Podcasts about waste of time

Comfort feels kind, but it keeps you immature. The wilderness is where God trains you for weight, yet most of us cheat the process by numbing pain, curating outcomes, and calling it wisdom, while our souls atrophy. This week on Win Today, Dr. Joel Tudman joins me to expose why "finding yourself inside yourself" is a dead end, how the Lord sometimes pulls us apart to make us whole, and how to stay spiritually agile when life is disruptive. If your faith has been built around feelings, not formation. And if you're tired of circling the same mountain with better language, this conversation will call you back to training for godliness, where it actually happens: in the desert. Guest Bio Dr. Joel A. Tudman is a pastor, communicator, and leadership coach who equips people to trade comfort for formation and preference for obedience. Known for clear, high-energy preaching and practical frameworks for spiritual growth, he serves churches and leaders across the country, training teams in character, resilience, and Spirit-led discipline. His work centers on courage, identity, and purpose, calling believers to be formed, not performed. Show Partners We spend a third of our lives asleep, so stop treating your bed like an afterthought.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima discuss the potential of the Cleveland Browns and Shedeur Sanders' relationship coming to an end at the end of the 2025 season.

Do you see any advantage or benefit to the country in having a former Finance Minister and the current one debating fiscal policy? The current Finance Minister, Nicola Willis, has challenged the former Finance Minister, Ruth Richardson, to a debate. Now, that is misguided in my view, but to be fair, she was grievously provoked. Ruth Richardson is the chair of the Taxpayers' Union. The Taxpayers' Union is a pressure group, a ginger group, founded in 2013 to scrutinise government spending, publicise government waste, and promote an efficient tax system. Its basis is its membership is mainly conservative, centre-right, right-wing figures, and it's regarded as a right-wing pressure group. Normally you would think they'd be scrutinising Labour and Labour's spending. Last week, the Taxpayers' Union sent out a provocative pamphlet and an accompanying box of fudge, accusing Nicola Willis of not delivering on her election promises to rein in reckless spending, unsustainable borrowing, and the hiring of endless bureaucrats. The Union accused Willis of failing to deliver the goods and fudging it, hence the fudge that arrived with the press release. Provoked and incensed beyond reason, Nicola Willis swiped back. She said, "My message for Ruth Richardson is a very clear one: come and debate me face-to-face, come out of the shadows. I will argue toe-to-toe on the prescription that our government is following. I reject your approach, and instead of lurking in the shadows with secretly funded ads in the paper, come and debate me right here in Parliament. 'm ready anytime, anywhere, I will debate her." So you can see she was a little bit brassed off. Willis said she stood by her decisions in government and wanted Richardson to defend her legacy, having introduced the infamous Mother of All Budgets in 1991, when her government under Bolger came in and were left with, I would argue, an even worse fiscal mess than this government inherited. It's all got very personal. I don't think there's anything wrong in critiquing decisions made by government ministers, looking at how they're going, giving updates, having a reckon, especially when the ministers came in on a campaign of fixing the economy and reining in irresponsible spending, it's fair enough to say, "Okay, have you?" The Coalition Government possibly hasn't done enough, been innovative enough to suit the Taxpayers' Union agenda. They wanted more. They wanted cuts in spending, they wanted slashing of and wholesale firing of bureaucrats. That's what they wanted, but the Government's in the tricky position of having to be responsible stewards of the public purse and get re-elected. And that's a tricky one. The Taxpayers' Union doesn't have to worry about getting elected. It's a stand-alone lobby group. The Taxpayers' Union has criticised Nicola Willis for a measly 1% reduction in public servants, but as David Farrar from Kiwiblog points out, this may well be the first government in history to actually reduce the number of public servants. They're the first ones to have done it. It was never going to be easy inheriting the situation left by the previous government, and it never is. The Labour governments spend, that's what they do. But there's also nothing wrong with critiquing the performance of the government. The Taxpayers' Union shouldn't have made it so personal. Nicola Willis should have showed superhuman restraint and not lashed back. The debate is a pointless waste of time in my view. I know that we're all political tragics here and we take far more interest than the average person does and if I thought there was any merit whatsoever, and if lessons could be learned or if as a country we would benefit from having these two Finance Ministers thrashing out points of economic order, fine. I just don't see it. I think it's egos have been wounded and it is the equivalent of challenging somebody to 50 press-ups – a pointless exercise. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

"The mind is like water. When it's turbulent, it's hard to see. When it's calm, everything becomes clear." — Kobe Bryant  Kobe Bryant was definitely onto something when he spoke those words. If you're not in control of your commitments and have no idea what needs to be done next, you're going to be stressed. And stress, like turbulent water, makes it hard to see where you should be spending your time.  Links: Email Me | Twitter | Facebook | Website | Linkedin Join the Time And Life Mastery Programme here.

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.  What's the point of learning how to be more productive and to be better at managing our time? Are we not just shuffling work around—work that will need to be done at some point anyway? Well, yes and no.  Historically, people went to work, often in factories, where they performed repetitive manual labour. When their workday finished, they “downed tools”, clocked out and went home. As there were no TVs or smartphones, people often played cards or board games with their families, read books or went to the pub.  It was easy to leave work at work. It was easy to manage our time. There was personal time and work time, and the two did not mix.  Today, it's very different. Most of you listening to this podcast will likely be working in what is commonly called “knowledge work' jobs. You're not hired for your muscles. You're hired for your brain.  And this causes us a problem. Manual labour meant you did a hard day's work, and when you went home, you could forget about work. In knowledge work, it's not so easy to stop your brain from thinking about a work problem.  I remember when I worked in a law firm, I caught the bus home and often spent most of the journey thinking about an issue with a client and trying to figure out the simplest way to solve the problem. In the past, people would have looked forward to getting home to their families. When you're mentally distracted in that way, it's hard for you to switch off and enjoy that time with your family and friends.  Today, it also means there's no barrier—except our own willpower—to sending an email or a Teams message at any time of the day or night.  In the past, the factory gates were locked, or someone else was doing your job on the night shift. It wasn't possible to work beyond your regular working hours. Time management was much easier. Not so today. And that nicely leads us to this week's question. And that means it's time to hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice. This week's question comes from Michael. Michael asks, Hi Carl, I've spent years struggling with time management, and it's got to the point where I think there's no point. As hard as I try, there's always something that needs to be done, and I never get a chance to finish anything and end up with everything being urgent. Is there any point to all this time management and productivity stuff?   Hi Michael, thank you for your question.  In many respects, you might be right that managing time, or at least trying to, is a waste of time. (I think there might be a pun there)  As I alluded to, with knowledge work and the explosion of communication tools over the last few years, things that could have waited a day or two now seem to have to be dealt with immediately.  It's not that the task is suddenly urgent; it's a combination of people's expectations and the delivery system.  The problem here is that no matter how fast the delivery system becomes—or other people's expectations— we are human. We can still only do one thing at a time. That is not going to change in our lifetime.  And that's where to start—understanding that you, as an individual, can only work on one thing at a time.  In other words, if you have ten equally urgent messages to reply to, you're going to have to choose which one to respond to first.  Now, you could come up with a complex, convoluted system for deciding which message to respond to first, or you could adopt a more straightforward first-in-first-out approach. Start with the oldest and work your way through your list of messages.  What are we talking about here—perhaps a ten-minute delay for you to get to a particular message? Does ten minutes really matter? You're not trying to save someone's life in an emergency room, are you?  Messages are often more time-sensitive than emails, and I find that responding to them between work sessions works best.  For instance, if you were to protect 9:30 to 11:30 am for focused work. That's two hours where you are technically not available. Once you finish that session, check your messages and respond to any that require a response.  When I set these barriers of doing undisturbed, focused work for two hours a day, I used to panic every time my phone dinged. I felt I had to respond immediately. Of course, that was not true. It never was, and it's still not true for any of us today.  It took a few weeks to wean myself off panicking every time a message came in, but the results were fantastic. My productivity went through the roof, leading to fewer urgent tasks.  Our brains are not good at handling interruptions to the flow of work. I've seen studies showing that even a minor interruption can take you up to 18 minutes to refocus and get back to where you were before.  Think about that for a moment. Even if you were taking ten minutes to refocus and getting an average of six interruptions per day, you've lost an hour. Or to put it into a better perspective, that's 12 ½ per cent of your work day gone. Wasted. By responding to messages between work sessions, you avoid losing focus and get more work done in less time.  And it's there that you will find fewer urgent tasks to do. Because you are getting more done in less time, you will be able to stay on top of projects and other work without getting too close to the deadline.  Another area that can make us feel that managing our time is a waste of time is focusing on the number of tasks rather than the time we have available. Again, this is linked to the fragility of being human. We are affected by how much sleep we get, our mood, and our diet.  Have a bad night's sleep, then a fight with your kids over the breakfast table and a sugary doughnut as a midmorning snack, and you're not going to get a lot of work done.  You have a sleep debt, you're worked up by the argument, and that doughnut is going to give you a massive energy crash.  This is why estimating how long a task will take is challenging.  I've been writing a 1,000-word blog post every week for around ten years now. You'd think I would be able to estimate reasonably accurately how long writing 1,000 words would take after writing over 500 blog posts. Ha! No chance. Some days I can write the first draft in forty-five minutes, other days it can take me two hours.  The biggest effect on how long it will take me is sleep. If I get my seven hours, I know it'll take me less than an hour. Less than six hours, and I'm struggling to do it in two hours.  A better approach is to allocate time for doing groups of linked tasks. For example, group all your actionable emails and set aside 40 to 60 minutes at the end of the day to deal with them.  This way, it doesn't matter how many emails you have to act on; you do as many as you can in the time you have.  If you're doing this every day, you'll soon find you have no email backlogs. What amazes me is the people who try this for a few days and give up because their huge backlog of actionable emails is not getting significantly smaller. Well, of course not. If you're starting with six hundred actionable emails, it's going to take you a long time to get that under control.  What you could do is set aside a one-off period to get that backlog under control first. Then set a time each day to keep it under control.  Or make sure you have a “net-gain” with your responses. For instance, if you get 20 actionable emails in a day, respond to at least 21. That's a net gain. If you do that consistently over a few weeks, your backlog of actionable emails will reduce significantly.  You're not going to lose the holiday weight you gained in a few days. It might have only taken you a few days to gain that weight, but it's going to take you a few weeks, if not months, to lose it. (Life's tough, isn't it?)  Most of the reasons why so many people quit making necessary changes, whether in their work or personal life, are linked to the initial difficulty of change.  All change is difficult at first. You're changing. But soon that change becomes your norm, and then it becomes easy. It becomes “just what you do”.  There's a time and place for the things you want to or must do. This is where your calendar comes into play.  Scheduling time for play, rest and exercise is just as important as scheduling meetings with your clients or boss. Trouble is, we don't do that. We prioritise work over other essential things in our lives.  As Jim Rohn said, “When you work, work. When you play, play. Don't mix the two” Ask yourself, where's your boundary? If you don't have one, you're not managing time; you're allowing time to manage you.  There are many ways you can take control of your calendar.  You could, for example, limit the number of hours you spend in meetings each week. If you work a typical 40-hour week, you could set the maximum time you spend in meetings at 15 hours. That will leave you with 25 hours dedicated to doing your work tasks.  Most people I talk with have no idea how much time they are spending in meetings each week. They say “yes” to every meeting request. WOW! If you don't have control of that, you're “up the creek without a paddle”.  Managing time is about managing your calendar and doing the hard things, like saying no to additional meetings that won't help you do your work.  This is one reason why the old-fashioned paper planners were so good. Because you had to handwrite your appointments into your diary, there was no way you could double-book yourself. Sadly, that one simple feature does not exist in digital calendars.  I've seen people with four appointments all scheduled at the same time. Come on, you cannot be in two meetings at once, let alone four! You can also protect blocks of time for doing your most important work each day. It's not difficult, and with shared calendars, doing so indicates to other people that you are not available at that time.  And most important of all, you can do a short daily planning session where you look at your calendar to see where your commitments are, then curate your to-do list so that the number of tasks you have for today is realistic, given how much non-meeting time you have.  Yet none of these are tool issues. These are human decisions we need to make, and we need to be strong enough to follow through with them. Blaming our boss, colleagues, customers, or tools won't improve the situation.  Only by being strong enough to say “no, not then, how about this time”, can you ever regain control of your time and see a corresponding increase in your productivity.  So there you go, Michael. Time management and productivity systems can and do work, but they only work if you are willing to make the difficult choices that come with them.  Be consistent in trusting your calendar. Allow it to structure your day between your work and home life.  Don't allow someone else's “urgent” to become your urgent. Respond to messages appropriately, but within your time frames.  I hope that has helped, and thank you for your question. And thank you to you, too, for listening.  It just remains for me now to wish you all a very, very productive week.

For years, Alex thought one-on-one meetings were a colossal waste of time. Too much talk, not enough doing. But somewhere between running his own PR practice and leading teams at a major university, he realized he'd been missing something big.In this episode, Alex shares how his view of one-on-ones completely flipped—from pointless to powerful—and why these conversations can be the most productive, clarifying, and human hour of your week.You'll hear:How to make one-on-one meetings actually worth the timeThe difference between managing up, down, and sidewaysWhy “walk-and-talk” meetings beat sitting across a deskA smart reminder from Alex's colleague Darren about peer-to-peer check-insWhether you're leading a team, reporting to one, or just trying to keep your compass pointed in the right direction, this one's worth a listen.

DiscourseSupport the show by becoming a Patron, which means a monthly pledge that is equal to buying us a cup of coffee! That gets you access to our Discourse community, where listeners share views and tips on sports science, health and training, and the chance to become part of the Sports Science conversation!Show notesIn this Spotlight, we kick off with three doping stories in Discourse Digest. Ruth Chepngetich got a three year ban, up from two, then down from four, and keeps the marathon world record nobody believes in. We discuss why her case is so frustrating for sport. Imogen Simmonds has been cleared to compete despite an Anti Doping Rule Violation, after she convinced a panel that her positive test was the result of contamination by her partner during intimate contact. And Oier Lazkano has been provisionally suspended by the UCI for athlete biological passport (ABP) abnormalities that date back to 2022. Ross explains the biological passport principles, why a suspension based on the ABP is so rare, and why it might have taken this long to bring the case against Lazkano.In Centre Stage (42:23), two papers on metabolic costs of exercise were published last week, with contradictory findings. We first explore a paper that proposes a metabolic limit of 2.5 our basal metabolic rate, and where that study fits into our understanding of exercise and metabolism. Then we consider another paper that contradicts that understanding by refuting the idea that our bodies constrain certain metabolic functions when we exercise in the equivalent of what Ross calls 'physiological austerity'. We try to explain why these studies contradict one another, the importance of energy balance in metabolism, and why there's a bit of truth in both models on opposite sides of the issue.Our Listener Lens (1:10:12) is inspired by a question from Leon, who asks about using heat as a way to increase cardiovascular stress without overloading his legs. We discuss how heat may be beneficial even without that cardiovascular benefit, why HR may not be the best metric to judge intensity against, and how the approach might be a handy hack, but only part of the approach with a few words of caution.And Finally (1:20:52), Gareth wonders whether the sub-2 hour marathon is more impressive than the sub-11 hour 100 mile record?LinksSean Ingle's article on Nike's new shoesArticle interviewing Pontzer about the constrained modelThe Pontzer study on ultra endurance athletes and the metabolic ceilingThe study that disputes Pontzer's constrained model, arguing instead for an additive effect of exerciseA discussion on X that eventually brings two authors together to discuss the contradictory findingsA comment in Nature on the debate and an attempt to find some middle ground Hosted on Acast.

Marva Dawn writes, "To worship the Lord is— in the world's eyes— a waste of time. It is a royal waste of time, but a waste, nonetheless." We assume that wasting is a bad thing, and when it comes to everyday things like time, we'd probably be right. But in this sermon, Pastor Chris encourages us to waste time royally. And there's a big difference between a Royal Waste and a regular one. Join us for a look at what it means to be poured out like a sacrifice and engage in royal wastes of time. Note: The painting associated with this sermon is titled "Waste of Time" (detail) by Benny Kacerovsky. It is viewable on the Epiclesis podcast page but not in the iTunes app.

A Perfect Waste Of Time is back! My friend for this month is the wonderful John Donadio, and we discussed "Motivation" extensively.

Ladies and gentlemen and whoever else is listening, welcome back to the show. Today my guest is Barry Fell, LCSW, who's not only a seasoned therapist but also the author of a pretty eye-opening book called Therapy: A Life-changer, A Lifestyle, Or a Waste of Time. In it, Barry digs into the real questions a lot of us have about therapy but don't always say out loud—does it actually change your life, does it just become a routine, or can it sometimes feel like a waste of time? With over 20 years of experience in the field, Barry's seen it all, and he's not afraid to be honest about what works and what doesn't. We're going to dive into his story, his insights, and maybe challenge a few assumptions along the way.
