4:30 am
denning credible looking. welcome tonight. 3 week w. . oh i'm terribly sorry sorry i'm late this is embarrassing i'm normally a very punctual person because i am german and b worked in television all my life and this business you could be too late just once do it twice and your ass so don't we all constantly feel like we are on the
4:31 am
clock it seems to be the new norm but more and more people find that increasingly stressful and maybe it's time to talk about well time it's a funny thing it control race it can fly it can heal all wounds they say everyone wants to use it wisely but what does that even mean my colleague olaf wiig assess the 1st step is simple just change your habits tic toc. and all the. i had an alarm clock that when you post. all day running like clockwork the tide time is a stern taskmaster safe time we kill time but these days everything has to be just in time.
4:32 am
you can still take as long as you like i've got all the time in the world. sight we can also make something out of our time with time it's a gift. but none since time is kind to some less so to others if i have a great time in build i'm a city where time has never stood still that. time waits for no man they say album.
4:33 am
here i always wanted to come up here used to be behind the berlin wall and i was on the other side of the red town hall and its clock the most famous and bottom is the way. everybody should stop the clock once a day it's in your hands. what do you do with your time. good question but these days you can also use technology to manage your time whether it's checking off your to do list while the rest of the world sleeps or reading a book in 15 minutes there are lots of absolutes so-called life hacks that promise to make you happier and more productive but do they work we tried out a few. too much to do too little time that's just everyday
4:34 am
life for most of us but apparently it doesn't have to be that way. i got more done i was less stressed to work with less effort and in less time be more productive and happy. really just a question of using the right apps and life facts to find out my life to the max for one week. see the point. welcome to the 5 i am club exclusive circle of high achievers who are up before 6 in the morning. see some politicians swear by the power of a morning. while the rest of the well the still asleep they make time to focus on themselves they may reads exercise one. drink a glass of lemon water take 20 grateful breaths. but
4:35 am
to be very honest at this time of day no matter what i do it just feels wrong. all week. this is. anything. but there must be something out there that can help me productivity exercise classes audio books and books. programs the self-improvement industry keeps coming up with ideas on the best way to optimize. in the u.s. alone it generates $10000000000.00 a year and is predicted growing the link is to. discover the key idea from the world's best nonfiction books no time to read a book with a blink you can supposedly finish one in just 15 minutes well of course not the entire book but at least the condensed version of the most important passages text
4:36 am
ordeal. within a week i have read 6 books all of them self-help titles which i probably wouldn't have picked up otherwise. love books i love reading and i thought this was just another way to destroy that experience and it's not something different it's a quick way to take in information it gives you a chance to get a glimpse of new ideas and if you like them you can still buy the book and. one of the books was about what's called the pommel doro technique it's simple if you focus on a specific task for 25 minutes know what sept no emails no social media and then. you get to take a 5 minute break. it works it keeps me focused it kind of puts the.
4:37 am
most important thing right now focusing on this but what works well at home doesn't necessarily work in the office from the structure and you can filter out yourself and others you just have to deal with. so am i on track to reach productivity have been how can i optimize myself even more i've decided to someone who should know beilin base productivity coach on to one last. say we have a car and we want the car to be faster how we're going to do that we're going to change the wheels probably not because the 1st thing we're going to ease upgrade the engine and it's the same with wanting to be more productive it's not about using an app or that hack about perhaps doing more sports or sleeping better at the core of it it's about training the mind to enter deeper states of awareness. and. yes there's also an app for that headspace you meditate because it's helping
4:38 am
the goal is to be more balanced more focused more productive it already has more than $30000000.00 uses. i think headspace brings those tools to a wider range of people but i think it's only the 1st step. gets distracted with bringing back so was this the most productive week of my life well i got up at 530 every day read 6 books was more focused and meditated in the evenings but tomorrow i'm definitely going to sleep in. humans have been measuring the passage of time for thousands of years the mayans greeks and egypt since used the sun water or candles but the mechanical clock is the invention that really made
4:39 am
a difference it's been key to progress instrumental to civilization but it's also a harsh taskmaster. the cruel rule of the clock. centuries ago and in some parts of the world to this day farm hands sometimes have extended breaks. because people followed their natural clock. the working day was configured by the weather the seasons and our body rhythms. until the advent of the mechanical clock put paid to natural rhythms replacing them with a single relentless beat. 60 seconds in one minute with a manmade clock now dictating time in europe christian monks are credited with inventing the monks up. but this method of timekeeping sparked many a monastery fire meanwhile merchants in milan florence and venice were quick to
4:40 am
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 748 o'clock became the heartbeat of the industrial revolution but it meant exact working hours and in the banking enabled the concept of futures trading money became a time factor. but initially the time wasn't 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 the 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 2nd of the day or night. people may appear to have more time available today than ever
4:41 am
before but many feel more rushed than ever before or. that's why more and more people now long to return to nature when it comes to work and life rhythms. and to the gentle beat of their own internal clock. well some countries are notorious for the emphasis they put on results and success of the pressure starts early south korea's education system for example is so strict that children there often have precious little time for play hobbies all their friends pressure is intense and unrelenting and failure is not an option. if you underperform in school or show that you'll struggle and the other kids look at you like you're an insect. or so i work really hard because i'd hate people to look down on me as if i were an
4:42 am
insect. that drives me to study how. it's late but lots of school children are still out on the streets of seoul. yuna kim is 13 she spends 7 hours at school and then several more at a crammer a private evening school. there are lots of them throughout south korea and they cost hundreds of dollars a month. many parents go into debt to send their children to these institutions but if they didn't their kids might fall behind. well the trial soon moved on to high school and then to university and the amount of study will increase accordingly. i'm not so good at english at the moment so i
4:43 am
need to put in at least 14 hours a day with us. here this year i won't have time though. south korea is famous for its educational system it consistently tops international rankings but the price kids pay is enormous. the pressure to perform as massive and unrelenting hanging out with friends or other leisure pursuits or for the ambitious out of the question. cereal then once to make school a more gripping and pleasurable experience with the help of virtual reality. she's developed an app that takes students on a virtual trip abroad and lets them communicate with people all over the world in
4:44 am
english to the v r a headset then corrects their use of the language her start up works with 100 schools 7000 children so far have used the app she herself had problems as a school student that's one reason she wants to improve english language teaching. by cory's to decrease their all good education and get between the weekend the poor it because i saw if i gave the great. content education the content an experience to the student at low cost even though it is very high tech when. technology is changing the way students learn around the world it's also changing what they learn . experts estimate that by 2025 more than half of all workplace tasks will be performed by machines. computers already perform better faster and more
4:45 am
reliably than humans in many respects the question is how to prepare the young for the challenges of the future work will probably look very different. unit doesn't know yet what she wants to do in the future. but what she does know is what she has to do right now. regardless of what might happen in the future the only way forward in korea is to study studying opens all the doors that's what my dad always says study. comes to logistics just in time production often means efficiency play 2nd fiddle to punctuality in germany trucks carry no freight on return trips and that's a waste of time and fuel. startup called cargo next developed
4:46 am
a tool to improve the situation by joining a virtual world of artificial intelligence with a very real world trucking. it might be hard to believe but one in 3 trucks out on the roads of germany has no freight on board in many cases after dropping off cargo drivers have nothing to pick up for the return journey that's bad for business and the environment. but hope is at hand in the shape of multi-dimensional artificial neural network intelligence or money for short money is an algorithm that works autonomously with the help of several 1000000 items of data provided by shipping companies. it learns from experience that learns to predict where the trucks will be headed and how to determine prices in advance it also learns how to combine trips. because
4:47 am
we have the technology on the one hand and real world trucks on the other. so joining the 2 is pretty complicated as. an example a fully laden truck drives from a to b. normally it would return empty. but money knows that transportation will be needed not far from the end just a couple of hours' time that enables the truck to make the return trip with cargo on board. this sector has a very traditional structure. people tend to be wary when we talk about using ai. in what way or the very skeptical about whether it works whether it's reliable whether you can trust it. another potential hurdle to use money companies have to access a website operated by carbon x. customers and to the specifics of it decide transport request online and money determines the most suitable option for
4:48 am
a fee the system determines what the trucking firm earns based on past rates. so how does this artificial intelligence manage in the real world this trucking company in humbard started using money a few months ago it has trucks on the road all over europe. so those car will next thanks to cargo next we've been able to reduce our empty runs to 15 percent. and can he live with the prices. is mind very well it's not like we're getting overpaid that's for sure. take up the price is pretty close some firms will benefit others not so much for the market but it's worth it for us. $6000.00 freight companies have already signed up with the system finding it to be effective however could make
4:49 am
them dependent on money given cargo next free reign to become the uber of the logistics sector. and the kind of the end of the course where you don't want to see a monopoly but demand is so high that everyone can work it out for themselves machine or be deterred and straight forward is can decide for themselves how much business they do with us if there are no contractual obligations each trip is negotiated from scratch. so it's up to each company how they use it. more uses the money means fewer empty trips and hopefully less traffic a system with the potential to revolutionize the freight hauling sector. in the small town where i grew up a bell in the tower whole rang every half an hour you always knew what time it was more than any other trades making bells is connected to time keeping but nowadays only a handful of foundries in europe are keeping the tradition alive. it's
4:50 am
a centuries old tradition that has stood the test of time. but how long does it actually take to make a bell. there are only a few bell makers left in germany. one of them is the butter bell foundry in the southwest of the country. the core of bricks covered in clay creates the shape of the inside of the bell the size and shape determine its pitch and sound quality. then the form of the bell is modeled in clay around that call but separate from it . then
4:51 am
embellishments or inscriptions are added. the clay model of the bell is lifted off the brick core and a mold is made of the models in our side. then another one is made of its outside the original model is no longer needed the gap between the larger and the smaller molds is the space into which the molten bronze is poured to create the actual bell. that makes between $40.60 bells a year. and is the son of the owner that is in and from and that it's an illness and the entire process is based on tradition and read from designing the cord to the molding and casting. however long the staff have been with us the level of tension and excitement remains the same with each bells. the preparations take
4:52 am
almost 3 months now it's time. time for the casting. they turn the oven on the evening before. 7 bells are being cast the modes are down in the pit covered with earth. representatives of the 7 churches that have commissioned new bells are waiting with bated breath. to what says churches are his most important customers a bell can cost anything between 210-0000 euros. giving in may the casting be successful and may their congregations receive wonderful bells that will ring out your prey's. are you sure you'll get a bell. quite sure so we've certainly already paid quite a bit for it. the bell metal is about ready for pouring. it's a special kind of bronze made up of 78 percent copper and 22 percent in. the
4:53 am
metals are stirred with a long wooden pole at a temperature of a 1000 degrees celcius. for this casting 6000 kilograms of bronze will be used the metal alone costs about 60000 euros. for a final check before the casting begins. and for the casting they have to don protective clothing. for nicole i ve learned that it's a special moment. the priests and pastors of the 7 communities give their blessings. in my that's new haven called once again i'd like to welcome all of you to today's casting. but hurt is in charge of the process and calls out instructions there's only
4:54 am
a half hour window for the casting. the channel is open for the bronze to flow. and that flow mustn't be interrupted otherwise the bells will be floored. she both. the brands now fills the molds buried in the pit. of your poison if. you had reached a new 37 a half hour window is very important and any mistake in the casting would come back to haunt us so everything has to be just right but as you can see we have a great team and it's all going perfectly with when the ball. 2 weeks later the
4:55 am
bells have cooled and it's time to clean and polish them. this one weighs 580 kilograms it cost 10000 euro's and it's for a church in eastern germany. any irregularities are removed finally after 3 months the bell will look and sound the glorious. organ so it would obviously now have the nicest job because i'm the last person in the jane and it's. a very sick joke and when i say it's done on the outside everyone's happy because it looks so nice. thanks for spending time with us today i hope you feel it was time well spent that's it for me and the team time to go. to.
