Christopher Walch – SDWT

Today we are talking about losing your sh*t… Yeah this is what this episode is about and I have to say, this is something that I am quite experienced in. fortunately or unfortunately I don’t know but I believe that this is a really important article. I wasn’t able to finish this article today but we are going to do this tomorrow I guess. Still I think that this article from Marc Brackett is pretty...

So Work-Life Balance again I guess. Today’s episode is going to be about the four burner theory and also just work life balance but also ways how you could trick this theory and or cheat in life to some degree…to some degree! The thing is, every  “cheat” is going to have a downside. The best example would be outsourcing your parenting time which means having a babysitter and yeah I mean is th...

Well, work-life balance. Today’s episode of the Self Development With Tactics podcast is all about work-life balance and it’s “downsides” and why we just need to sacrifice something if we want to succeed in one area of life. There is always going to be some kind of sacrifice…at least time but sometimes even health, relationships etc…unfortunately but this isn’t an easy game that’s for sure and I h...

Today we are talking about paradoxes…paradoxes that are true as Mark Manson the author of “The Subtle Art Of Not Giving A Fuck” frames it. Really interesting “facts” and statements to also think about and develop yourself. I hope there is some value for you! - This episode of the Self Development with Tactics / SDWT podcast is all about ‘20 PARADOXES THAT ARE TRUE’ an article from the markmanson.n...

So this is how Jeff Bezos thinks about success… Today’s episode of the Self Development With Tactics podcast is going to be all about Jeff Bezos, his thoughts, his companies and and also Elon Musk to some degree…so once again a pretty wide range of topics and thoughts. The things is, that I just love Bezo’s thoughts on business! Being consumer centric, doing something you are passionate about…and...

Is new gear or better gear, a diploma and whatever actually what you need to become successful? The quick answer is no….what you need (to do) is putting in the work. The thing is, a lot of people like to read and dream and think but unfortunately - really unfortunately - not a lot of people are acting and working doing something not even about the things they know or know they should be doing! It’...

How Jocko Willink is working out and what his morning routine is. Today’s episode of the self development with tactics podcast is going to be about Jocko Willink the former Navy Seal! Today he is an author, business men and also I would at least say sport fanatic! It’s just really interesting to see what the high performers are doing, how they are thinking and what they are valuing. Important to m...

Why the minority often earns the majority… Today we are talking AGAIN about James Clear’s article on the one percent rule which, as you at least will know at the end of this episode is deeeply deeeply correlated to the pareto principle or 80/20 rule. Well correlated might not be the best words but yeah. we finished up with the article and it as always was a pretty great one! Definitely worth going...

The story behind the 80/20 rule or pareto principle! Today we are talking about the story of the pareto principle or more commonly known as the 80/20 rule. The rule basically says that for example 20% of the population make up for 80% of the income…which seems to be even the case for some countries at least! It was really interesting to see how this rule got this rule and also how applicable it is...

Do you have negative thinking patterns? Today we are talking about negative thinking patterns / mental error or also called cognitive distrotions. Something that I have been taking about before I believe in the book, that was also covered to some degree in his idea.ted.com article: Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy by David Burns. I guess I was going through a summary then but I don’t really reme...

Learning everything in 20 hours? Is this possible? Today we are talking about learning everything in 20 hours. This is a concept from Josh Kaufman, an author, and he basically says that it is enough to something for at least 45 minutes each day for a month. Which in the end adds up to 20 hours…with a couple of days were you are not doing something! ;) He also provides a 4 step process for achievin...

Today we are talking about Warren Buffet and a really important (for him at least) strategy that also could have led to his enormous success! This strategy is called the “20 Slots Strategy” at least this is how James Clear named it. The fundament or basic idea of this rule is that we all have and or should have a certain amount of tries to do things. Therefore it would make sense to go all in in t...

Because this episode was recorded in 1996….or just pretty pretty early. I prerecorded it at some point of time, do not even remember that, I don’t know what is in there. However based on the title I am talking about working on something you like, going for your passion and not working on something as a job that maybe brings you a little bit more money but is crushing you soul…I know how this feels...

Because this episode was recorded in 1995… just joking but I don’t remember when I have recorded this one! Therefore I don’t know what I am exactly talking about. I had a watch (funny) at it to actually see that but I am talking about so many various things that yeah I don’t know what to right here…but it is going to be about: Microphones, How I record, Doing things nobody does so quite acting lik...

Today we are talking about candy and bars and the super market…why? Because it is correlated to habits…relatively deeply correlated even. Candy is located at the checkout line…as singular pieces. there is a reason why it is that way. We are buying the candy there..quite often! And there is yet again a reason for that. These two things are also correlated to addiction. We are addicted because of a...

Today we are talking about the art of shooting an arrow with a bow… so archery! But how is that correlated to the process being more important than the target and or “goal”. Well I have already given you a hint ..to some degree at least. Well when you focus on the process of shooting the arrow which means having the right posture (bow and yourself) holding the bow the right way and so on and so on...

Today we are talking about saving money and why we buy things we actually don’t need. Again a really good article from James Clear himself on the Diderot Effect, am effect named after mister Diderot. This effect basically says that we are buying more things once we bought something…might be something like a limit we are surpassing and once we actually do that, there is nothing that could hold or p...

Today we are finishing up with this yet again amazing article from James Clear on habits! Today’s episode is all about why visual cues or triggers as in the paperclip strategy work so well and yeah…it really makes sense why they work…it realllllly does! Especially after you have read this article and everything is explained you understand why visual habit triggers are so amazingly powerful. So man...

Today we are talking about the paper clip strategy….yeah I didn’t know this one either!…might be a pretty new one. However fact is that this strategy is pretty hand, useful and makes sense.  We talk  about the origin of this method so also the inventor..”inventor” but we also talk about methods that are quite similar but not the same! Besides that I am also talking about various other th...

Today we are talking again about Elon Musk, SpaceX and little about Tesla I guess. We also talk about the problem of colonising Marks that Seth Godin was talking about. A really great threat to be honest…just great because I didn’t think about that! We also discuss other things that I do not remember right now…my brain seems to literally be erased after every episode :). Anyway, I hope that this e...

This again is a video featuring me thinking and talking about various thoughts that I had today. These thoughts include: being happy in a negative world, short stories, looking rich, public failure, happiness in general and probably a lot more things that I have forget in the 3 minutes between recording the episode and now writing the description…amazing hahaha negative self talk is not good by th...

Today we are reading a short story! To be precise, we are talking about and reading A Clean, Well-Lighted Place” by Ernest Hemingway, a story about an old deaf man and two waiters. The old man is pretty said but he seems to have a lot of money…according to the waiter(s). He is really unhappy and the scene plays in a cafe. The cafe is “run” by the waiter but there has to be said that only one waite...

Today’s episode of the Self Development With Tactics podcast is all about some of my thoughts on internships…because I am just attending one at the time (graphic design), books, how to get free audiobooks or how to listen to free audiobooks, music and my favourite music listening platform. There are probably a bunch of other things that I was talking and or thinking about in this episode but I jus...

Today we are talking about stepping out of your comfort zone….and yeah you should be doing that…you really should be doing that. A big part of the article is about an interesting experiment on why we often choose the simple and or easy option even if there is no real reason to choose the simple option. We are feared of uncertainty! This is the point. We would rather choose the maybe worse but sure...

Today we are talking about yet another great article form James Clear on the jamesclear.com website…sounds like a freaking ad…but it’s no ad xd. Buut today’s episode is going to be about making mistakes, failure, trying out things and all of that GOOD stuff! Because failure and mistakes are not bad unless you are doing them on purpose, then something is wrong. This article also shows a really ofte...
