Everyday Systems

Dear Reinhard!

Not the least moralistic in my view. And so relevant in the modern world - at least so I have heard from people who know people that heard stories about people watching this kind of stuff...

Requires some fearlessness to talk about this topic. Thanks!

Yours, Stefan

Hi Reinhard!

This got me started. Fist weekend was great. I'll let you know in a few months how it developed.

Thanks a lot!

All the best

Stefan

Hi Reinhard! Very interesting - we like to play games in our family a lot and I always had the feeling that it also teaches something to our child. Never thought about it in this systematic way as you just did. Probably it teaches us parents as much as it teaches our child?!?! :D Reminds me of a quo...

Looking foreward

Stefan

Hi Reinhard! Thanks for the quick answer. To get the full picture: on Run Days: do you do stretching or some Push Ups / Pull Ups on top? I guess I want to know: how big is the "running time box"? :D I recently started experimenting with some PushUp Snacks during the day (e.g. once or twice during th...

Dear Reinhard! Thanks for this new episode! From my last injury I know that this approach works and is the only one that makes sense. I wish I had heard that before with all the injuries I had due to neither systematic nor moderate training... ;-) Do I understand you right - you train 6 days a week?...

Dear Reinhard! Thank you for this new episode. I listened to it twice. And one question keeps popping up: why did you decide for two glasses as the ceiling? Have you experimented with different amounts of glasses? Especially when you reduced drinking to only S-Days wasn't it tempting to then raise t...

Dear Reinhard! I really enjoyed listening to this Episode. I feel that one of the big benefits of Walking is that it synchronizes Body and Mind thus reducing stress in our fast paced time. I haven't really dug into the medical research part on this but I have read studies where they showed that walk...

Hi Reinhard! Moderate Extremism - WOW! I love that term! A concept worth exploring. And in my view this could make Everyday Systems also intriguing for some more extreme Characters: Practice extreme moderation in most areas of your life's so that you have the energy to be moderately extreme in one a...

Dear Reinhard! Thanks for your response and sorry for my late answer. I totally agree with what you write. For most of us for the biggest part of our lives this will be our approach. But still I somehow miss a third category: willingly / conciously taking up a BIG challenge. Something like: I will c...

Dear Reinhard! I absolutely agree with your hypothesis! I sometimes think of this in other words: you don't gain strength living a soft life. And especially we living in "the first world" have quite soft lives: never hungry, cold, miserable, in danger etc. No wonder we have so many week people aroun...

Congratulations - what a great introduction/summary/destillation! Sorry, Reinhard, but I can't help nagging at you: do you really want to publish the Everyday Systems Companion ONLY as an Ebook? I really think these ideas are worth being printed on real paper - I have the feeling this is much more l...

Dear Reinhard! Thanks for your reply. I'll keep that Thursday 1) and 2) idea in mind and observe. Might be a good idea. I got a name for "getting up early" I tend to come back to: "Up before the enemy". This term is from Jocko Willink, a former Navy SEAL who has written a few really good books and a...

Dear Reinhard! Thanks you very much for this podcast on the meta systems. I really enjoyed listening to it. Going WITH the "natural flow" of the calendar makes the system so "sane" and easy to follow. And the use of a timer is so simple yet such a great help: since I use the timer for my study habit...

Dear Reinhard! Thanks for this new episode. Your plans for 2024 sound promising. From time to time I like to listen to your older podcasts when I feel inspired by a certain system. So I really look forward to those new podcasts on "old systems". I guess you have enough ideas on new topics. But if I ...

Dear Reinhard! Thank you for that new episode. I like the pragmatic philosophical approach in these podcasts. I slightly disagree with your conclusion that this episode is about the limits of Everyday Systems. In the way that you don't get Enlightened or solve ALL your deep problems maybe yes. But I...

Dear Reinhard! Thank you very much for this episode and sharing details about your daily routine. This episode resonated a lot with me. I also sometimes struggle with the amount of systems I chose to commit to. I seems to me that there is a sweet spot where habits/discipline/commitments create more ...

Thank you, Reinhard. I am a big fan of clearing up my stuff (probably my German nature :lol: ). So I really enjoyed this episode. At least the first 2 principles are so simple and obvious - I will use with my daughters. And hope they like it as much as I do... :D @Amy3010: I just bought the audio bo...

Dear Reinhard, thank you very much for this very inspiring Podcast. I was wondering: when you decided to reduce drinking to the weekend did you ever think about only drinking Friday and Saturday? NOT before N-Days, not "before work the next day"? Somehow I feel this is more natural. Something like S...

Sehr gerne, Reinhard! ;-) Thank you for this very helpful episode. There is not much to add - your systematic approach to recovery is clearly one I would recommend. Not only as a doctor but also from personal experience. I suffer from a similar condition - a tennis elbow. I have had a tennis elbow 3...

Dear Reinhard!

I really enjoyed listening to this podcast. A topic that will become more relevant in the near future. Worth thinking about. Thanks for sharing!

All the best

Stefan

Dear Reinhard, thanks for your detailed answer. I really hope those questions don't annoy you! What really clicked with me was staying on a habit even with tiny amounts of time. I had so much trouble following my 45 Minute Study Habit, even only once a week. Just like a long workout: good, if it hap...

Dear Reinhard, thanks you so much for another podcast. Amazing how methodic you are in developing your systems. I always add something to my "punch cards" and then stop writing something at a certain corner without too much thought. Maybe the Librarian has found a playground here :wink: ;-) I got tw...

Dear Reinhard! Again a Podcast episode with lots of Ideas and Inspiration. Thank you! Especially hearing about Audiodidact inspired me. The Input side of Audiodidact is strong in my life. But I never made the Output side into a habit. It is true: the syncing with the iPhone Voice Recorder is a mess....

Dear Reinhard, thank you for the new Podcast. Always good to hear from you! I wanted to respond to your condition of Golfer's Elbow. In the last 10 years or so I have had 3 Tennis elbows with changing sides, the last started last October (same as you...). Although different there are many similariti...

Hi Reinhard! Thank you very much for this episode! I already listened to it twice - there is so much good advice in it. I especially like those different layers / types of learning you mentioned! Over the last years I came up with a similar systems that works for me, mostly inspired by podcasts from...

When I started the No S Diet in April 2014 I thought I would write a yearly check in every year. Until now I only written once: https://everydaysystems.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=10950 So I wanted to let you know how I am doing "on the Diet": - I have practiced the No S Diet ever since, no stop, no paus...

Hi Reinhard! having studied Medicine I can only agree with all you said - cramming is a big part of what I did... Looking forward to part two of the Study Habit! BUT: Do you use the name: Study Habit? Is there a more "comic" name - sounds so serious in comparison with your other "Habit Branding" Nam...

Dear Reinhard! Again a very useful piece of information! I follow the No S Diet since 7 years now. No Snacks and no Sweets are quite easy to follow for me, also the "No Seconds". BUT: my Plates are often a bit too big. Especially left-overs of my 2,5 years old daughter are a topic for me. I don't li...

Dear Reinhard, thanks for this wonderful Podcast. Expanding the Idea of scheduling a time to a task which works so well for shovelglove is another really helpful advice "for real life people" dealing with a job, kids and all the demands of a modern life. May I ask a question here: would you attack "...

Hi Reinhard,
I just discovered that you mention me in your discussion. Never clicked on the "discuss" button... Yes, indeed, I did enjoy this Update - Acutalle listened to it several times.
Time for another update... (and probably another yearly check-in from my side...)

Yours

Hi oolala53, thanks for your reply. Snacking in Germany is as common as it is in the US. From what I know you consume bigger portions at all, more soft drinks and more junk food, although it is on the rise in Germany as well. Concerning the total development of muscle and fat in kg the numbers are: ...

Yes, and I said I would comment on it - for those non German-speakers... ;-) 1st line is weight in kg, 2nd line is belly size in cm, 3rd line is Body Fat in %, 4th line is muscle mass in % What I found most interesting is what Reinhard also said in his Podcast #24: The No S Diet it is not a quick fi...

When I was fourteen years old I found a book about nutrition in my parents bookshelf. I loved it. And I began to read more and more about nutrition, food and health. This interest finally led me to studying medicine. All the time healthy nutrition was a favorite topic of mine. From Ayurveda and Atki...
