#1018 | Ed and Dan on United's step towards a new Old Trafford after the club bought 25 acres next door. Should United move? And if it's inevitable, can the club keep its history and avoid another concrete bowl? On the money, a warning against the simple version: this will be structured, debt, equity, naming rights and personal seat licences, not one clean option. Then transfers: André Onana's loan to Trabzonspor confirmed, the midfield rebuild stalling, £40m on Ederson, hot competition for Mateus Fernandes, and a question mark over Aurélien Tchouaméni.

Zig Ziglar said, “Lack of direction, not lack of time, is the problem. We all have 24 hours a day” When you know where you are going and what you want, you will often find that time will take care of itself. Yet when we have no direction, no idea of what we want, and allow other people to dictate what we do and when, that's when time, or rather a perceived lack of it, becomes the issue.  Today, we're looking at how to discover our direction and decide what we actually want.    Links: Email Me | Twitter | Facebook | Website | Linkedin   The COD Productivity Method  Learn more about the Quiet Productivity Method here Get Your Copy Of Your Time, Your Way: Time Well Managed, Life Well Lived The Working With… Weekly Newsletter Carl Pullein Learning Centre Carl's YouTube Channel Carl Pullein Coaching Programmes Subscribe to my Substack  The Working With… Podcast Previous episodes page   Script |422 Hello, and welcome to episode 422 of the Your Time, Your Way Podcast. A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show.  One of the first exercises I ask people to do in many of my training programmes is to establish their Areas of Focus.  There are eight areas that we all share. These are: Family and relationships. Career or business Health and fitness Finances Lifestyle and life experiences Self-development Spirituality Life's purpose The exercise has you define what each of these means to you, and then identify any recurring tasks that will help keep them in balance so that you are living your life based on what you have identified as important to you.  The thing about your areas of focus is that, while we all share the same eight areas, how we define and prioritise them will differ.  This also changes depending on where you are in life. For someone who has retired, career or business will likely drop in priority and lifestyle and life experiences may move up.  Yet the power of knowing what your areas of focus mean to you is in how they help to give you direction and purpose.  This week's question is about how to maintain that balance when competing demands outside of your control clash with your own priorities. So, let me now hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question.  This week's question comes from Annie. Annie asks, hi Carl. I use the Time Sector System, and for the most part it works brilliantly. The problem I have is that my boss and sometimes my family keep demanding my help with things that are not my priority. How can I stay on track with the things that are important to me?  Hi Annie, thank you for your question.  This can be very frustrating, particularly if you have spent time establishing what is important to you, yet other people keep trying to pull you away from doing the things you want to do. This is where having some structure built into your week can help.  Let's say that health and fitness is high up on your priority list and that you have chosen to exercise three times per week.  From that, you can pick your exercise days. These could be Monday, Wednesday and Friday, for example.  The first step would be to lock these “dates” on your calendar. Then make sure they are non-negotiable.  For instance, when I was a teenager, I was a competitive 800- and 1,500-metre runner. I was a member of an athletics club and our training days were Tuesday and Thursday evenings and Sunday mornings. Those days and times were non-negotiable. I would never miss a training session. My social life, as well as studying for my exams, were built around these days.  Pretty soon, everyone in my family circle, as well as teachers, knew that on Tuesday and Thursday nights and Sunday mornings, I would not be available for anything. I was training.  Many years later, when I went to university, I did night school. Our lecture times were Tuesday and Thursday night, 6:00 to 9:00 pm.  I was working full-time at the time, and since it took 20 minutes to get from my office to the university, I had to leave the office at 5:30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  I made sure my boss and colleagues knew these times, and not once in four years do I remember missing a lecture.  I made sure I never scheduled meetings beyond 4:00 pm on a university day, and my close friends and family also knew when I would be at university. University was easier than the running club. The university worked in semesters; my athletics club didn't. I remember some of my training partners turning up on Christmas and New Year's Day if they were on a training night.  There's an old saying, “If it's important enough, you'll find the time. If it's not, you'll find an excuse” And having worked with over 500 people in the time management and productivity space, I can tell that old saying is true.  You will find what is important to you by looking at what you will not negotiate on.  I have a friend who is a huge Manchester United fan. He has not missed a home game in over twenty years. It's now become a point of pride for him.  As soon as the new season's fixtures list is published, he opens up his calendar and blocks the time out for the whole season.  I remember early on, when Simon began going to Old Trafford, trying to persuade him not to go watch the game and instead to come out with us. The answer was always “no”.  After a while, we stopped asking him. We know he'd go to Old Trafford and maybe, if it was an afternoon game, he would join us later. That was the best compromise we could get out of him.  Looking back now, I have huge respect and admiration for him for sticking to his priorities.  And that's what happens when you stick to your priorities: people respect and admire you.  It doesn't happen immediately, but when they see that you do not compromise on what you have prioritised, they stop trying to pull you away.  This is why time blocking, when done right, works.  Everyone in my circle, from my wife to the people who work with me, knows that between 9:30 and 11:30 am, I am doing focused work. For the most part, that work will be my creative work: writing, recording videos or this podcast, for example.  No one interrupts me anymore. They used to. But by sticking to my plan, people left me alone.  It's only two hours a day, but those two hours add up to 10 hours a week. And you can do a lot in 10 hours.  But it's not just that you stick to your plan; it's also that it gives you confidence when you plan your week.  When you know that no one will bother you when you are doing your focused work, you can confidently work with the hours that you have.  Most of the anxiety that we feel is not caused by the volume of work we have to do; it's caused by not knowing when we will be able to do it.  Yet there's a fix for that.  Let's say you have to review and report the sales figures to the CEO each day. As you do that task every day, you will know how long it takes you to do. In this example, you know it takes you 45 minutes, and you have to send the report in by 5:00 pm.  Now you have the two most important numbers.  When you begin the day, you have access to yesterday's sales figures, so you have everything you need.  That means the question becomes, when will you do it?  If that were me, I would do that as soon as the day begins. Get it done early so that if anything goes wrong in the day, it won't matter. The sales report is done and only needs to be emailed.  And in many ways, that's what you are doing. You're analysing how long it takes you to do the different parts of your job on average and then using that data to decide when, and if necessary, how often you need to do it.  This is like taking your game from being a Sunday League team to being a Premiership team.  The Sunday League team turns up and plays. No thoughts about tactics or strategy other than to score more goals than the opposition does.  A Premier League team strategises, has a plan, and sticks to it. If they go behind, they stick to the plan. They don't panic.  I recently watched a docuseries on Amazon called All or Nothing. In this particular programme, José Mourinho has just taken over as manager of Tottenham Hotspur.  In one of his first games in charge, Tottenham go behind in the first half and panic. They forget the plan, and everything begins falling apart.  At half-time, you can see Mourinho calming the players down. He tells them to stop panicking and to follow the plan. He talks to them gently and says when they get back on plan, they'll soon find a way back into the game.  And sure enough, that's exactly what happens. In the second half, Tottenham are more relaxed, more controlled, and they win the game by three goals.  In our lives, there's always going to be interruptions and demands from others. Some of them you can politely decline, others perhaps not.  When you cannot decline, because it's a demand from a boss or a family member, the good thing is the decision is made. You need to do what's being asked of you.  The key is not to throw out your plan. The key is to get back on plan as quickly as possible.  The worst thing you can do in these situations is to panic. That tenses you up, and you stop thinking objectively. Instead, accept, adjust and execute.  Accept the situation for what it is. It's something you have to do that you did not plan for. So, adjust your plan. Appraise how much time will be required to carry out the new instructions, and then change your plan accordingly.  Then carry out the work.  It's helpful if you have a few non-negotiables. For instance, experience has taught me that if I do not spend some time each day on my emails and messages, these will quickly get out of control.  Ideally, I like an hour to respond to messages and emails, but if I've had to adjust my plan, I'll do 30 minutes. It just helps keep things under control and doesn't mean I have to find more time tomorrow than I planned for.  The most important thing, though, Annie, is that you first decide what is important to you and what is not. This will help you to make the right decisions each day. That's why going through the Areas of Focus exercise will put you in a much better position.  You will know what is important to you, and you can build your calendar around those priorities.  After that, when things are demanded of you that you cannot decline, stay calm and composed and adjust your plan accordingly.  It's never the end of the world, and as long as you get back onto your plan as quickly as possible, you'll soon find that at the end of the week, you're not far from where you wanted to be.  I hope that has helped. Thank you for your question, Annie, and thank you to you, too, for listening.  It just remains for me now to wish you all a very, very productive week.

As everyone awaits confirmation of Michael Carrick being named as Manchester United manager, Rio is joined by Ste Howson and Joel Beya to discuss the reasons INEOS have finally backed him, whether the fanbase is truly united behind the decision and why Rio believes the club now has no choice but to fully commit to the ‘Carrick project'.The trio debate criticism around Carrick's appointment, the idea he's somehow landed the role “by default” and what his football identity actually is.

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Jacqui Oatley, Jason Burt and Mark Ogden to reflect on the weekend's sporting action.We kick things off with Man City's FA Cup win, edging Chelsea 1-0, as Chelsea appoint Xabi Alonso as their new manager; is Jason right to suggest they've lucked out with Alonso? We also consider Antoine Semenyo's stunning strike as the difference in a final that lacked drama, and discuss how City's experience once again helped them get over the line.Next stop, a dramatic climax to the Scottish Premiership title race, with Celtic pipping Hearts right at the death amid chaotic scenes. We discuss the fallout at full time, a less-than-satisfactory version of VAR, and the controversial midweek decision — before asking whether the arrival of Tony Bloom could turn Hearts into a genuine third force in Scottish football.Next, to news that Michael Carrick is set to get the Manchester United job on a permanent basis. Danyal Khan joins us from Old Trafford to reflect on Casemiro's farewell and Carrick's final home game of the season — but just how excited should United fans be by news of his potential two-year contract extension?Finally, another damaging defeat for Liverpool on Friday night, conceding four against Aston Villa and limping over the line for Champions League qualification. To add insult to injury, Salah appears to take a swipe at Arne Slot with a social media post calling for a return to “heavy metal football”, with several players also liking the post.-•You can watch the sporting action live on Sky Sports.

From the historic win at Old Trafford to the FA Cup quarter-final shootout drama at West Ham, the cup semi-final disappointment at Wembley, the 1-1 with Tottenham in north London, and what survival actually means for the 49ers' long-term project.

After the journey from the training ground where Casemiro discussed his career before joining Manchester United, on their arrival at Old Trafford, him and Rio discuss everything about his time in Manchester whilst sitting in the Stretford End and paying tribute to the supporters.From dealing with “disrespectful” comments from pundits to helping younger players like Kobbie Mainoo through difficult times, nothing is off limits here as Casemiro opens up and surprises Rio even more.The pair discuss the big moments like winning the Carabao Cup but also the difficult times Casemiro faced when he was out of the team - along with what's actually required from players to be able to cope in those scenarios.There is a huge amount of praise for Michael Carrick - how Casemiro describes the way he operates reminds the Brazilian of Ancelotti and Rio of Sir Alex Ferguson!This is an interview like no other - enjoy seeing a different side to the player that is worshipped from the seats they're sitting in. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Rio picks Casemiro up from the Manchester United training ground to take him to Old Trafford where he'll discuss his time at the club.But to make the most of the time spent with the Brazilian captain - Rio finds out so much about Casemiro's life in Brazil, his hopes for the World Cup and how Carlo Ancelotti became his true friend (and how he still smokes in the dressing room when addressing the Brazilian players).There's amazing detail about how he played alongside Luka Modric and Toni Kroos in that legendary midfield, their battles against Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets and the reasons Lionel Messi is ‘impossible' to stop.You'll hear which Real Madrid player Bruno Fernandes reminds Casemiro of and the similarities of playing under immense pressure at both Real and Manchester United.#MUFC #ManUtd #Casemiro #RioFerdinand #OldTrafford #GGMU #BrunoFernandes #UnitedRevolution #RedDevils#RealMadrid #HalaMadrid #Modric #Kroos #Ancelotti #ChampionsLeague #Bernabeu #TheTriangle #KMCMidfield#Messi #LionelMessi #FCBarcelona #Xavi #Iniesta #Busquets #ElClasico #FootballLegends#Brasil #Selecao #WorldCup #CopaDoMundo #Casemiro5 #BrazilianCaptain#RioMeets #Five #BehindTheScenes #FootballPodcast #SoccerStories #DressingRoomSecrets #FootballDebateSubscribe: http://bit.ly/15QO9WERio Ferdinand Presents: rioferdinandpresents.comRio Ferdinand Presents Instagram: https://instagram.com/rioferdinandpresentsRio Ferdinand Presents Twitter/X: https://x.com/RioMeetsRio Ferdinand Presents Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rioferdinandpresentsRio Ferdinand Presents TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@rioferdinandpresentsRio Ferdinand Presents Threads: https://www.threads.net/@rioferdinandpresentsRio Ferdinand Instagram: https://instagram.com/rioferdy5Rio Ferdinand Twitter/X: https://x.com/rioferdy5Rio Ferdinand Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RioFerdinandOfficialRio Ferdinand TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@rioferdy5Rio Ferdinand Threads: https://www.threads.net/@rioferdy5 Hosted on Acast.

Rio is joined by Ste Howson and Joel Beya to break down Manchester United's frustrating performance against Sunderland and why the reaction from some fans has gone completely over the top.While Ste labels the display “terrible”, Rio pushes back on the idea that one bad performance should suddenly end the discussion around Michael Carrick's future - arguing that supporters are being disrespectful both to Sunderland and to the wider rebuilding process at Old Trafford.The trio also debate what United's squad should look like moving forward, including which players Ste believes should leave the club, the recruitment strategy INEOS are finally getting right and why goalkeeper Lammens could end up winning the Players' Player of the Year award.Rio also gives insight into the mentality needed inside elite dressing rooms after Aurélien Tchouaméni was fined for repeatedly striking team-mate Ernesto Valverde at Real Madrid - explaining why arguments between players are often a positive sign and revealing how former Rangers manager Walter Smith actively encouraged fights during training sessions during his time at Manchester United.There's also a heated discussion around Bruno Fernandes winning the Football Writers' Award over Declan Rice and Erling Haaland, with Rio insisting that football awards should be based on performances rather than sportsmanship or narratives.Plus Rio explains why Marcus Rashford could still be one of the bargains of the summer transfer window, why David Raya may have just won Arsenal the Premier League title and why he believes Arsenal could now be favourites for the Champions League.And as always, there's chaos around VAR decisions, bizarre rule change suggestions and a typically fiery debate between Rio and Ste over what Manchester United fans should actually expect from this current team.

#1003 |  Ed and Dominic discuss United's new Betway training kit sponsorship worth £18m per year and the wider ethics and prevalence of betting money in football as front-of-shirt bans loom. They then cover controversy around the FA Youth Cup final being staged at City's 6,000-capacity Joie Stadium, limiting United's allocation compared to the 67,000 at Old Trafford in 2022. The conversation turns to Michael Carrick's interim reign: a pragmatic approach, improved results and momentum, Mainoo's introduction, and the risks of replacing him amid a thin managerial market and a Frankenstein squad. Then they preview Sunderland away, prioritising momentum above the introduction of too many youth team stars. 00:00 Introduction 01:36 Betway Training Kit Sponsorship 09:58 FA Youth Cup Final Controversy 14:06 Academy Players and the Reality of Elite Youth Football 22:12 Michael Carrick: The Case For and Against 31:37 The Manager Market and Alternatives to Carrick 38:18 Transfer Plans and Squad Needs for Next Season 40:28 Sunderland Match Preview If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing a weekly exclusive bonus episode, check out our Patreon page or subscribe on Apple Podcasts.

Arsenal's title race took another dramatic turn after Everton F.C. stunned Manchester City F.C. in one of the biggest results of the Premier League season — and The NN Pod reacts to the chaos, the psychology, and what it means heading into the final stretch.The panel opens with a full Whip Around the Grounds from Matchweek 35, including defeats for Chelsea F.C., Brighton & Hove Albion F.C. and Liverpool F.C., the race for Europe, Spurs' win over Aston Villa F.C., and the growing tension at both ends of the table.VARse returns with a breakdown of the weekend's biggest officiating moments, including the Dean Henderson collision against A.F.C. Bournemouth, the delayed handball angle at Old Trafford, and the Michael Oliver controversy during Everton vs Manchester City. The panel debates “rules is rules”, forensic VAR analysis, and whether consistency in officiating is becoming impossible.Attention then turns to the title race after Everton's dramatic comeback against Manchester City. The hosts discuss the emotional swing of the evening, Rodri's absence, Manchester City's defensive vulnerability, Arsenal's mentality heading into the run-in, and why the Emirates atmosphere for the Champions League semi-final felt inevitable after the result at “Dick Hill”.The conversation then shifts to European football, with detailed reaction to Paris Saint-Germain F.C. vs FC Bayern Munich and what Arsenal could face in a potential Champions League final. There's discussion around Luis Enrique's tactical discipline, Ousmane Dembélé's threat, Manuel Neuer's decline, PSG's defensive structure, fixture congestion, and the growing gap between Premier League demands and the rest of Europe.Elsewhere, the pod reacts to Coventry City F.C. and Ipswich Town F.C. securing promotion to the Premier League, debates who should join them through the play-offs, reflects on Frank Lampard's managerial recovery, and discusses Jack Wilshere's season with Luton Town F.C..There's also discussion on Unai Emery's team selection decisions, the morality of weakened sides late in the season, and whether football's calendar is reaching breaking point.A huge week in football — and a huge week for Arsenal.

It was a blur of a weekend, with seismic results all over Europe! Musa and Ryan begin with Barcelona and Lyonnes getting past Bayern and Arsenal to make it to the UWCL final in Oslo (03:09), moving onto Inter securing their 21st Scudetto (11:37), Venezia making it back to Serie A and more, before heading to the Premier League.Manchester United secured Champions League football for next season (28:31), following their 3-2 win over Liverpool at Old Trafford, so there's chat about that as well as Liverpool's situation. Spurs made it two wins in two to get out of the relegation zone after their win at Villa Park and Bournemouth are one of Europe's most in form teams. Meanwhile, at the top, Arsenal had some key players back and looked sharper than they have in months to beat Fulham 3-0 and go six points clear (50:18) and there's a lot of praise for Myles Lewis-Skelly's performance, starting in midfield for the first time. Finally, there's some Bundesliga chat (56:33), as St. Pauli dropped into the relegation spots and Schalke won promotion back to the top flight.Don't forget to check out kickbacksoccer.com and tickets for our July live show, with Nish Kumar at the Southbank Centre, are available here.For more podcasts, ad-free and in full, plus access to the Stadio Social Club and much more, you can become a Stadio member by signing up at patreon.com/stadio.
