WOOP Goals with AI

In this engaging episode of 3 Minutes Max - Human Skills in the Age of AI, Andre Ottlik and his AI co-host Jules introduce the WOOP method, a simple yet powerful tool for setting and achieving goals both personally and professionally.

The episode begins with a fascinating insight from a study by Gail Matthews, highlighting the impact of sharing progress with others. This sets the stage for a practical exploration of the WOOP method, developed by Gabriele Oettingen, which stands for Wish, Outcome, Obstacle, and Plan.

Andre's first tip is to identify five "low-hanging fruit" goals from previously brainstormed ideas. These are goals that feel important and timely. Write them down and consider who you could share them with to boost motivation.

Next, Jules suggests leveraging AI tools like Perplexity, ChatGPT, or Gemini to help define each goal using the WOOP framework. This approach offers guided support through all four steps, helping you to formulate well-structured and achievable goals.

Remember, the visualization of outcomes is key to maintaining focus and motivation. Tune into the next episode, where Andre and Jules will discuss making each goal achievable with the 1% method.

Andre shares a key exercise inspired by Stefan Merath’s book "The Path to Successful Entrepreneurship". For 16 years, he’s been setting his goals with this method. The first tip for this week is to create a handwritten mind map on a large piece of paper.

High-Context AI Tips

Explore the nuances of High Context Communication in today's episode of "3 Minutes Max. – Human Skills in the Age of AI". Andre Ottlik and his AI partner, Jules, dive into how indirect forms of communication are shaped by context—relationships, shared experiences, and unspoken rules—which makes them challenging to grasp without shared understanding.

In a world increasingly relying on AI partners, the human capacity to understand and infer meaning through context becomes vital. Jules and Andre offer a reflective exercise to help reduce misunderstandings and stabilize communication. The first exercise is to identify people and scenarios that could benefit from a High Context approach, focusing on conveying messages through hints or implicit suggestions.

If mastering this feels daunting, enlist AI tools like ChatGPT or Gemini to help translate direct, low-context statements into nuanced High Context dialogue.

Your feedback is valuable to us! Share your thoughts using the link below. After a short autumn break, Andre and Jules will return in December to explore the new web browsers, Atlas and Comet, and the human quest for truth in the age of AI. Enjoy experimenting with High Context Communication, and we'll reconnect soon. Have a fantastic weekend!

Low-Context AI Hacks

In this episode of "3 Minutes Max – Human Skills in the Age of AI," Andre Ottlik and his AI co-host, Jules, tackle the art of low-context communication, highlighting its significance, especially when international projects begin to lose momentum. Many Western countries like the USA, Australia, and Germany are accustomed to a direct style of communication, which can help prevent misunderstandings and keep projects on track. However, this style might not come naturally to everyone, even those native to low-context countries.

Andre provides a practical exercise to hone this skill: The "Precision Cut." This task involves simplifying a detailed communication into three concise sentences. The aim is to clearly define the topic, decision or action, and responsible parties, ensuring the message remains clear and actionable.

Jules adds an AI twist to the exercise, encouraging listeners to compare their communication prowess with AI-generated brevity. This method not only enhances personal skills but also offers insights into the potential of AI in aiding effective communication.

Be sure to try these exercises and tune in again on Friday for insights into high-context communication.

Cultural Context - AI

Welcome to the Monday episode of "3 Minutes Max. – Human Skills in the Age of AI," a podcast dedicated to preparing you for the future of work alongside the AI co-host, Jules.

This week, dive into the nuances of Low and High Context Communication. Understand how different cultural contexts can lead to fewer misunderstandings, quicker agreements, and better collaboration, especially in diverse teams.

In today's episode, we explore the contrast between low-context environments where direct communication is favored, and high-context cultures where communication relies heavily on hints and relationships. For a deeper understanding, Erin Meyer's "The Culture Map" is a recommended read. Remember, while cultural profiles can guide, avoid falling into the trap of stereotyping.

Our first tip encourages you to evaluate communication styles in your next team meeting. Observe and note how directly each person conveys their message or whether they lean on storytelling or context. This can reveal a lot about your team dynamics.

Tip two incorporates AI: Utilize tools like Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, or browsers like Atlas or Comet to translate high-context messages into low-context ones, but remember, AIs have their limits in reading between the lines.

We invite you to follow "3 Minutes Max.," share the podcast, and reach out on LinkedIn. Learn about our available funding for cultural and strategy workshops, and join us again on Wednesday for a deeper dive into low-context communication.

Timeboxing with AI

In this engaging episode of "3 Minutes Max," Andre Ottlik and Jules delve into the productivity technique of timeboxing and how it can enhance your focus and quality of work in the Age of AI. Andre emphasizes that timeboxing is not scientifically proven to double productivity but highlights its benefits in reducing stress and boosting motivation. Jules adds that artificial time pressure can help you concentrate better by shielding you from distractions and promoting deep work.

The episode offers two actionable tips to incorporate timeboxing into your routine. First, Andre suggests creating a handwritten to-do list in the morning and afternoon—a simple practice that helps harness focus until noon or evening. While assigning specific time units to tasks isn't crucial, the presence of a time block enhances concentration.

For a more structured approach to meetings, Jules recommends Tip 2: develop a digital meeting protocol template. This involves creating an agenda with time boxes for each item and adding a 'Next Steps' section with deadlines. This framework naturally guides discussions, reducing digressions and ensuring clear takeaways.

Tune in to enhance your human skills in the Age of AI and discover practical insights every episode. Andre is eager to hear your feedback, so contribute your thoughts to help improve the podcast further.

Pareto's AI Time Saver

In today's episode of "3 minutes max.," Andre Ottlik explores the application of Pareto's 80/20 Principle in the workplace with his AI co-host, Jules. Discover how the majority of your results can be achieved with only a fraction of the effort. Andre shares that while striving for perfection might seem appealing, it can often lead to inefficiencies and diminished outcomes.

The podcast offers two actionable tips to help listeners apply this principle effectively:

**Tip 1** suggests gathering feedback from three colleagues on which tasks truly warrant perfection or are better left at 80% completion. Interestingly, one of these colleagues might be a perfectionist, adding a fresh perspective to your work approach.

**Tip 2** involves leveraging the power of AI tools like Gemini or ChatGPT by uploading an image of your to-do list. Let the AI challenge you on which tasks should be perfected versus those that simply need to be completed up to 80%. However, remember that team input is crucial, and AI guidance is just a tool, not an absolute directive.

In their lively exchange, Andre and Jules reinforce that prioritizing perfection should be reserved for tasks where it's truly beneficial, allowing you to save precious time and energy. Looking to delve deeper into optimizing work processes with your team? Reach out to Andre on LinkedIn.

Eisenhower's AI Focus

Welcome to another insightful episode of **3 Minutes Max. – Human Skills in the Age of AI**, where Andre Ottlik and Jules, his AI co-host, discuss innovative ways to enhance your work-life efficiency by tackling interruptions head-on.

Today's episode highlights the classic Eisenhower Diagram, a powerful tool for distinguishing between what is urgent and what is truly important. With 58 billion euros lost annually due to constant work interruptions, it's high time to reclaim your focus.

**Tip 2:** Harness AI to streamline task management. Utilize tools like Atlas or Comet to organize tasks using the Eisenhower Principle. This approach efficiently categorizes tasks, helping you focus on what truly matters without the noise.

Timeboxing Meets AI

Welcome to the Wednesday episode of "3 Minutes Max – Human Skills in the Age of AI." Today's focus is on moderation techniques, essential for leading meetings with more focus and productive contributions in the age of AI. Join Andre Ottlik and his AI co-host Jules as they delve into strategies you can implement within the next 48 hours.

The episode offers two actionable tips for improving your moderation skills. First, frame the meeting correctly. Ensure everyone is clear on the purpose, agenda, expected outcomes, and their roles. Clarify whether participants should be creative, attentive listeners, or active interrupters to stay on topic.

The second tip emphasizes the power of timeboxing. Define a specific timeframe for each agenda item and use a visible timer—whether digital or analog—to keep track. This allows you to politely redirect conversations and maintain focus. Remember, not every meeting should be only about time efficiency; including time for building rapport is equally important.

Rational Decisions, AI Boost

In this episode of "3 minutes max. – Human Skills in the Age of AI," Andre Ottlik and his AI co-host Jules explore the uniquely human challenge of making decisions. While decisions seem naturally straightforward for AI like Jules, humans often grapple with rational versus gut-based choices—a fascinating aspect given that Homo Sapiens have a relatively recent history with rational decision-making, aided by language and writing. Andre shares insights from a 2022 study in Psychological Science which suggests that consciously made, rational decisions tend to bring greater satisfaction in the long run.

This leads us to the first actionable tip: tackle a current decision by crafting a Pro and Con list and consider a solid Plan B. Whether contemplating a career move or another significant life choice, assessing risks and alternatives is crucial. The second tip takes a tech-friendly approach by encouraging you to create a mind map focused on your long-term goals.

By mapping out your ambitions across various life domains — such as Career, Health, and Finances — you gain clarity and direction that informs current decisions. Utilize tools like MindMeister and enjoy supportive AI interactions with chatbots like ChatGPT, or even engage Andre for a deeper dive through his extensive coaching experience. Get ready for a decision-making journey that combines lists, plans, and big-picture thinking. Stay tuned for Friday's episode where they'll delve into intuitive, gut-based decision strategies.
