    Quick Win: The science of a 5-minute workout, with CAROL CEO Ulrich Dempfle

    Quick Win: The science of a 5-minute workout, with CAROL CEO Ulrich Dempfle

    When you hear how short Ulrich Dempfle’s workouts are, you might think he’s not doing enough… Ulrich is the co-founder and CEO of CAROL, a company that makes AI-powered exercise bikes designed to make you as fit as possible in as little time as possible. And when they say as little time as possible, they’re not joking - their workouts are less than nine minutes long!
    And somehow, in just five minutes a day, a few days a week, Ulrich has seen his cardiovascular fitness skyrocket him from the 50th percentile for his age, to the top 5 percent. He knows what you’re thinking, too - it sounds too good to be true. 
    That is, until you hear the science behind it. 
    Ulrich goes deep on the science behind “reduced exertion high intensity interval” training, or REHIT, and how it aligns with what we already know about exercise science.

    Quick Win: How to dumb down your phone with Ryan Shelton

    Quick Win: How to dumb down your phone with Ryan Shelton

    When Ryan Shelton traded in his iPhone for a flip-phone with no internet connectivity, he took to calling it his SmugPhone, because he felt so smug watching the rest of us stare down at our little pocket computers all day every day.  He was smug for other reasons, too: the new level of silence allowed for more clarity of thinking, and he quickly noticed he was having more creative ideas more often. He also began to appreciate his in-person interactions more now that he wasn’t entertained by podcasts, music, movies and social media at every moment of the day.  So why did the comedian and podcast host go back to the iPhone in the end?  Ryan shares why he’s no longer using his flip-phone, and explains how he modified his iPhone to give him the same benefits without the drawbacks.  Connect with Ryan on Instagram or listen to The Imperfects podcastYou can find the full interview here: https://amantha.com/podcasts/what-comedian-and-podcast-host-ryan-shelton-learned-after-ditching-his-smartphone/ My new book The Health Habit is out now.

Productivity hack central!

What a show, I absolutely enjoy every episode but what I really love are the ‘best of’ recap episodes that narrow in on the top tips from each presenter on how to get more out of each day!
I have this podcast on regular rotation!!

What a find!

I’m in the New Year mode and know I am dogged by distractions! I enjoyed the Nir Eyal interview. The habit of schedules is a good new habit ... most enlightening is that it’s not around work but related to my values. I have hated this idea but now can see it working in relationships, me and my work.
