☕ Those who take breaks get more out of life

A brief insight into my presentation at the Upper Austrian State Police Directorate

☕ Those who take breaks get more out of life!

🤔 This is one of the many sentences from the book "The Mañana Competence" by Gunter Frank and Maja Storchthat got me thinking. Always new projects, new ideas, faster and higher. But only beginners work non-stop, professionals (e.g. in sport) take breaks. Without breaks, the results are even worse, which is called overtraining in sport.

🎙️ Not that I would always implement this flawlessly myself, but I also like to pass these quotes on to managers during my presentations. Because it shows a little that what "the" younger generations want is really worth striving for: living more mindfully with the desire that work is also worth living and loving. This includes taking breaks, being mindful of yourself (especially as a manager!), but also positive leadership, as can be implemented with PERMA-Lead, for example.

📑 As a short follow-up to my presentation on Generation Z at the management conference of the Upper Austrian Police Directorate in Linz, here is an excerpt from their magazine "Inside the Upper Austrian police".

Thank you very much, State Police Director Andreas Pilsl, BA MA and Deputy Major General Günther Humer, BA MA for the invitation, the unforgettable backdrop and the permission to share the article.

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck

A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good LifeAs the title suggests, Manson wants his book to stand out from the usual life advice books. Because these usually emphasize what you could or should achieve - higher, faster, further (see, for example, the book "How to achieve more"). Game Changers). The downside, however, is that you are made very aware of what you have not achieved so far. You haven't achieved this or that, you're not exceptional. And the usual (American?) life guides are all aimed at helping you to finally be extraordinary and achieve all your goals.

In his book, Manson shows a different path to personal success. The book is also available in German ("The subtle art of shitting on itview at Amazon), but with this book in particular it should be almost impossible to convey the "spirit" of the book correctly in German. While "to give a fuck" is ambiguous in English and the author uses the expression creatively, that alone is difficult in German. Let's see if I have succeeded.

What attitudes or habits do highly effective people have?
Insights into: "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Powerful lessons in personal change." by Stephen R. Covey. Also available in German.

Absolutely worth reading, the author guides you well through his book and cleverly forces you to think about yourself. And he focuses on the individual - whether employee or manager, friend or family member. If you have already dealt with the topics of leadership and self-organization, some things will seem familiar. However, these are often placed in a very interesting context (e.g. Eisenhower 2.0).
