a call came in, the telephone would ring on a central speaker, and the salespeople would be responsible for answering the calls themselves. To ensure calls were answered quickly, a rule was set requiring them to be answered within 5 rings. They then let go of the receptionist. She was no longer needed. Then the problems started. Sales began to drop, and salespeople were unable to focus on selling. Every time the phone rang, you could see everyone counting the rings, desperately hoping someone would answer. Within 6 months, the receptionist was back. And guess what? Sales began to rise. Funny that. People are perfectly happy to wait for you to return their call or message. And it's worth remembering that a quick reply often suggests desperation. The reality is that we are collecting far too much and believing that everything we collect must be done. No, it does not. Looking at task managers from the 1980s and 1990s, there were around 4 or 5 items on a list. These were bigger things, such as working on this project or calling that client to sort out the issue. Nobody put letters to reply to or calls to return on a to-do list. These were self-contained. Your letters would be in an in-tray, and you would set aside some time each day to reply to them. You can do the same today with email and messages. They are still self-contained. You do not also need to add them to your task manager. Now you've duplicated a task. I remember my boss at the law firm I worked at popping his head out of his office door to ask his secretary for his messages. He would do this around 2 pm each day and, for an hour, would return the calls that had come in while he was in meetings. The lesson here is to take some time to decide what is important to you as an individual and a professional. Pre-decide your priorities. Create some if-this-then-that rules, If this happens, then I will do that. This then reduces the decisions you need to make each day, and that will help reduce the mental fatigue that builds whenever something new comes in and you have to make yet another decision. And if you want to reduce the ultimate friction, remember the phrase: A place for everything, and everything in its place." How much time is wasted just looking for a document, your glasses or keys? Come on, this should be your basic norm. Know where you put things so you can retrieve them when you need them. You don't have to be as obsessed as Hercule Poirot, who kept his bank balance at £444, 4 shillings and 4 pence. Although there might be something to be said for keeping order in everything, you always have the capacity to deal with any unexpected events. Thank you for listening.

Grisham (24-0471): U.S. District Court Strikes Down New Mexico's 7-Day Firearm Waiting Period A federal court last week granted final judgment holding New Mexico's week-long mandatory firearm waiting period law unconstitutional. On August 31, 2026, U.S. District Judge James Browning issued final judgment in Ortega v. Grisham, declaring New Mexico's 7-day mandatory waiting period on firearm purchases unconstitutional under the Second Amendment. The ruling follows an August 2025 Tenth Circuit decision that found the post-background-check delay an impermissible burden on the right to keep and bear arms; the state's appeal was denied. The law, enacted in 2024 by the Democrat-controlled legislature at the request of Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D), was challenged by the NRA, Mountain States Legal Foundation, and National Shooting Sports Foundation. The Gist: The decision applies statewide to all firearm purchases in New Mexico, eliminating the 7-day waiting period that had been required after a background check cleared. Impact: The ruling reinforces post-Bruen Second Amendment scrutiny by invalidating a state law that delayed exercise of a constitutional right for law-abiding citizens, setting precedent within the Tenth Circuit against similar cooling-off periods. Bottom Line: New Mexico's 7-day firearm waiting period is no longer in effect; the court held that “a right delayed is a right denied.” "Major Incident" at ATF: Did Russian Hackers Just Get The Registry? – Legally Armed America YouTubeVideo | "Major Incident" at ATF A Russian-linked ransomware group called Qilin just listed the ATF on its dark-web leak site, prompting the Justice Department to formally designate the incident as a statutory "major incident" and notify Congress. In this video, Paul breaks down what actually occurred, analyzes the official statements, and shares the on-the-record response from ATF Director Robert Cekada—who directly clarified that core firearm owner systems like eForms and the NFRTR registry were completely untouched, naming the breached system as the standalone CALEA wiretap environment.

In this episode of "The Money Mentor," Donovan and Steph join Rachel for an unfiltered conversation - honest, funny, and at times hilarious - and above all, inspiring. Before settling down, they were free-spirited travellers who lived well and spent freely - and when kids came along, the habits didn't change much. After fifteen years of strong FIFO income, they had very little to show for it. What nagged at Donovan was watching his own parents fall back into mortgage debt in their fifties - he knew he wanted to build security for his family's financial future but had no idea where to start. Then they found Infinity and connected instantly with Graeme's straight-talking style and the logic of the Infinity way. The mindset shift was swift and the results followed - debt cleared within weeks, a financial plan that could weather life's surprises, and a property portfolio now sitting at two million dollars with $800,000 in equity. But the transformation didn't stop there.

In this episode of Building Confidence, I sit down with heavy vehicle mechanic and dual-trade auto electrician Caitlyn Hayes to chat about the journey that has taken her from applying for countless apprenticeships to working FIFO in Western Australia. We talk about what it takes to back yourself when opportunities don't come easily, how to advocate for yourself in the workplace, why mentoring can change the course of your career, and the mindset that has helped Caitlyn continue chasing bigger goals—including completing a dual trade, stepping into field service, mentoring apprentices, and putting herself forward for industry awards. If you've ever questioned whether you're ready to apply for the job, nominate for the award, reach out to a mentor, or simply take the next step in your career, this episode is your reminder that you don't have to feel ready—you just have to have a go. In this episode we discuss: • Finding an apprenticeship after countless applications • Moving away from home to start a trade • Navigating redundancy during an apprenticeship • Advocating for a dual trade and career progression • The realities of FIFO life • The value of mentoring and giving back • Building confidence by taking action before you feel ready • Why "if you don't ask, you don't get" is a mindset worth adopting Connect with Caitlyn: Instagram: @dieselandsparks
With 2027 RDN Cadetship applications now open, this episode is a timely reminder of where the opportunity can lead... Dr Nicholas Ireland’s journey through life to becoming a NSW Regional Doctors Network Cadet has been a long and demanding one. Expelled from boarding school in year 11, he first became a sheet metalworker on what he describes as a subsistence wage. But it was while he was working as a FIFO welder on oil rigs off the Western Australia coast that he realised he had to do something else with his life. So he quit and applied for a university foundation course and got such good marks he was accepted into medicine via a rural pathway. This boy from the bush, supported professionally and financially by the cadetship program, is now well on the way to achieving his childhood dream of becoming a rural generalist doctor, planning to settle with his wife in Dubbo.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this deeply personal episode, your host shares a raw and honest update from her third postpartum journey and the profound lesson it gifted her: the power of receiving. From navigating a difficult pregnancy at 41 with a FIFO husband, running businesses, and raising two older children, she opens up about the friends who showed up without being asked, the "meal train" that moved her to tears, and why hyperindependence is not the flex we think it is. Weaving in research from the Blue Zones documentary, specifically the Power Nine framework, this episode explores why your social circle may be the most underrated key to a long, thriving life, and how to finally open yourself to the love, support, and abundance you deserve. Whether you've been burned before, tend to do everything yourself, or simply struggle to let people in, this episode is your invitation to soften without losing your strength.
This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. This series is dedicated to exploring little-known—and occasionally useful—trinkets lurking in the dusty corners of UNIX-like operating systems. Most users of UNIX-like systems are probably familiar with the diff utility. It is widely used with source code to compare two files and see what the differences are between them. Non-programmers, like me, also use it to examine what has changed in different versions of scripts or configuration files. Quite a few pieces of newer software can compare different versions of data and express changes in a format either identical to or similar to diff output. However, there are two other long-standing tools for this purpose that are far less known and deserve in my view to be termed UNIX Curios. The first of these is cmp 1 . While diff is primarily intended to be used on text files and compares them line by line, cmp compares files byte by byte. In my experience, its main use is to see whether two binary files are in fact identical—if they are, cmp outputs nothing and returns an exit status of 0. Back when methods of transferring files were not as reliable as they are today, this was a tool I would reach for sometimes. For example, you could use it to confirm that the data on a CD-ROM you burned was the same as the original. If there is a difference between the files, cmp will return an exit status of 1. By default, it will also print the location (byte and line number) of the first differing byte. When used with the -l option, it will print the location and value of every byte that differs. There is one exception to these: if the files are the same except that one is shorter than the other, it will print a message to that effect. The exit status will still be 1 in that case. Using the -s option with cmp will cause it to be totally silent and output nothing. Only the exit status will indicate whether the files are the same, different, or if the exit status is greater than 1, that an error occurred. This makes it useful for scripting, for example in case you wanted to confirm that a file copied to another location arrived fully intact. It is worth noting that diff is also capable of comparing binary files—however, it is not required by POSIX to report what is actually different or where differences occur. The same exit status as in cmp is returned: 0 if the files are the same, 1 if they are different, or greater than 1 if an error occurred. While many implementations offer an option to suppress the output, this is not in the standard 2 so the most portable method would be to instead redirect output to /dev/null . On my system the diff utility is three times the size of cmp , so if you don't need its extra capabilities, it is a less efficient way of doing the job. The other UNIX Curio for today is comm , and this utility 3 is also intended to compare two files to see what is common between them. Ken Fallon briefly talked about it a few years ago in HPR episode 3889 . Compared to the others, it has a much more specific use case. The two files are expected to be text files that are already sorted. What comm will do is print a tab-separated list of all the lines appearing in either or both files. Lines only in the first file will appear in the first column, lines only in the second file will be in the second column, and lines in both files will be in the third column. Any combination of the options -1 , -2 , and -3 can be used with comm to suppress printing of the first, second, or third column respectively. Using all three options at the same time is supported but it results in no output, so that isn't very useful. Unlike the other utilities, the exit status of comm doesn't tell you anything about the two files. It will be 0 if the program ran successfully, and greater than 0 if it didn't. I'm not sure if I have ever actually used comm for anything practical. I find its default output a bit difficult to meaningfully interpret, plus you need to ensure the two files are already sorted. It seems to be best suited to comparing lists, and one use case that Ken Fallon mentioned would be comparing two lists of files to see if any are missing. The command comm -3 listA listB would print files that only appear in listA in the first column and those only in listB in the second column. This would let you ignore all the filenames that appear in both and focus on those that were absent from one or the other. If on the other hand you only wanted to see the filenames that are on both lists, comm -12 listA listB would give you that. Some more frivolous potential uses also come to mind. If for some reason the cat utility is broken on your system, you could use comm listA /dev/null to print the file listA instead. If you want to insert tab characters before every line of a file but have an aversion to using sed or awk , then comm /dev/null listA would output listA with one tab before each line, and comm listA listA would insert two tabs. A bit silly, but it would work. The GNU implementation of comm even lets you choose something other than a tab to separate the columns 4 , so you could go wild with that. According to the POSIX specifications for cmp and comm , one of the two filenames given as arguments, but not both, can be a " - ", in which case standard input will be used for that "file" in the comparison. Also, the results are undefined if both arguments are the same FIFO special, character special, or block special file. Some implementations might not have these limitations, but you shouldn't rely on that everywhere. All three of these were developed quite early. The cmp utility appeared in 1971's First Edition UNIX 5 , while comm and diff seem to have made their debut in Fourth Edition UNIX 6,7 from 1973. The original versions might not have behaved exactly like their modern counterparts, and newer implementations (especially of the diff utility) have acquired additional options and capabilities, but the basic operation of each has stayed the same. The next time you need to compare files against each other, consider whether cmp or comm might be appropriate before automatically reaching for diff . They all have their uses in different situations.

In this episode of the ZenRUN Podcast, I chat with the wonderful Ben Ridley - Perth runner, Delirious West athlete, self-declared road runner, proud husband of Karin Ridley, and possibly one of the most committed “super crew” members in the ultra-running world. Ben's story starts with a childhood full of sport - footy, swimming, surf lifesaving, T-ball, basketball - basically everything except running. Because running? Absolutely not. Ben grew up with chronic asthma, tricky knees, and a very strong dislike of running. But life has a funny way of circling back. After years of work, family life, health challenges, weight struggles, FIFO, mental health battles, and a major lifestyle shift, Ben and Karin found themselves at parkrun. And that changed everything. What started as a Saturday morning “why would anyone do this?” moment slowly became 5Ks, 10Ks, trails, half marathons, Feral Pig, Delirious West, 100 milers, 200 miler attempts, big DNFs, big lessons, big friendships, and a running life Ben never expected. This episode is funny, honest, emotional, and very Ben. We talk about weight loss surgery, running for mental health, the magic of parkrun, the chaos of Delirious West, crewing Karin, hallucinations, chafing, broken tyres, beers at aid stations, podcast-fuelled road running, and why community might be the greatest thing running has given him. Why You'll Love This Episode Ben shares: How he went from not being able to run a couple of hundred metres to becoming an ultra runner Why parkrun was the perfect no-pressure place to begin How he and Karin rebuilt their health together The reality of weight loss surgery - and why it was definitely not the “easy way out” His first 50K at Feral Pig and why he was “carrying on like a pork chop” halfway through His unforgettable Delirious West 100 miler finish with only 30 minutes to spare What it was like crewing Karin through her 200 miler after his own race ended The grief and emotion of losing his mum during Delirious Why DNFs hurt, but don't define you How running has become one of his biggest mental health tools Why he's currently loving road running, Melbourne Marathon training, and running into the MCG Why running with mates, coffee after parkrun, and pub run friendships matter so much Why Delirious still has baggage, but also still has a pull How he's heading back to Delirious with mates for the Great Southern Beer Run Tips From Ben Ben shared some really practical, honest advice for runners who are struggling to get out the door: 1. Find your reason why Don't just run because you “should.” Work out why it matters to you. Is it your mental health? Your fitness? Your friendships? A goal? A bit of space from life? That reason helps get you moving when motivation disappears. 2. Remember how you feel once you're out there Ben says the hardest part is often getting out the door. Once you're moving, things start to shift. Your head clears. Life feels a bit lighter. The run does what it came to do. 3. Use something that helps you get started For Ben, that might be a podcast, music, a book, or just being out on the trail listening to birds and trees. The point is simple: make the run easier to begin. 4. Run with people when you can Community has been huge for Ben. Parkrun, pub run, trail events, Ultra Series, coffee after runs - these people have become lifelong friends. Sometimes running is less about the running and more about who it brings into your life. 5. Walking counts Ben's reminder is simple and brilliant: Half an hour is better than nothing. If you can't run, walk. If you can't do the full plan, do something. It still matters. 6. Strength training helps Ben is a big believer in strength work for runners, especially if you want to keep running longer distances, reduce injury risk, and avoid the post-run “can't sit down on the toilet” situation. Very practical. Very true. A Beautiful Reminder From Ben's Story Ben's story is a reminder that running doesn't have to start perfectly. You don't need to grow up as “a runner.” You don't need to be fast. You don't need to have it all together. You can start with one parkrun. You can walk. You can struggle. You can DNF. You can come back. And somewhere along the way, running might become less about proving something - and more about finding your people, clearing your head, and becoming someone you never expected to be. Connect With Ben You'll most likely find Ben at parkrun, pub run, crewing Karin, running roads, signing up for something ridiculous with mates, or preparing for his next Delirious adventure. And if you see him at an aid station, he may remind you: You did choose to do this. Delirious WEST event Website - https://deliriouswest200miler.com.au/ Interested in the 2027 DW?

One Jim's Hazmat franchisee did $750,000 in revenue in his second year while taking three months off. In this episode Joel sits down with Gary, the Jim's Hazmat franchisor, and Jason, the national franchise manager, to break down what is one of the fastest growing and least understood divisions inside Jim's Group. Gary started six years ago working from a corner of his kitchen and now leads 31 franchisees across the country. Jason walks through the three day induction, the 13 services Hazmat franchisees deliver, and what kind of person succeeds in the role. You will hear the real numbers behind the division, including a $42,000 fire job finished in three days and a $90,000 asbestos job done by a franchisee less than a year into the business. Gary explains why most franchisees pay off their buy-in within six months, how the team coordinates work across franchisees instead of competing, and why he set a goal of 1,000 franchisees.

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. How do you decide what to do and when? Do you operate a FIFO methodology (First In, First Out) or is it something more nuanced than that? I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that almost everyone has too much to do and too little time to do it. That's perhaps the reason you are listening to this podcast. It's further complicated by the scope of what we are asked to do. Today, we have Slack or Teams messages that somehow cut through our defences and turn into long, time-consuming “chats” about a minor issue on a project that isn't due to be completed for another six months, preventing us from doing the rather more important work we had planned to do that day. Then there is email, treated slightly less urgently than instant messages, but it can again destroy our focus, leaving us distracted and unable to finish the work we need or want to complete. Every day is a challenge. What to do, what is the most urgent, and what is the most important thing you can do today? And if you can work on the most important thing, will you have enough time to do it? If not, would it be better to do something else? Agh! It's enough to drive anyone around the bend. And it's not isolated. Every day we have to go through the same decision-making process. It's exhausting and stressful (Is this the right thing to work on, or should I respond to that email I just received from my colleague?) and can lead to a prioritisation freeze and activity addiction, where looking busy is more important than doing work that matters. This week's question is about ideas for solving these challenges, so to get us started, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question. This week's question comes from Benjamin. Benjamin asks, What are your thoughts on organising work into categorised FIFO-style lists, adjusted for priority, and then using time blocks to work through them without expecting every block to result in a fully completed task unless there's a real deadline attached. Hi Benjamin, thank you for your question. I think you are on the right lines with your ideas there. Let me give you an example of this working. I teach a method called Inbox Zero 2.0 for managing emails. This method has two parts. The first is to clear the inbox. This is about speed, and all you are doing is filtering out the informational emails that don't need any action, except to archive them and moving any actionable emails to a folder called “Action This Day”. Later in the day, you go into that folder and try to clear it. Now, the ‘secret sauce' of this method is that the emails in your Action This Day folder are in reverse order. The oldest ones are at the top, and the newest ones are at the bottom of the list. (You can do this from the folders' settings in Outlook and Apple Mail. I've never been able to find a way to do this in Gmail) This means, when you come to ‘clear' the Action This Day folder, you start at the top and work your way down. You try to clear it every day, but often that's not possible; sometimes there are too many in there. However, because you start with the oldest, the remaining emails, the ones you were unable to get to, will likely have only recently come in, so the urgency is less than the ones you did respond to. Now, occasionally, an email that recently came in needs to be responded to that day. Here, you would “adjust for priority”, as you aptly call it, Benjamin and respond to these out of their natural order. It's a system that has worked for years, never letting me down. Because I spend at least 20 minutes a day on my actionable emails, my emails rarely back up; my inbox is cleared every day, and nobody needs to wait more than 24 hours for a response. Now, you mentioned doing as much work as you can within the time blocks you set. That is exactly how to do it. This is also where many people go wrong with time blocking. Time blocking isn't about squeezing in a specific amount of work within the time you have set. That's never going to be possible. You see, there are too many variables acting on us each day. The first is that you have no idea what emergencies will happen in the middle of a time block. I've worked in offices where I settle down to write an important contract only to be interrupted by a fire alarm that took more than an hour to have the building declared safe. Rare, but does happen. More common are the interruptions from our colleagues. We just do not know for sure that something more urgent will pop up when we are trying to complete a planned piece of work. However, that does not mean time blocking doesn't work. It does. It does because it allows us to organise our days by what matters most. For example, if you are a lawyer who needs time each day to prepare or review contracts, blocking two hours each day for this work ensures you always have time to do this important work. Blocking time for it means no one in your office can steal that time from you. It's like you have an appointment with yourself each day to do your most important work. If you do not, for whatever reason, complete as much as you would have liked to, it's okay, because you can pick it up again in your next blocked time slot. This is more about consistency than time blocking. If you consistently turn up and do the work, you're never going to be far behind and are unlikely to have any significant backlogs. Yet if you don't protect your time, it'll be stolen. Not blocking time for doing your most important work is like parking your car in a high-crime area and leaving your wallet on the passenger seat with the windows wide open. There's a good chance your wallet won't be there when you get back to your car. Time blocking gets a bad reputation because people erroneously think it's about blocking your entire day with activities. No. That's not time blocking. That's masochism. Time blocking your whole day wouldn't work anyway. A traffic jam, a distraught colleague, a micromanaging boss, or a fire alarm would ruin your day, and then you'd waste time trying to reschedule everything. Time booking works when you use it lightly. Look at it this way: You build each day around a few critical blocks of time. For instance, two hours of deep solo work where you get on and write the reports, prepare the presentation, or sort out an issue that's been dragging on for weeks. Then there's likely to be time required for responding to all the messages you get each day. I doubt anyone can escape that deluge, but ignoring it will just create bigger and bigger problems further down the line. So perhaps you set aside an hour for dealing with your communications and any low-value admin. (Another area that can backlog pretty quickly if you're not staying on top of it.) That's just two blocks, consisting of a total of three hours. Yet it's three hours, which, if followed consistently, would keep you on top of your critical work and prevent backlogs in the areas most susceptible to them. Three hours that would reduce your stress, lower your anxiety, and put you ahead of 97% of your colleagues. This does not guarantee you will always be on top of your work. As Baz Luhrmann's 1990s hit says: “Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind… the race is long, and in the end, it's only with yourself.” But what will guarantee you stay ahead is being consistent with it. When you start each day, ask yourself: where's my focus time and where's my comms and admin time? You mentioned categorising your tasks, and that's a great idea too, Benjamin. Not all work is equal, and sometimes a deadline will need us to adjust our priorities. Now, categorising your work can be a minefield if you are inclined to overcomplicate things. This should be avoided. Think of it this way: When a pilot prepares for a trans-Pacific flight, there are just three categories. Pre-flight, in-flight and landing. Each of those categories has distinct types of tasks to be completed. For us, knowledge workers, it really comes down to a few simple categories. For example, there are four that almost everyone will have (including airline pilots): Communications Admin Planning And chores Chores are always there. We all occasionally have to pick up a prescription, make a dentist's or doctor's appointment or take our kids to ballet, football or cricket practice. Beyond these four, it will depend on the kind of work you do. A lecturer at a university may have student affairs, lectures and research as categories. A salesperson may have prospecting, follow-ups and proposal writing. My advice is to keep your categories to no more than eight and make them as general as possible. For example, with the lecturer, student affairs could include grading papers, setting exams, writing references and arranging for one or more of your students to participate in a work experience programme. Once you have your categories, you have a way to prioritise your work. Again, this will depend on your work. For me, my most important priority each day is my content category. I create content every day. It could be this podcast, a blog post or a YouTube video. For a salesperson, the most important category may be prospecting, because without a steady supply of potential customers, everything else will eventually dry up. This now helps you with what you will do in your time blocks. For me, 9:30 am to 11:30 am is my content creation time. It is blocked on my calendar, and everyone knows not to disturb me during that time—including my wife! The salesperson may choose 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm as their prospecting time, and that, again, would be protected as a time block on their calendar each day. The idea is to match your most important categories with time blocks on your calendar. This is how time-based productivity works. It works on the time available to do your work. Not everything has to be done today or even this week or month. When you're processing your work inbox, you decide what you need to do with something, then choose the best time to do it. There will be other factors to take into account, such as the deadline, who's asking you to do something and so on. But ultimately, you are deciding when to work on a particular category. This is the opposite of the more traditional task-based systems that treat every task as individually important and as something that must be done ASAP. That way is unsustainable, as I am sure many of you have found out. It creates huge lists of stuff that may or may not need to be done, which just overwhelms you. You cannot do everything at once or even this week. If you want to learn more about time-based productivity, I have added a link to a blog post I wrote about it in the show notes. And just a heads up. The next Ultimate Productivity Workshop is coming soon. On Fridays the 15 and 22nd May, 2 sessions, 2 hours each over two weeks. If your calendar is swamped with meetings and commitments, that leaves you with no room to do the work these meetings are generating. If you find your inboxes are overflowing with tasks and messages, and you cannot see a way out of it all, then this is the workshop for you This workshop will teach you, in a live setting, how to move from an unsustainable, task-based system to a more sustainable, time-based one, along with many other lessons to help you get control of your calendar and all those inboxes. I will put the details in the show notes so you can learn more about how this workshop will help you.

Trent Fleskens interviews Craig Hyne from Country Values about property and land trends in Gingin (population just over 800) and nearby towns like Bindoon, Guilderton and Lancelin. Craig outlines Gingin's farming and horticulture roots, limited housing construction for decades, and the impact of the new Brookview Estate (107 residential lots plus a commercial area) near the town centre. Blocks that once sold for $100–$120k rose from about $149k in late 2023 to around $225k by the final stage, while the 12‑month median house price is about $630k, up from roughly $450k pre‑COVID, with scarce listings and examples of sharp resale gains. Buyers include metro downsizers, FIFO workers and investors, with growing in-migration and demand for further land supply; Craig also notes strong uptake in South Lancelin, with many eastern states investors.

Yudi Kurniawan Budi Susilo, Dewi Yuliana, Shamima Abdul Rahman, Siew Lian Leong. Clinical Breast Cancer 2026.Episode Summary: In this deep dive, we explore a revolutionary approach to a massive real-world healthcare bottleneck: agonizingly long diagnostic wait times in resource-constrained public hospitals. We unpack a 2026 study that bypasses strict patient privacy red tape by using AI trained entirely on synthetic, computer-generated breast tissue images. More importantly, the researchers built a "digital twin" of a Malaysian hospital to prove how an AI triage system could reorganize the diagnostic queue, catching aggressive cancers much faster while effectively conjuring new specialists out of thin air through massive time savings.In This Episode, We Cover:• The "FIFO" Bottleneck: Why the traditional First-In, First-Out workflow traps critical malignant biopsies behind a mountain of benign cases (which make up 70-80% of biopsies), acting like a trauma surgeon forced to treat paper cuts before looking at a major emergency.• Solving the Data Paradox with GANs: How the team used Generative Adversarial Networks (StyleGAN2-ADA) to forge 10,000 synthetic whole slide images, achieving such high statistical realism (FID < 25) that human pathologists were fooled and gave a >90% plausibility rating.• The AI Triage Engine: A look into the Convolutional Neural Network built on a pre-trained ResNet50 architecture. We discuss how it uses an attention-based Multiple Instance Learning (MIL) mechanism to break down billions of pixels into digestible patches, achieving a staggering 96.5% sensitivity—acting as a hyper-vigilant gatekeeper to ensure no cancers are missed.• Sim City for Pathology: How the researchers avoided testing on a live clinic and instead ran a Discrete-Event Simulation mimicking a chaotic public hospital for 250 days, factoring in chaotic arrival times and human reading delays.• The Shocking Results: The pure AI triage system plummeted turnaround time for suspicious cases by 38.3% (dropping from 7.24 days to 4.47 days), vastly outperforming hybrid or rule-based systems.• The Ripple Effect (Green Labs & Burnout): The system slashed pathologist workloads by 22.5% (saving 422 specialist hours annually) and reduced chemical reagent consumption by 15.2% by batch-processing the benign queue with standard chemicals.• The Reality Check: The critical limitations of synthetic data when faced with the messy realities of a physical hospital, including varying digital scanner color calibrations, IT infrastructure crashes, and local histological edge cases.Key Takeaway: AI in medicine isn't just about making the diagnosis—it's about fixing the workflow. By combining hyper-realistic synthetic data generation with discrete-event simulation, researchers proved that simply allowing an algorithm to sort a hospital's backlog can cut agonizing wait times for cancer patients by 38.3% and significantly relieve overburdened medical staff. The digital twin of the hospital is already here, and it might just hold the cure for systemic healthcare gridlockSupport the showGet the "Digital Pathology 101" FREE E-book and join us!

Karin Ridley is just 3 weeks out from the Delirious start line, and this check-in has a bit of everything - red dirt, FIFO life, physio wins, date nights, beer laps, and a whole lot of determination. Karin shares what it's been like starting a new job in the Pilbara while still trying to train, including 2:30am wake-ups, hot evening walk-runs in 38 degrees, and finding a routine that actually works. She also gives a great update on her injury recovery, with the exciting news that her physio has basically “broken up” with her because she's doing so well. This chat is full of the real stuff that goes into preparing for a 200-mile race - not just the kilometres, but the food, sleep, planning, mindset, and the people around you who help make it possible. Karin talks about losing 5.7kg through better fuelling and cutting out alcohol, how that's helped her body heal, and why her main goal now is simple: keep moving forward and get to the finish line. She and Ben have been fine-tuning their race plan, including aid station time limits, sleep stops, and how to avoid getting stuck chatting when it's time to get moving again. There are also some beautiful reminders in this episode about what makes ultra running so special. Karin talks about the Delirious community, the volunteers, the crew, the shared madness of it all, and why this sport really is for everybody. One of my favourite lines from this chat? Ultra running is basically a moving picnic. And honestly… she's not wrong. If you love hearing how everyday runners pull big dreams together around work, life, injury, family and a lot of laughs, you'll love this one. A few standout takeaways from Karin: •If you really want something, you find a way to make it work •Doing the rehab properly really does pay off •Better fuelling can change everything •Aid stations are wonderful… but also dangerous if you love a chat •In ultra running, finishing is always a brilliant goal •We're very lucky to be part of a sport with such a generous community Delirious WEST event Website – https://deliriouswest200miler.com.au/ Event Facebook Page – https://www.facebook.com/groups/1428304207182387 ⸻

Susilo YKB, Yuliana D, Rahman SA, Leong SL. Clinical Breast Cancer 2026.Episode Summary: In this journal club deep dive on the Digital Pathology Podcast, we explore a 2026 study tackling severe diagnostic bottlenecks in breast cancer care. Facing a critical shortage of pathologists and agonizing patient wait times, researchers in Malaysia designed a deep learning triage system. But here is the major twist: they trained their highly accurate AI entirely on fake, synthetic tissue. We examine how this virtual simulation could revolutionize resource-constrained healthcare systems and ask a profound philosophical question: are the most powerful medical tools of tomorrow going to be built from the digital ghosts of patients who never even existed?In This Episode, We Cover:• The FIFO Problem: Why the standard "First-In, First-Out" (FIFO) laboratory queue is failing patients, burying urgent malignancies under routine benign cases (which make up 70-80% of biopsies), and causing excruciating turnaround times of over 14 days.• The AI Triage Solution: How researchers used a Convolutional Neural Network (based on ResNet50) combined with an attention-based Multiple Instance Learning (MIL) mechanism to analyze massive whole-slide images and automatically bump suspicious cases to the front of the line.• Training on "Digital Ghosts": The wild reality of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) like StyleGAN2-ADA. To bypass privacy laws and data scarcity, the AI was trained on 10,000 completely synthetic biopsy slides that were mathematically so realistic, expert human pathologists gave them a plausibility rating of over 90%.• The Virtual Hospital: How researchers built an in-silico Discrete-Event Simulation using a Python library called SimPy. By inputting real-world hospital parameters, they created a digital twin to safely stress-test their AI without risking real patient lives.• Transformative Results: The simulation projected a 38.3% reduction in wait times for critical cancer cases and a massive 22.5% drop in pathologist workload (saving over 422 hours annually). It also highlighted a 15.2% decrease in toxic reagent use, proving AI can support green laboratory sustainability initiatives.• The Reality Check: Why this incredible simulated blueprint still needs rigorous real-world clinical validation before it can overcome the physical, messy inconsistencies—like tissue folds, scanner downtime, and variable stains—of a live laboratory.Key Takeaway: Algorithmic queue management can fundamentally transform resource-constrained health systems. By proving that a highly accurate, cancer-detecting AI can be trained on purely synthetic data, this study offers a compelling blueprint to bypass privacy hurdles and data scarcity, drastically cutting diagnostic delays and saving vital specialist hoursSupport the showGet the "Digital Pathology 101" FREE E-book and join us!

Send us a textA flipped boat, a blinking EPIRB, and a helicopter descent into a sunset—Matt O'Brien's life pivot starts there. From mining shifts and weekend benders to air rescue work, and a growing list of endurance adventures; Matt's story is a blueprint for rebuilding a life around endurance and purpose.We unpack how he cracked into rescue aviation by cold-messaging mentors on LinkedIn, tackled a fitness test he once thought impossible, and learned to swim from scratch as an adult. Matt shares the nuts and bolts of training through a harsh roster—day shifts as recovery, nights for volume, and two weeks off to stack big sessions—plus the mental habits that made those choices stick. If you're navigating shift work training, adult swim relearning, or prepping for Ultraman distances, his playbook is practical and honest.Matt also takes us 4,200 kms across Australia from Fremantle to Sydney on an unsupported bikepacking journey defined by mechanical chaos and grit. He rode through the Nullarbor with breaking spokes, limped into Ceduna to swap a rim, and woke to find his bike stolen—only to track it with an AirTag on his keys and get it back. Along the way, we break down roadhouse food realities, water carry strategies, and the small logistics that make or break an ultra-distance plan. And we revisit his first Ultraman finish, where pacers and crew helped him slip under the run cutoff by minutes, setting clear goals for a calmer, faster return to UM Australia in 2026.If you're a beginner eyeing your first triathlon, a FIFO worker balancing training with fatigue, or an endurance fan who loves a hard-earned comeback, this one's for you.

En este episodio cerramos 2025 resolviendo, por fin, las dudas más repetidas sobre fiscalidad cripto: cómo tributan las criptomonedas en España, cuándo hay que declararlas aunque no saques euros al banco, qué pasa con los exchanges extranjeros, el modelo 721, el método FIFO, el staking y los errores más comunes que ve Hacienda. Nos acompaña José María Gentil, inspector de Hacienda y experto en criptoactivos, para explicarlo de forma práctica y con ejemplos claros. Además, dejamos una batería de “checkpoints” de última hora para optimizar la declaración de 2026 sin sustos. En "El Corrillo" hacemos un cierre de año muy nuestro: balance de la 7ª temporada, casi 400.000 escuchas (¡gracias!), mapas de dónde nos oís —España a la cabeza, con EE. UU., Reino Unido, Alemania y México detrás… y hasta dos oyentes en Groenlandia— y un tirón de orejas cariñoso porque hemos recibido menos comentarios que en 2024. Repasamos los episodios más escuchados y os pedimos vuestro top del año: cuál ha sido vuestro programa favorito y qué entrevista os ha marcado. Además en “El fondo de la semana by Self Bank”, Victoria Torre comparte una lectura rápida para 2026 y dos ideas para ilustrarla —un ETF de renta fija (Invesco Euro Government Bond 3–5 Year UCITS ETF) y un fondo de renta variable temática (KBI Global Sustainable Infrastructure Fund)— como ejemplos de cómo pensar carteras en el nuevo año (no es recomendación de inversión).

What if reorganizing a single supply room could change the way your entire hospital delivers care? On this episode of Power Supply, we're joined by Judith Ramos, Project Manager at UT Southwestern Medical Center, as she breaks down how her team turned manual counts and cluttered PARs into a standardized, clinician-friendly system. From color-coded product families and two-bin Kanban to min/max levels, FIFO (first-in, first-out), and utilization reports that account for seasonality, Judith shares her team's seven-year optimization journey that cut waste, reduced stockouts, and made supplies easier to find when seconds matter. She also explains how this foundation gave her team the confidence to open a brand-new patient tower without starting from scratch. If you're ready to turn chaotic supply rooms into calm, predictable spaces, this conversation will have you rethinking what's possible with PAR optimization!

Welcome back to ask uncut where we unpack your deep and burning questions!Keeshia had a bit of a nightmare commute to work this morning and it led to her disclosing some of our BTS secrets. We somehow ended up speaking about trigger warnings and the research that suggests they’re not as useful as we have been led to believe.Vibes for the week:Keeshia - Emily Henry “Great Big Beautiful Life” Britt - @parkergetajob Then we jump into your questions! THINKING ABOUT MAKING A SEX TAPE FOR MY BFMy partner and I are thinking about making a sex tape. He is FIFO week on week off swings. We can’t really talk on the phone or FaceTime. Because of his job he is around people all the time and sleeps in a swag with everyone else around him so people would hear if I call him for sexy time. I trust him and don’t have any fears that he will show anyone or anything bad will happen. However, am I being stupid because things live on the internet forever and it could always get out somehow. The person you date if not the same person you break up with, maybe it does get out one day. Do I do it or not? Also have either of you ever done it? I love you girls so much and couldn’t think of anyone else I could ask this question to. HOW TO DISCUSS FINANCES/DEFACTCO WITH NEW BF - I EARN MUCH MOREI’ve been seeing a guy for about 5-6 months. Everything is going great and he is a walking green flag. I’m starting to feel myself get a bit more invested but still not 100%. My problem is a financial one. I have a relatively successful business (I’m talking 7 figures) which he is aware of. I understand that there will come a time where we have to discuss what this looks like going forward and when we are classed as a de facto relationship, how finances will look. I know that there are some criteria that have to be met before being classed as a de facto relationship and what he may be entitled to, should we continue on this steady path. In my opinion, everything that I have earnt before him in my business and property purchases, is considered my own and I worry that he could be entitled to that when we are considered de facto (not that I think he would take anything from me, but you never know)! The thing is, I’m unsure of when I should broach this topic with him. Part of me wants to discuss it now so I know we are on the same page, rather than getting another 1-2 years in and he is unhappy about it. If he’s unhappy about it, that’s a big red flag to me. Is it worth having this conversation sooner rather than later, and if so, how would you go about discussing it ? We are quite open with everything else and we each know what the other owns and salaries etc. He also partially owns a property and is on a six figure salary. MY DAUGHTER HAD A SLEEPOVER WITH A STRANGER WITHOUT US KNOWINGI'm married with a 6 year old daughter from a previous marriage. My new husband is amazing and adores my daughter. We are having another baby in November. My in-laws were great for the first few months but have had a few issues come up and I want to know what your opinion is of this particular scenario. My daughter was having a sleepover with my in-laws, who she adores. I found out whilst they had her that my husband's mum's nephew had come over and had a sleepover too. He is 9 and we have met him maybe 2 or 3 times. They slept in the same bed upstairs whilst my partner's parents were sleeping downstairs. We were incredibly uncomfortable with this. When we confronted them, it was basically implied that we were being over dramatic and they refused to accept that we weren't okay with it and did not apologise. Do you think we were being over dramatic? When my husband picked her up he walked in the room and they were watching movies and TV shows in the bed together, not supervised and the nephew didn't even recognise who my husband was so we are definitely not close family.

Episode 3251: The Mad Fientist breaks down a powerful but often overlooked tax strategy that can significantly boost your investment returns: specific share identification. By choosing exactly which shares to sell, you can minimize capital gains taxes and optimize long-term wealth accumulation, a simple tweak with massive financial upside. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.madfientist.com/specific-share-identification/ Quotes to ponder: "Most brokerages default to FIFO (first-in, first-out), but that's not usually the most tax-efficient method." "With specific share identification, you choose which shares you sell, which means you can control how much tax you'll pay." "Taking a few minutes to choose which shares to sell can save you thousands of dollars over your investing lifetime."
