Just stop for a moment and reflect what ever happened to simply taking your time welcome and good to have you with us on the show so tie in is the fire in which we burn all that light from a poem you may know from the film star trek generations you could also say time is endless but we are not and maybe that is why we feel we have to cram as much as possible into the time we have but the relentless rush comes at a price its called burnout and that may sound like just another trendy name for fatigue or exhaustion nothing a good nights sleep couldnt fix but its not that simple so do yourself a favor and take the time to watch this report. A world of high rises and high stakes until a year ago that was the world of Business Consultant i t controller mark brown he jetted around the world and what sixty to seventy hours a week he reveled in showing his ability to always shift his performance up another notch. Father i wanted to be a star and impress my boss on the company you might get a column a shoulder now and again and feel appreciated for a moment just to get it so it doesnt mean a thing it was all about pushing harder and doing more. Market to continuously increase revenue for his company and its clients the immense pressure and the fear of failure had him working round the clock he ignored signs of exhaustion till one day he literally couldnt carry on the. Game of enough noise whenever something new came up i would always say yes id stop doing Something Else and open another excel table big knew what i had to do and which area to focus on it was there but i noticed that i wasnt actually achieving anything it was to offer him if i would put aside one project and start the next one. By that point i was just sitting at my computer doing nothing. But this is a. Mark felt wrecked and just couldnt pounds back he lost interest in doing anything he was diagnosed with moderate depression the result of severe exhaustion. Dr musta oddly works at a clinic in berlin that specializes in psychosomatic disorders encounters many cases of burnout. Most suffer from mental and physical exhaustion coupled with an inability to rest and regenerate a pot they just cant recharge their batteries. Then. We. The medical profession have noticed a significant increase in cases of burnout in recent years by. That development is reflected in figures on lost productivity in germany in two thousand and six burnout accounted for twenty days off work per thousand employees a decade later that figure had rocketed to one hundred ten burnout is a condition that affects people in all walks of life with all mentioned we also know that people who fall sick due to emotional strain tend to have particularly long periods of incapacity that. And that is problematic not just for the individuals and their families but also for the economy which. According to the World Health Organization fifty million workers are lost every year to Mental Illness but cost to the Global Economy close to one trillion dollars the answer it says is large scale investment in the prevention and treatment of depression anxiety and other disorders the w. H. O. Says that every dollar committed would have a long term dividend of four dollars from improved productivity. Mark spent six months in therapy otherwise he might well have been unable to work for several years. He tried to get back into his old job but was no longer up to the pace of the rat race instead hes turned his hobby into his profession. Thats all that i know when its over.

When he gets here if that is about i dont care about money now as i was at this day because it doesnt make you happy as must have been strictly. So clearly its important to give yourself a break from time to time of course that is often easier than done you have to let go or disappear for a while sounds like magic well luckily we have enough to go to help us escape the rat race. Can you take care of this and theyre. Not. Sure i can. Conference time. Take a look at this i called you back here. This needs doing this has to be finished a. S. A. P. They all want something and now i cant read. Whats this i come back. Got up too early i only had breakfast standing as usual.

On that and this thing turn it off really off go off line get out of the office away from your colleagues gone side kind of call. Yourself three. Cents your body be present. And be grounded for a moment. Thats good you can do that anywhere. You know you say the company will collapse. No it wont but you will if you never stop. Take a break the whole day has been like this i dont know why its not my fault. No its not his fault but who is to blame well some might say the clock the first mechanical clock in europe dates back to the middle ages to a monastery of all places and so when it became our master dictating the rhythm of our lifes tick tock tick tock the cruel rule of the clock. Centuries ago and in some parts of the world to this day farm hands sometimes had extended breaks. Because people followed their natural clock. The working day was configured by the weather the seasons and our body rhythms. Control the advent of the mechanical clock it put paid to natural rhythms replacing them with a single relentless beat. Sixty seconds in one minute with a manmade clock now dictating time in Europe Christian monks are credited with inventing the first mechanical clock more than six hundred years ago so as not to miss pratt times before that theyd used candles when the we could burn down a falling metal bar the monks up. But this method of timekeeping sparked many a monastery fire meanwhile merchants in milan florence and venice were quick to spot the benefits of mechanical timekeeping it meant optimized Business Management and higher profits the american inventor and later founding father Benjamin Franklin coined the term time is money in seven hundred forty eight the clock became the heart rate of the industrial revolution. It meant exact working hours and in the banking enabled the concept of futures trading money became a time factor. But initially the time wasnt the same everywhere not even in villages a few kilometers apart train drivers and passengers had to adjust their pocket watches from station to station so functioning timetables were impossible at the same time the pace of life excel aerated as people increasingly face to race against the clock more tasks to do every hour more places to travel to and more to consume every day the internet has made everything available everywhere every second of the day or night. People may appear to have more Time Available today than ever before but many feel more rushed than ever before and. Thats why more and more people now long to return to nature when it comes to work and more for them. Into the gentle period of their own internal clock. If only we could stop the clock get back into using with nature and in a selfs well some people are actually doing that or at least theyre trying to a spot of a serious and my colleague takes you to a village far from the stressful wasteful wastes of the city. Dont get me wrong but sometimes it can be every bit too overwhelming to give a village three hours from where people are trying to live at one with nature as best they can its called the million i went to find out just how eco friendly this eco village is. The first thing you do after arriving is park your car outside the village. Is a car free zone im surprised to see there are any at all here but this is the countryside after all im just trying to reach one of the villages. But they wont pick up their landline and i cant contact them because they dont have a mobile. They dont use them here and as soon as they came into the room im supposed to switch mine off. The eco village has a population of around one hundred fifty it was founded twenty years ago. I moved here from hanover here most of the sort of you know the most was the traffic and all the advertising was plus the feeling of being hopelessly exposed to everything here were showing how its possible to live sustainably in. I mean not how does one have an enjoyable life of agony we live comfortably here but we consume far less energy than people elsewhere. To save energy and the buildings walls are insulated with bales of straw villagers generate most of their own electricity which is also used to supply hot water and theyre proud of their Carbon Dioxide emissions which are far below those in most parts of the world per capita c o two emissions and not just two point four tons per year although thats still too high if we are to prevent the earth warming up by more than two degrees celsius. One of the craziest things a single thing is composed of its all of them you know combust well lets hope they dont use a walk up. One of the things that surprised me is that it doesnt stink because its well integrated. Im that we have. But the village isnt only Energy Efficient the residents also try to grow their own food. They dont use chemical pesticides and they mainly work the land the Old Fashioned way. Is the garden here. So for those over there and its more ecological to work without machines so its the logical option and thats why its better for the soil it means less soil compaction less gasoline less dirt and smell texting until after and some of them for you in the spring and summer you feel connected to all the growth and development and the connected to life minus of the magic runs and so on them. I mean imagine thirty five degrees in the shade and im almost dying and im just filming. The crowd be assessing. And the villagers are certainly no. Although i do get the feeling that a bit of machinery would make things more efficient. I cant see any farm animals here. But they kept strictly as. A daily communal meal contains no meat because its bad for the environment and because the vegans in the village insisted. Around seventy percent of the vegetables eaten by the villagers are also grown by them and theyre aiming to further increase that figure. Its really good and its definitely one of them. In a while and instead of being thrown away the leftovers are recycled as compost the villagers who are opposed to excessive consumption are happy having a small range of foods to cover their basic needs they have a carters and bananas in the Village Store a luxury im reassured that has nothing against city supermarkets as such. When it had all the range could be smaller. Of course i really notice the abundance of products and then i have no idea what to buy or words actually in each item. The item stock by the Village Store are all organically sourced so they are more expensive than their supermarket counterparts but around the corner is a place where people give things away when they no longer need them like clothes. Most residents have jobs in the village itself as administrators carpenters or gardeners which means the money stays in the millions. But not everybody could afford to opt into the sustainable lifestyle not even people in germany joining the collective cost Twelve Thousand euros building and maintaining an eco village doesnt come cheap so the million isnt quite an acre topia its a compromise solution people flaw if people take the car people use Plastic Packaging the point is being aware of the fact that you can do more i just think that people here seem to be happy with group think their own. And figuring it out as they go as it were but he doesnt think. He or she goes so whats the biggest challenge in that village eating vegan toilet flush or having to make do with. Well thats a tough one how are you supposed to see. The way it leaving a data out there for others to process and turn into hot cash but why office the e. U. Has upped the pressure on online provide us saying its the use us who own their data your data footprint is worth money time to check out how you can profit from it. For facebook and google its easy users provide them with loads of information about themselves the Companies Use the data to trim ads to users probably interests but who owns that data in the European Union under the new general Data Protection regulation the users remain owners of their own data so shouldnt they also benefit financially if social media and internet firms make money with it the american german start of data wall that has developed technology that lets Internet Users keep their data private and helps them to earn when the data is being used. Five to ten years down the road well look back onto this as like dark ages of data where we had no control and basically anybody could claim ownership of our data and we had no way to interfere right and i think that data in the future will be one of the most important assets for people to own and will be one of the most substantial Revenue Streams for data to be able to monetize a little. While the rules in the e. U. Are now very tough in many countries d. D. Hughson ownership are still unbreakable lated data wallet which is currently in the beta phase says it lets users determine themselves who can use their data. Social Media Companies gather likes comments and status reports and use them to infer emotional states in attitude photos that people upload are another important source of data for them. Online retailers monitor Shopping Habits and infer preferences and lifestyles registered users of dating sites and online forums also reveal a lot perhaps more than they realize retailers discount cards tell the relevant parties how much money you spend. But all the data have to be processed and evaluated and thats what makes them valuable. And thats where data brokers enter the picture. They purchase big data sets and analyze them to draw up user profiles. Profiles describe individuals that fears and needs and perhaps their financial status that allows for targeted advertising tailored to our pocketbook they can describe us better than even our best friends can.

Data while it is a small start up so facebook and google probably dont yet feel threatened still its agenda should alarm the big boys. We basically allow people to take all of the data they create all over the internet over of the hundreds of different platforms that they use put it into one profile and based upon expressive consent shared with the companies who have been worth sharing his data with so if you have your you know they dont say that you can sell it to one company but you can also sell it for fifty companies. Its an interesting project helping people to assert ownership of their online data well making some money in the process.
