One minute manager is a book written by Ken Blanchard and Spencer Johnson. It is one of the few books that have stood the test of time. Part of the reason might be that it shows 3 really simple rules for effective management. There is no "complicated" words and nothing too fancy. Just technique proven with time.

Introduction

The first idea is that there should be a clear goal that could be explained and understood in one minute. Working without a clear goal in mind is like playing bowling, without knowing that the target is to clear the kegels. You just roll the ball and don't know what to expect. Is hitting the kegels a good or a bad thing? It is the same in work, if you can't set a clear goal for your employees, you can't expect them to be successful at what they do. And the blame is not theirs.

One minute goal setting

The second idea is one minute praise. Most people only point out the mistakes, but never really give praise for a job well done. They expect that the job should be well done by default and this requires no need for further discussions. But as humans, no matter how complicated we think we are, we still operate on some primitive principles. Think of when you train your puppy to do tricks, you first show him the trick and upon successful copying of the trick - you reward him with a 'treat'. In other words, you give him 'one minute praise', which in turn motivates him even more to do good job.

One minute praise

Nothing is always perfect. People make mistakes, but they should not be ignored. If ignored, only more will follow. Hence, here comes the one minute reprimand. You point out the mistake. The more specific you are - the better. The focus here should not be to attack the person behind the mistake or his abilities, but centre on the situation. Then, this is followed by a short silence, so the employee can reflect. After which, you pat him on the shoulder (showing him how valuable he is to you) and point out that he is capable of much more.

One minute reprimand

The 3 main ideas showed in the book are:<ol><li class="ql-align-justify">One minute goal setting.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">One minute praise.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">One minute reprimand.</li></ol>

Make Yourself Uncomfortable… Slowly

The one thing I learned from my research was that willpower on command is a lie. Saying to yourself that you are not going to eat that cookie just simply doesn’t work.Willpower is actually a muscle. And by being uncomfortable slowly, you are training your willpower muscle to grow.Willpower is highest in the morning and lowest in the afternoon. Do your willpower draining task as the first thing in the day.

Willpower Is NOT On COMMAND

Since willpower is a muscle, rest your willpower muscle with a healthy activity such as socializing with friends or family members or sleeping.Overeating can destroy your willpower. The antidote is to fast, especially do an Islamic Fast which means to stay away from all kinds of pleasure ( food, water, intimacy, music etc ) from sunrise to sunset.📚If this article helped you, then you should definitely subscribe to <a href="https://binsletter.beehiiv.com/subscribe">my free weekly newsletter here</a> to receive more clarity and grow 💪

If something was guaranteed to you, would you worry about it? No, you wouldn’t. So when Allah says,“There is no moving creature on earth but that its sustenance lies with Allah” — Quran 11:6Why do you then worry about money? If money were to sustain humans, then no billionaire would die and no poor would live.Don’t choose that career because it has high-paying jobs. Choose what really interests you and makes you happy.

Why Worry?

Yes, it’s true that you have to do something in order to earn some money. Why not do something you love and get what you deserve?Why would you do something that you don’t like and try to earn what you don’t deserve?<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Write down what you want to do</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Learn about it</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Obsess over it</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Achieve Mastery</li></ul>

Earn while doing what you love

Stop trying to justify your reason to earn money as gaining "freedom". Let me ask you this. If I take away all of the money from you, would you have freedom? Freedom can never be taken. You have a really wrong definition of it.

Stop worrying about money

Permaculture is a conscious design method that seeks to create sustainable and self-sufficient human habitats by imitating the patterns and relationships found in natural ecosystems. It is a holistic approach that integrates human activity with the natural environment in a mutually beneficial way, promoting biodiversity, resource efficiency, and ecological resilience

Permaculture

Just like any new skillset, learning to be an 
ecological designer takes time, commitment, and a willingness to let people teach you things.

1Become a Student

No matter where you live, find a way to grow 
any amount of food. Herbs on the windowsill, potatoes in the community garden down the road; anywhere is better than nowhere, and better spots will open up once you start connecting with the plants.

2. Grow Something

If you can find opportunities to build compost, spread mulch, and plant cover crops, prioritize it. If you don't have access to land, make a tiny worm bin and use the castings in your house plants. Whatever situation you're in now, these skills will always be important, so make a point to go out and do soil building activities wherever you can, and learn about the life in the soil and how you can help it to thrive.

3. Build Soil

Every ecological system is in a relationship with water, and so are you. Start practicing ways to catch, clean, conserve, direct, and protect water, in your home and garden and also in your larger bioregion.

4.Focus on the Water

Make time every day to look deeply
 into your surroundings, and learn to recognize patterns and relationships between the living systems around you. See the world through the eyes of other species, and empathize.

5.Observe Patterns in Nature

Make notes about the patterns you see. Keep a garden journal. Write stories about your experiences. Document species and varieties and anomalies. Make charts and lists and mindmaps. Do all of the above or just a few, but the more you write, the more you will learn, and the better you will be able to share what you learn with others.

6. Make notes about the patterns you see.

Harvest comes in many forms, including
 feedback from the humans and other species in your system. Feedback, of both positive and negative types, is a designer's most valuable tool. Tune in, capture the data, get your ego out of the way, and constantly adjust your strategies and perspectives,based on what you learn from feedback.

7. Fall in Love with Feedback

Though the problems of the world are increasingly complex, the solutions remain embarrassingly simple.

7 Easy Ways to get Started with Permaculture

Things that our mind can process easily will make us overconfident.When we see someone does hard thing effortlessly, we often think we can do it too.When we see a final product that looks perfectly normal, we think the process leading to that is also easy and smooth.When we see a great book that is easy to read, we think it’s also easy to write it, while the opposite is true.

The Fluency Effect

We are frequently overconfident about the extent of our knowledge—we think we know more than we really do.

We have a tendency to confirm what we already believe.Because of this, we only focus on finding confirming evidences, even though seeking evidences that will say otherwise is equally important.This is dangerous for us, especially if what we believe is not a factual truth.If we’re looking for truth, we must look for disconfirming evidence even though it makes us uncomfortable.

Confirmation Bias

“Confirming data is necessary but not sufficient, because you also need to disconfirm your hypothesis.”

We often underestimate time and effort required to complete a task. That’s why we miss deadlines, exceed our budget, or run out of energy before we finish.To overcome this, we need to come up with specific and detailed plan. We need to divide the task into smaller ones that we can estimate more accurately.

Planning Fallacy

“The perceived fluency of an impending task makes us underestimate the difficulty of executing”

There are multiple cues that people use to infer causality of an event:<ul><li>Similarity</li><li>Sufficiency</li><li>Necessity</li><li>Abnormality</li><li>Recency</li><li>Controllability</li></ul>

Causal Attribution

“One of the most important functions of causal reasoning is to control future events. We want to avoid mishaps and repeat good outcomes by identifying the reasons each happened.”

We often feel anecdotes from people we know more persuasive than scientific evidence. This is because we don’t understand statistics well.3 key concepts we must always remember:<ol><li>Law of Large Number (more data in a sample, more accurate conclusion)</li><li>Regression Toward the Mean (extreme result will be followed by moderate ones)</li><li>Bayes’ Theorem (just because probability of A given that B occurs is high, it doesn’t mean that probability of B given A occurs is also high)</li></ol>

Key Concepts in Statistics

“The more observations we make, the more accurately we can generalize the pattern to cases we have not yet observed or make predictions about the future.”

People weigh negative information more than positive information. According to revolutionary work by Kahneman and Tvetsky, we treat the same monetary values differently, depending on whether they are gains or losses. This is called loss aversion.We have this bias because our ancestors were living on the line, small error can cost them their life. So it’s better to play safe.

Negativity Bias

“Our preferences and choices are based on how the options are framed rather than the options per se.”

When we see or experience new things, our existing belief and knowledge will color our judgment and interpretation about it. This is how our cognition works.This top down processing happens automatically and spontaneously, whether we want it or not. To overcome this, we need external help to review our perspective and change it into a more healthier view of the world.

Biased Interpretation

“Sometimes, it’s easier and better to focus on solving the problems caused by different perspectives than trying to change those perspectives themselves.”

When we perceive something, we interpret it based on what we already know.We believe that everybody else, including people who don’t posses what we know, would see the situation similarly that we do.This is a common cause of communication problem.We need to put ourselves in everybody else’s shoes and take their perspective to be better at communication. We also need to ask questions more.

Curse of Knowledge

“Often our communication failures occur simply because we neglect to consider the other person’s perspective.”

An ability to delay short term rewards to prioritize long term outcomes is a positive trait and it highly correlates with success in the long run.However, it’s also important for us to enjoy the process, not just the final goal. This will increase our probability to avoid physical and mental health issues at our young age.

Problem of Delayed Gratification

“The decisions we make for ourselves should be as impartial as possible and based on statistical principles and probability theories, because they provide the most accurate predictions”

This book is based on a popular course in Yale University and is written by the professor.

“An INVALUABLE RESOURCE to anyone who wants to think better.” —Gretchen Rubin Award-winning YALE PROFESSOR Woo-kyoung Ahn delivers “A MUST-READ—a smart and compellingly readable guide to cutting-edge research into how people think.” (Paul Bloom) “A FUN exploration.” —Dax Shepard Psychologist Woo-kyoung Ahn devised a course at Yale called “Thinking” to help students examine the biases that cause so many problems in their daily lives. It quickly became one of the university’s most popular courses. Now, for the first time, Ahn presents key insights from her years of teaching and research in a book for everyone. She shows how “thinking problems” stand behind a wide range of challenges, from common, self-inflicted daily aggravations to our most pressing societal issues and inequities. Throughout, Ahn draws on decades of research from other cognitive psychologists, as well as from her own groundbreaking studies. And she presents it all in a compellingly readable style that uses fun examples from pop culture, anecdotes from her own life, and illuminating stories from history and the headlines. Thinking 101 is a book that goes far beyond other books on thinking, showing how we can improve not just our own daily lives through better awareness of our biases but also the lives of everyone around us. It is, quite simply, required reading for everyone who wants to think—and live—better.

Thinking 101

Argues that the mind is an independently existing substance - the mental does not have extension in space, and the material cannot think. This is the type of Dualism most famously defended by Descartes, and it is compatible with most theologies which claim that immortal souls occupy an independent "realm" of existence distinct from that of the physical world.

Substance Dualism (or Cartesian Dualism)

sserts that mental events are causally inert (i.e. have no physical consequences). Physical events can cause other physical events, and physical events can cause mental events, but mental events cannot cause anything, since they are just causally inert by-products of physical events which occur in the brain (i.e. epiphenomena) of the physical world. This doctrine was first formulated by Thomas Henry Huxley in the 19th Century, although based on Thomas Hobbes' much earlier Materialism theories.

Epiphenomenalism

Argues that more than one predicate (how we describe the subject of a proposition) is required to make sense of the world, and that the psychological experiences we go through cannot be redescribed in terms of (or reduced to) physical predicates of natural languages.

3 Dualist schools of thought

Knowledge is the awareness and understanding of particular aspects of reality. It is the clear, lucid information gained through the process of reason applied to reality. The traditional approach is that knowledge requires three necessary and sufficient conditions, so that knowledge can then be defined as "justified true belief".

Knowledge

The property of sentences, assertions, beliefs, thoughts, or propositions that are said, in ordinary discourse, to agree with the facts or to state what is the case.false propositions cannot be known - for something to count as knowledge, it must actually be true. As Aristotle famously (but rather confusingly) expressed it: "To say of something which is that it is not, or to say of something which is not that it is, is false. However, to say of something which is that it is, or of something which is not that it is not, is true."

Truth

A subjective attitude that a proposition is true or a state of affairs is the case. One cannot know something that one doesn't even believe in, the statement "I know x, but I don't believe that x is true" is contradictory.

Beliefs

is the right standing of a person’s beliefs with respect to knowledge, though there is some disagreement about what that means precisely. Some argue that right standing refers to whether the beliefs are more likely to be true. Others argue that it refers to whether they are more likely to be knowledge. Still others argue that it refers to whether those beliefs were formed or are held in a responsible or virtuous manner.

What is Knowledge

We used to think our brains were set in stone – you got what you were born with. But science turned that idea on its head! Neuroplasticity means our brains can change, learn, and adapt throughout our lives. Now, artificial intelligence (AI) is getting in on the action, raising some big questions.

Can AI Retrain Your Brain? The Potential and Limits of Tech

Personalized Help: AI can look at brain scans and tons of data to figure out where exactly someone is struggling. Imagine custom-made therapy for things like stroke recovery, learning difficulties, or even unhelpful thought patterns.Smarter Learning: AI could make education a lot less frustrating! Systems that adjust to how you learn, making things easier or harder when needed. Think of it like a super-smart tutor that knows exactly how to help you.Decoding Brain Signals: For people with disabilities, AI can help translate their brain signals into actions, like moving a robotic arm.

How AI Could Help Reshape Your Brain

AI Isn't Magic: True self-improvement still takes work. AI can create better conditions for change, but you still need to drive it.Humans Matter: Therapists, teachers, and those personal connections are still vital. AI should be a powerful tool, not a replacement.Thinking About Fairness: We need to make sure everyone can benefit from this tech and that it's used for good, not to control or manipulate people.

Things to Keep in Mind

It's about using new tools to help ourselves, not letting the tools take over.

The Future: Smart Tech, Smart Choices

For centuries, our understanding of the brain leaned towards a deterministic model — a fixed structure with limited ability to evolve beyond a certain stage. Neuroplasticity shattered this view, revealing the brain's remarkable capacity to rewire itself, form new connections, and continue learning throughout life. Artificial intelligence increasingly enters this landscape, potentially amplifying neuroplastic processes,…
