Do you know how to turn your time into productivity? This search for a more productive life has led to a particular miscategorization about what time management is and how it relates to productivity-- the simple truth is that it is far more than simply having a to-do list and checking this off of it.  The most productive people do not concentrate on doing more things. This is actually the opposite of being productive. If you really want to be effective, you've got to make a point of doing the right things with your time. This starts by realizing It's Your Time.  Like this?

In this powerful interview, John R. Miles and Abigail Barnes discuss Time Management and how to use this vital resource to increase your productivity in your career and your life.  It begs the question, why are we all so obsessed with productivity? It's probably because staying on task and avoiding distraction is more challenging to accomplish than your actual work in this digital age. Not to mention the feeling of having a productive day is somewhat euphoric.  New Interviews with the World's GREATEST high achievers will be posted every Tuesday with a Momentum Friday inspirational message!

According to the 2020 National Veterans Suicide Prevention Annual report, suicide rates continue to increase in the U.S. adult population. There is also a growing correlation between post-traumatic stress disorder and suicide risk. In this episode of the Passion Struck Podcast, John R. Miles interviews Charles P. Smith on the growing suicide rate among veterans, active-duty military members, and the general population. Charles served 10 years as a Marine Corps officer. Through his TedX, viewed by over 2 million, and this podcast, he is trying to bring a voice to the voiceless. We discuss how mental illness is the same if not more important as physical health, yet it is viewed completely differently. If someone's mental health isn't there, we need to talk about it. This is a subject that we need to focus on in this growing dilemma that seems to be ignored by the highest levels of the military. Charles provides shocking information that since September 11th, there have been over 115,000 veterans who have taken their lives through suicide. This number was fact check by the TedX team. The reality is that if you include active duty members, it is over 138,000 - a 20:1 ratio of suicides in the military community compared to those who lost their lives in combat.   We also discuss these statistics on why we need to focus more on suicide rates at the highest levels of the military and government. And the growing link between post-traumatic stress disorder and suicide rates.  Statistics on suicide rates It is a staggering statistic that 46,510 American adults died by suicide in 2018, compared with 31,610 in 2005. The average rose from 86.6 per day in 2005 to 124.4 in 2017 and 127.4 in 2018. That is a 47.1% increase, and the rate of suicides in veterans is 1.5x that of the general population.  Across the nation, the number of suicide deaths has been rising since the turn of the millennium.  Overall, from 2005 to 2018, the age- and sex-adjusted suicide rates among Veterans were higher and rose faster than those among non-Veteran U.S. adults. Reports: https://www.militarytimes.com/news/pentagon-congress/2020/11/12/suicide-rate-among-veterans-up-again-slightly-despite-focus-on-prevention-efforts/ https://www.mentalhealth.va.gov/docs/data-sheets/2020/2020-National-Veteran-Suicide-Prevention-Annual-Report-11-2020-508.pdf Post-traumatic stress disorder and suicide rates The National Center for PTSD 2017 report found an association between post-traumatic stress disorder and suicide. And, the association between PTSD and suicide is particularly relevant to military members and Veterans. Among US Army service members from 2001–2009, those who died by suicide were almost 13x more likely to have received a diagnosis of PTSD than all Army service members in the same time period. One study examined all suicide deaths from 1994–2006 using the Danish national healthcare and social registries and found that persons with PTSD had 5.3x the death rate from suicide than persons without PTSD. A subsequent study examined death from suicide among all persons diagnosed with PTSD in Denmark from 1995–2011 and found that after adjustment for demographics and pre-existing comorbid psychiatric diagnoses, persons with PTSD had 13x the rate of suicide than persons without PTSD. Reports: https://www.ptsd.va.gov/publications/rq_docs/V28N4.pdf https://www.verywellmind.com/ptsd-and-suicide-2797540 Quotes From Charles P. Smith "These people who take that step to take their life, they are in pain we can't understand." "When they take their life, they think that they are becoming less of a burden on others when the reality is it actually hurts the people that they love." "This is a way to give a voice to the now voiceless." "And when you look at the statistics, in particular, in the veteran community, the suicide rate is one and a half times that in the general population." ENGAGE CHARLES P. SMITH LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charles-p-smith/ Charles is a servant leader and passionate veteran’s advocate. He recently had the honor of becoming a TED Talk speaker on the topic of veteran suicide. He felt compelled to raise awareness of this serious and important issue following the death by suicide of his own executive officer in May 2019. Charles P.

What is the secret to servant leadership skills? In this Passion Struck Podcast episode, John R. Miles interviews Ron Lutz about improving your servant leadership skills. And applying it to your life. New Interviews with the World's GREATEST high achievers will be posted every Tuesday with a Momentum Friday inspirational message! In today's discussion, Ron Lutz and I will discuss some of the mutual experiences we had working together at Lowe's Home Improvement. Primarily, a joint project we worked on was the first in the company's history of applying the agile methodology to our software development projects. We discuss the keys that made this project such a success and why agile software development takes involvement not only from the software team but, even more importantly, the business team it is supporting. Ron talks about how this initiative saved the company over $400 Million and the keys that made the project such a success. We explore the importance of serving others versus serving ourselves and why becoming a servant leader is so important as we approach this all-digital future that we're entering into. Ron shares words of advice on how you be a servant leader both in your career and personal life and so much more. Enjoy!!

"For every week that we could take out of the build cycle, that was half a million dollars of incremental sales per week." "I turned around one day, and I said, Wait a minute, am I truly fulfilled? Am I actually giving all the value back to Lowe's that I feel like Lowe's deserves? Frankly, am I staying true to who I am?" "We need to know ourselves very well." "Every voice along with the continuum matters. Everyone's activity is a value add an activity; everyone should have the ability to be able to say if we did this, it would have this cause and effect."
