Sönke Ahrens: How to Take Smart Notes Sönke Ahrens is the creator of Take Smart Notes, a project dedicated to helping students, academics and nonfiction writers get more done - ideally with more fun and less effort. He has spent years researching and experimenting with different note-taking systems and his settled on a methodology called Zettlekasten. Sönke is a writer, coach, and academic -- and also the author of the bestselling book, How to Take Smart Notes: One Simple Technique to Boost Writing, Learning and Thinking - for Students, Academics and Nonfiction Book Writers*. In this conversation, Sönke and I discuss how to move past the practice of simply reading and highlighting by beginning to seek meaning. We explore how you might create a system for doing this and how external scaffolding can help. Plus, we explain what notes might look like and how you can use them for an ongoing conversation with yourself — and perhaps others. Key Points Move past details and look for meaning. As we become familiar with something, we may start believing we understand it. Real thinking requires external scaffolding. It's not so much about saving information, but in making connections between the information. Your notes need not be long or numerous, but should spark (and continue) future conversations with yourself.

Sourcing talented people is a HUGE challenge right now. Over 38 million people quit their jobs in 2021. And a lot of them are not coming back. Then we have the divide over pandemic policies that has driven people away from corporate America. Making it more difficult to retain good people. But sourcing is not the biggest challenge in today's hiring landscape. Engagement is. It is important that we utilize every viable avenue (ie: boards, postings & direct recruiting) with the objective of just starting intentional conversations. By intentional, I mean, not selling. But understanding the desires of the person first… Because It's not about you. Intentional conversations lead to engagement. Engagement leads to the hire!

It's a product development reference that comes up often in the startup world - is your product a painkiller or a vitamin? Today I take this reference and apply to how we each choose to live our lives. Are we forward-thinking, intentional and patient with doing the things that are meaningful like a vitamin? Or are we going from one fire to another, being pushed through life until we are forced to take the painkiller for the things that we weren't making time for or were choosing to ignore? unpackingmyself@gmail.com or Insta: @unpackingmyself

Enrico talks about his experience on set, what it was like working with the one and only Frankie Faison, how the Morgan Freeman came on board as an executive producer, and how the film was received at festivals. AND they share what it was like to watch the film with Kenneth Chamberlain's family. Honestly, do go watch this film! It was a great pleasure to speak to these two great filmmakers.

Today's show is a search of quality real estate news in the mainstream media. I suppose it's also a critique of the Wall Street Journal. I've been reading the Wall Street Journal since I was a teenager. Yes, I know that sounds completely weird. As a teenager, I would go to the news stand and purchase the physical paper. Even if I was traveling in Europe as a kid, I would buy both the FT and the WSJ and the differences between the US edition and the European edition of the WSJ were readily apparent. I would also regularly buy the Sunday edition of the NY Times. I loved the fact that the NY Times Sunday edition was so thick it would take me an entire week to go through it. But today, much as I appreciate some of the reporting in the WSJ, I have to give them a failing grade for their real estate section. I went in search of more mainstream publications hoping to find something meaningful on real estate. Forbes Magazine, owned by publisher and libertarian Steve Forbes, sadly had little more to offer. Their real estate page was filled with stories of luxury properties. One article talked about exploring Paradise Valley, Arizona's most expensive zip code. I know that the Forbes Council on Real Estate has some esteemed members. But somehow the access to this talent has not translated into meaningful content in the publication. The Financial Times doesn't have a real estate section at all. Their reporting of economic and stock market news rivals the quality of the WSJ. But again, no commercial real estate news. Even Bloomberg News doesn't cover real estate. The latter is not that surprising because Bloomberg has its roots on Wall Street having developed the industry's fastest trading terminals for market traders.

Hello and welcome to the Baha'i Blogcast with me your host, Rainn Wilson. In this series of podcasts I interview members of the Baha'i Faith and friends from all over the world about their hearts, and minds, and souls, their spiritual journeys, what they're interested in, and what makes them tick. In this episode I interview Dr. Elena Mustakova, an educator, social scientist and integral psychologist who believes that psychological and spiritual health are inseparable. We talk about why individuals betray themselves, and the relationship between the individual and their environment. We discuss fear, the potential pitfalls of ideology, the interdependent world we live in, sacred activism, and the difference between spirituality, religion and collective consciousness. I'm sure you'll enjoy this conversation as much as I did!

Man is organic with the world. His inner life moulds the environment and is itself also deeply affected by it. The one acts upon the other and every abiding change in the life of man is the result of these mutual reactions." (Letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi, To an individual believer, 17 February 1933) * Elena shares this quote by Max Planck: "All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent Mind. This Mind is the matrix of all matter." * Elena shares this quote from Baha'u'llah: "A mighty force, a consummate power lieth concealed in the world of being. Fix your gaze upon it and upon its unifying influence, and not upon the differences which appear from it." * Meaningful and Distinctive Conversations: https://bit.ly/31VLH9Q * Study Circles & Ruhi books: https://www.ruhi.org/materials/list.php * Elena shares this prayer by Baha'u'llah: "Create in me a pure heart, O my God, and renew a tranquil conscience within me, O my Hope! Through the spirit of power confirm Thou me in Thy Cause, O my Best-Beloved, and by the light of Thy glory reveal unto me Thy path, O Thou the Goal of my desire! Through the power of Thy transcendent might lift me up unto the heaven of Thy holiness, O Source of my being, and by the breezes of Thine eternity gladden me, O Thou Who art my God! Let Thine everlasting melodies breathe tranquillity on me, O my Companion, and let the riches of Thine ancient countenance deliver me from all except Thee, O my Master, and let the tidings of the revelation of Thine incorruptible Essence bring me joy, O Thou Who art the most manifest of the manifest and the most hidden of the hidden!"

What happens when a person leaves? Do you know it in advance? In a prior blog I wrote about the often unknown reasons that blindside employers when a rock star quits. Today, let's look at taking a more proactive approach: checking in on what it'll take to keep your stars at your organization.Great people are hard to find. And can be harder to keep. I recently came across a terrific book, Love ‘Em or Lose ‘Em: Getting Good People to Stay, by Beverly Kaye and Sharon Jordan-Evans. I highly recommend it.As a leadership and culture coach I very often work through personnel matters. So when I witnessed the clear and concise thinking from Kaye and Jordan-Evans, I knew I had to share it.Why Employees StayKaye and Jordan-Evans surveyed over 17,000 employees to learn what conditions will keep an employee with an organization. They call these conditions “stay factors”. Note that these are neither industry-specific nor role-specific, they are universal.1. Exciting work and challenge2. Career growth, learning, and development3. Working with great people4. Fair pay6. Being recognized, valued, and respected7. Benefits8. Meaningful work and making a difference9. Pride in the organization, its mission, and its product10. Great work environment and cultureInteresting tidbit: 91 percent of survey respondents listed at least one of the first two items among the top reasons they stay. I love that challenge and learning is at the top. This is one reason I harp on Individual Development Plans to our clients!How To Do A Stay InterviewHow to do a Stay Interview? You simply ask the employee. Some leaders fear that discussing this topic will open a proverbial can of worms and get the employee thinking about leaving. I disagree heartily. The employee is already thinking of leaving at times, possibly on hard days, when they feel overwhelmed or discouraged, if they're experiencing tremendous stress in their personal lives. It's likely only a fantasy about leaving, but why not simply communicate directly about it? It's refreshing, builds trust, and shows you care.There's no ideal time to do a stay interview. The goal is to do it before an employee has one foot out the door. You can do it during a development conversation, when checking in on their development plan, you can do it at year end or at the new year, any time is fine. If you don't know what their answers might be to the below questions, then it's time to do now!Recommended “Stay Interview” Questions From Kaye and Jordan-Evans:· What about your job makes you jump out of bed in the morning?· What makes you hit the snooze button?· If you were to win the lottery and resign, what would you miss the most?· What one thing that if changed in your current role, would make you consider moving on?· If you had a magic wand, what would be the one thing you would change about this department?· If you had to go back to a position in your past and stay for an extended period of time, which one would it be and why?· What makes for a great day?· What can we do to make your job more satisfying?· What can we do to support your career goals?· Do you get enough recognition?· What will keep you here? What might entice you away?· What do you want to learn this year? How might you learn it?Be sure to ask “anything else I might have missed?” and use effective listening (ask “what specifically?” and the other questions in the linked blog). And be careful with your responses: don't dismiss their ideas/input/answers, be curious as to what it's like to be them. You don't know, so be an anthropologist studying a fascinating creature. If done this way the interview will deepen connection, loyalty, trust, and ultimately, boost retention.What You Can Do Now1. Implement Individual Development Plans – people need to know they are growing and learning. This helps us feel achievement and empowerment at work—which is key. Keep it simple: have the employee and their leader develop it together. If you make it too complex no one will do it!2. Do regular Employee Engagement surveys so you know how people are feeling.3. Create a Cultural GAME (Growth, Appreciation, Measurement, Engagement) Plan based on the results from your survey in #2 above. Here's an infographic.4. Give Frequent Bi-Directional Feedback so everyone is connected and clear on what's working and what they'd like to see more of. Here's an infographic.The Net-Net· Stay interviews help you understand how your team members are feeling about their work—it's essential to stop guessing and start knowing what will keep your stars happy· Do stay interviews across your organization as needed, during development conversations is a good timePut the recommended programs place to maintain and grow the good feelings in your organization.

How should businesses deal with communication breakdown among leaders and teams? And where do they begin when it comes to clarifying needs and addressing conflict? According to recent guest Tim Franz, the Workplace Covenant is a time-test method for merging the obligations and expectations inherent in any workplace relationship. Listen in to hear how it works and get some valuable insight about fostering meaningful partnership at work.  TAKEAWAYS To truly listen to others, one must listen to understand and make sense of the feelings that the speaker is experiencing. The Workplace Covenant is a method that makes both the leader's and the team's implicit needs and desires explicit so that all can work together. Like any other process, the Workplace Covenant must be posted, reviewed in team meetings, and discussed frequently. The underpinning of the meaningful partnership is empathy, respect, trust, and alignment. A QUICK GLIMPSE INTO OUR PODCAST

David and Michelle lament the ever growing abuse of terms from lazy idiots who don't bother to look up the definition of terms before use. Worse, many abused terms become diluted after they are used as commonplace. Worst of all, these terms are often fashioned into weapons. David spotlights the term "Narcissism" as a perfect example of a popular buzz word that is deliciously ironic in that many who wield the term toward others actually tend to have more narcissistic tendencies then their prey. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/red-kite-movement/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/red-kite-movement/support

Hosts Peter Kennedy & Pat Boyle breakdown the Nets recent woes and if Kyrie completing their big 3 can save their championship dreams! Are Kevin Durant and James Harden enough with this current supporting cast to hang with the Bucks and Bulls of the world? Can Kyrie Irving being back for half of the games help flip the script? Is it too soon to truly worry about the Nets? Pete & Pat don't see eye to eye - which case do you support? On to NFL: we start by recapping our picks from week 17 where Pat Boyle carried with a 4-1 while Pete slid with a 1-4. Do we have any regrets with our L's or do we regret NOTHING! We continue to discuss the 10 meaningful games of week 18 - which includes a few divisions up for grabs, the AFC 1 seed still in the balance and 3 total playoff spots still undetermined (2 AFC & 1 NFC). First, can the Rams take care of business and win the NFC West or will their thorn in the side Niners play spoiler while solidifying their playoff berth? Can we trust the Cardinals yet? In the AFC, do we have a dark horse in the Colts or can the possible 1 seed Titans prove their worth with the return of Derrick Henry? The volatile Bengals may be the apple of fans eyes at the moment but can their big shot offense hold up into January? How will Chargers @ Raiders play out?

We're barely a week into the New Year, but I'll bet plenty of folks are already struggling with the resolutions they felt so excited about back in December. In fact, many people have given up already! According to some studies, 25% of resolutions fail after just a week. After 6 months, less than half of resolutions are still active. A common theme in my reading on this topic is that most resolutions fail because they aren't specific or meaningful enough. On today's show, we discuss why 2022 should be the year you stop making resolutions and start making action plans to hit your top goals -- especially financial ones.

In this episode, Jonathan and TeriAnn dig deep into setting goals and your New Year Resolution by discussing the difference between goals, rituals, and schedules, benefits of goals, statistics around the world, their #1 tip for setting yourself up for success in attaining your goals, and much much more!   Difference between Schedules, Rituals, and Goals Schedule – a plan for carrying out a process or procedure, giving lists of intended events and times. Ritual – (of an action) arising from convention or habit. Goal – the object of a person's ambition or effort; an aim or desired result. Benefits of Goals Provides Direction. First and foremost, goals give you a direction and destination… Clearer Focus on what is important. … Clarity in Decision Making. … Gives you control of your future. … Provides Motivation. … Gives you a sense of personal satisfaction. … Gives you a sense of purpose in life. Goals By The Numbers in the United States 53% say save money, 45% lose weight or get in shape, 25% have more sex, 24% travel more, 23% read more books, 22% learn a new skill or hobby, 21% buy a house, 16% quit smoking and 1 5% find love. Resolutions Around the World Canada 33% for improving personal fitness and 21% to focus on financial goals Sweden 47% eat healthier, 31% start training, 27% reduce stress, 20% drink less alcohol, 11% spend more time with family and friends, 8% get my finances under control. Intimacy and Happiness Intimacy is crucial to normal human functioning and can help ward off depression, aggression, and calm anxiety. To foster intimacy, partners must: accept one another for who they are; experience high regard for each other; enhance the welfare of each other; give emotional support to each other during difficult or negative experiences; share occasional experiences of interest, excitement, and enjoyment; be reliably “there” for each other; communicate on more than superficial or practical levels; and acknowledge each other's unique value. Quote on Health “Men will spend their health getting wealth. Then, gladly pay all they have earned to get health back.” ~ Mike Murdock Princeton Study on Wealth and Happiness We have habits everywhere in our lives, but certain routines — keystone habits — lead to a cascade of other actions because of them. Americans report very high levels of stress (fifth among 151 countries). More money does not necessarily buy more happiness, but less money is associated with emotional pain. $75,000 may be a threshold beyond which further increases in income no longer improve individuals' ability to do what matters most to their emotional well-being, such as spending time with people they like, avoiding pain and disease, and enjoying leisure. Data speaks only to differences; it doesn't imply that people will not be happy with a raise from $100,000 to $150,000, or that they will be indifferent to an equivalent drop in income. Changes of income in the high range certainly have emotional consequences. #1 Tip for Setting Goals/Resolutions Focus on one major thing at a time! S.M.A.R.T. Goals Specific: Your goals must be specific. They must outline precisely what it is that you would like to achieve. The more detail, the better. Specifically, focus on what you want and not on how you will accomplish these things. Measurable: Your goals must be measurable. Spend some time developing a process that you will use to measure your progress as you work toward your goals. How will you know you are making progress? Attainable: Your goals must be attainable. This effectively means that you must wholeheartedly believe that you can achieve your goals. Realistic: Your goals must be realistic. Your goals are realistic when you have the time, money, resources, and skills needed to achieve the goal. If you lack in any of these areas, then you need to get to work or set a different objective. Timed: Your goals must be timed. You must set a deadline for the achievement of your goal. Without clear deadlines, you will likely succumb to procrastination and instant gratification.   S – Specific (or Significant). M – Measurable (or Meaningful). A – Attainable (or Action-Oriented). R – Relevant (or Rewarding). T – Time-bound (or Trackable).   New Year's Resolutions You Can Actually Stick To Break a Bad Habit – this type of resolution tends to be specific enough that you can actually hold yourself accountable and keep with it. Once you find that you have full control over yourself when it comes to overcoming the bad habit, you might even be inspired to expand that mindset into larger aspects of your life like work, relationships and health.   Try Something New – It's only human nature to stick to what we know. But while it's perfectly fine to have routine and a sense of normalcy in your lives, broadening your horizons to new experiences can only help you grow. Choose one thing you don't usually do or have never done and break out of your comfort zone a bit.   Prioritize Self-Care – Sometimes we are so busy worrying about others that we forget to take time for our mental and physical health. If you feel guilty taking some me-time, keep in mind that there's a difference between taking care of yourself and being self-indulgent.   Mend Relationships – If you want an easy way to get into the whole “new year, new me” mindset, letting go of grudges and mending relationships is a good place to start. At the same time, recognize when someone in your life is toxic or is holding you back in any way. The people you surround yourself with play a role in shaping who you are, so make sure their qualities, personalities, and values and line up in some way with those of your own.   Go Easy On Yourself – Recognize all your hard work and learn when it's time to treat yourself. If you vowed to eat healthier this year that doesn't mean you have to deprive yourself from a delicious meal or a night out with friends. Life is all about balance, and taking a break once in a while might keep you from giving up on your resolution all together.   Resources: Organixx Empowering You Organically Organixx's INSPIRED Library SMART Goals: Human Intimacy: Princeton Study on Wealth and Happiness: Statistics on Resolutions: How to Win the Year With New Healthy Habits Organixx Supplements

As entrepreneurs, these are the conversations that we should look for. Engaging in conversations with other people can give you that “Aha!” moment. But how exactly can we engage in those types of conversations? Listen to this episode to know more! Darshan Mehta of iResearch is going to talk about how you can create meaningful conversations.

As we start a new year, goal-setting is typically on the radar for many. While initial motivation for change may be high, statistics show the majority of New Year's resolutions are broken by mid January. I've found SMART goal-setting has been extremely helpful for accomplishing my goals over the last few years , but using the NLP model has taken it to an entirely new level. Since I am sure you are already familiar with traditional SMART goals let's talk about it using NLP With NLP You're setting goals that.... S- You SEE YOURSELF accomplishing. You can take it a step further and bring in all of your senses (since your subconscious doesn't know the difference between your imagination and what's real) it will be drawn to manifesting it. M- Setting goals that are MEANINGFUL to you. You are not going to maintain motivation if the goal isn't aligned with what you deeply desire. A- ALL AREAS- you want to set the ones that create domino effect meaning they don't only impact the one area in your life, but many other areas as well. R-RESPONSIBLE aka ecological. When thinking of your goals you want to ensure it's safe for you and all involved. Remember your vision is so much bigger than you. T- TOWARDS MOTIVATED. Whatever the subconscious mind holds is what it's drawn towards therefore it's imperative that when you set your goals you're focused on what you DO want, not what you don't want. I challenge you to use the NLP framework to manifest your vision for 2022. This year is yours!

This is one of the treatments that are offered at the Poppy Clinic, you can receive it as a stand-alone treatment or as part of your holistic health care. IV stands for Intravenous. It is a 40-minute session during which you are administered a customized blend of vitamins intravenously, right into your bloodstream. The advantage of getting your vitamins this way is that the digestive tract is bypassed in order for you to absorb 100% of what you are getting, you are receiving the vitamins directly, and are able to get much higher doses of the vitamins than you would ever be able to get otherwise. Did you know that 1 of 3 people have a digestive compromise? This means that even if you are eating a great diet or taking all of your vitamins, you might not actually be digesting and absorbing everything. IV Vitamin Therapy is the treatment that helps you absorb 100% of vitamins into your system. Benefits of IV Vitamin Therapy: - Boost your immune system - Heal from chronic disease - Fight off infections - Boost your mood - Improve sleep quality - Calm your nervous system - Health optimization - Prevention of disease - Anti-aging and collagen production boost Reach out to the Poppy Clinic! You don't need a referral. We look forward to meeting you very soon!

“Ecclesiastes is realistic,” wrote seminary professor Thomas Schreiner. “It teaches us that life under the sun is often empty, futile, and absurd, and yet it does not run us into the rocks of despair...When we understand that this world isn’t paradise on earth, we are reminded that nothing is more important than a right relationship with God.” Learning what is true and valuable helps us know what to prioritize and pursue. As we saw yesterday, the writer of Ecclesiastes evaluated life “under the sun” to be “meaningless, a chasing after the wind” (1:13–14). But when life is lived “above the sun,” that is, in the context of the fear of the Lord, obedience, and worship, human life, knowledge, and endeavors can become meaningful (12:13–14). Only in this context is Ecclesiastes and the quest for learning and wisdom itself meaningful (vv. 9–10). For example, the Teacher (probably Solomon) had collected and arranged proverbs, passing on wisdom to future generations through his careful philosophical and literary effort. But this, too, would have been “chasing after the wind” without God in the picture. These proverbs are like “goads” or “firmly embedded nails” (vv. 11–12). A goad is a sharp stick designed to herd sheep in the right direction. For those inclined to stray, learning can be a painful process. And as generations of students can affirm: “Of making many books there is no end, and much study wearies the body” (v. 12). So why do it? To stay on the right path, and as part of the pursuit of godliness. Thankfully, all true wisdom comes from one Shepherd, and His love and justice can be trusted. God is the “conclusion of the matter” (vv. 13–14). Without Him, human learning is meaningless and hopeless—with Him, meaningful and hopeful! >> Take time again today to examine your feelings about each part of your life. Which parts of it are being lived “above the sun” or for God’s purpose? How can you make more of your life count for eternity (1 Cor. 3:12–15)?

Underneath, there are 250 “bidirectional” chargers for electric cars, so that in the future, cars parked in the lot can help store that solar power for the grid." "The city aims to be the first in the world to be fully bidirectional, using electric car batteries to help solve one of the challenges of renewable energy: Solar and wind power aren't always available, and building large batteries for storage is still expensive. As more people shift to EVs, the cars can double as grid infrastructure." "The University of Utrecht calculated that with 10,000 electric cars using bidirectional charging, it will be possible to balance the city's entire electricity needs. That's less than 10% of the city's current fleet of cars; EVs are quickly growing, and the Netherlands plans to ban sales of new gas and diesel cars beginning in 2030."
