So the key perhaps, I don't know if failings is quite the right word, but the key gaps if we're thinking about the properties that are appropriate for measuring chronic poverty, it's either thinking about discontinuities in the ordering embodied by those measures or measures that i gynnwys yw'r gwybrel yma ychydig.

First of all, I characterise a general class of measures then I choose a function within that class that captures the properties the time after that I think are critical for measuring chronic poverty. Then, finally I apply that to data from Moorilya Theopia and have a look at comparison of chronic poverty in different villages. Ac wnaeth gael y cyfnodau'r gwahoddau cyfnodau yn gweithio'r Llan-Jelann yn y methu yn benedig. Mae hynny'n gweithio'r hynny'n gweithio a'r hynny'n gweithio'r gweithio'r cyfnodau.

First of all, I'll go as quickly as I can through the kind of quite analytical, characterising the general form of poverty measures that are appropriate when we're aggregating information about individuals over time and aggregating over individuals as well. So just quickly defining some notation here, I'll just go through this very quickly. It's very, very standard, pretty much shared by all of the papers in this literature. So I'm assuming that I've got an indicator of well-being for each individual eye in each time period T, and for now I'm going to assume that that's kind of a real valued indicator. It's not really a real value, it's kind of some real number multiplied by some unit of measurement, and that's, I'm assuming, I don't want to get too much into the debate about what does cardinality mean in this context and so on. Think of it as a cardinally measurable indicator of well-being, if you like. So I've got a variable population size, and I've got a fixed number of discrete time periods, and this is very important. I'm assuming that the indicator of well-being that I have for each individual is comparable across different individuals, and it's comparable across time periods. So perhaps if I'm using household survey data, then I'd want to be looking at a per adult equivalent, and I'd be wanting to deflate over time if it's income or consumption in order to ensure that comparability. And so putting together all the possible profiles of individuals' well-beings at different points in time, I get this big domain, which is going to be the domain of the functions that have my poverty measures. And so what we're really thinking about is a poverty measure, it's a function that acts on a matrix of well-beings for different individuals at different periods in time. So each of the rows in this matrix represents one individual, and if you look at the different numbers going across that row, that's the trajectory of well-beings that that person experiences over time. And when I say well-being, that's kind of shorthand for some measurable indicator of well-being, and I don't really want to go too much into the philosophy of what that means at all. You'll see later on that I might use a consumption expenditure measure. So I'm interested in intertempo poverty measures when I'm basically summarising all of the information in that matrix into one real number that tells me how much poverty or how much chronic poverty is experienced by that group of people whose information is in that matrix there. OK, so just to kind of create a framework and restrict the class of measures because at the moment the measures could be any function at all, I want to introduce a couple of fundamental ethical principles. So these should be familiar if you know any kind of social welfare measurement or poverty measurement. So first of all anonymity or symmetry, I'm treating each individual in exactly the same way. And also what Foster has called subgroup consistency, which as many of you will know links very closely to the idea of separability across different population subgroups and is going to give us a nice consistent measure as we divide up into different groups of the population. And then I'll also introduce another perhaps not quite so fundamental property, the population size neutrality, which is basically equivalent to replication invariance. And what I'm saying there is that the total population size does not intrinsically matter. Now that's actually something a completely different set of issues that I don't want to explore here. We're thinking about kind of the value of life and death and what if you are so poor you do not survive. So those are really, really, really important issues, which I'm just completely ignoring for now and maybe that's further work to explore those better. So what about anonymity? Well in these two societies here we have the same number of people and we've kind of rearranged the characteristics or in this case the trajectories of well-beings experienced by those people, the different people. So you see we had two red trajectories there and two red trajectories there, one blue, one blue, two green, two green. So it's different people but they're experiencing the same trajectories of well-being. And so the basic idea is that the poverty in this society is going to be exactly the same as poverty in that society. So hopefully there are no objections to that, although perhaps it's not quite as innocuous as it seems because if I really do impose that assumption, I'm saying that the information that I have in this individual per period well-being measure actually kind of contains all of the information that's relevant to thinking about the well-beings of those people so far as I'm measuring chronic poverty. OK, so if I have information on many dimensions and so on and so forth I'd actually need to include all of that and even environmental kind of contextual kind of information. I'd need to include all of that into these individual per period measures. Subgroup consistency, I don't want to spend long on this hopefully but just the idea there is basically so if there is less poverty in society Y compared to society Z, and then I change in some kind of subgroup of that society, can you see at the top, I've changed the pattern? Well I'm saying now that there is still going to be less in Y than Z and can you see that underneath the line, I haven't changed at all what's going on. So we've got consistency if I do totally in the other way round, sorry, I was just looking, you can see these diagrams especially, I've been looking at these diagrams in two lines. OK, so what's my saying, there's less poverty in Y than Z, so can you see if we compare the two societies above the line they're identical but you see that the characteristics are different in Y and Z. So if there's less in Y than Z here, there's also less in Y than Z here and can you see we're comparing exactly the two things there but we've changed for both of those societies what's above the line. And that's still the case even if we don't just change the kind of the pattern of characteristics for the people above the line, we can even change the number of characteristics. So basically I'm saying that when I compare these people to these people, what's going on in the rest of the society so long as it stays the same in the two that I'm comparing, I'll have a consistent comparison of poverty there. I don't want to explore that any further right now, there are interesting questions associated here but basically this probably makes sense if we're thinking about a kind of absolute measure of poverty, less so if we're thinking about a relative measure of poverty. So let's continue to think about an absolute measure of poverty, that's pretty fundamental and then population size neutrality, well simply if I increase the size of population but don't change anything else then I'll evaluate the two societies as having the same amount of poverty. So very similar to the idea of replication invariance and probably essentially equivalent to each other. Okay so putting all those together I know that my poverty measure is going to have to have this functional form that we've got here and so what am I doing? Well first of all I'm taking this function small p, it's a function of the trajectory of wellbeing for an individual and then I might want to do some transformation of just kind of arbitrarily decompose the function into two parts there and then I'm taking the arithmetic average over individuals and then I might well want to do another transformation. The two transformations are both strictly increasing so they're ordered preserving and at the moment this p function can be anything I would like it to be. I'll obviously restrict that quite a lot more in a second. So same function there again, so this p function is a function of the trajectory of wellbeing for one individual and so represents an ordering of the space of possible trajectories of wellbeing. And so those fundamental principles that I introduced a moment ago basically mean that my poverty measure has to induce an unambiguous ordering of the set of possible trajectories and that's really useful because now I can continue and think about what does that ordering look like in order to be appropriate for chronic poverty measurement. I'm just going to take a quick detour before I do that. Oh yes, it's not really restricted at the moment but it needs to be an ordering that's representable by a real function but that doesn't cause us too many problems at all. So if you just look at the structure of what's going on here, first of all we're aggregating over time for each individual. We might then do an order preserving transformation. We're then taking that average in order to aggregate over society and again we might do another order preserving transformation. So before thinking a bit more detail what do we want for this little p? Let's sort out the G and the F and now we can kind of have a useful trick here. I'll go very quickly through this because you can read the paper if you want more details. But the idea is basically if we restrict attention just to trajectories in which every individual experiences the same constant level of wellbeing. Different individuals might have different levels of wellbeing but each individual is just experiencing constant wellbeing. Then this looks an awful lot like static unidimensional poverty measurement and that problem has been solved. We have a literature ready to use there so we can kind of exploit that analogy. So introduce standard properties that we know from the static poverty measurement literature. Now we're just looking at those profiles that consist of trajectories of constant well-beings. So that's just kind of analogies of those standard properties that we know from the static literature. And I'll add another technical property in there that I don't want to worry about too much but basically will mean that I can do a useful trick in a second. And what can I say? Well I can actually, it looks a bit more complicated but I can tie down the form of my measure quite a lot more. So this is really, really quite general. Let's choose something a little bit more specific. So the thing to point, the thing to imagine, we've still got the same function P here and then we're saying that each of these trajectories we can find a constant wellbeing equivalent for that trajectory kind of given the ordering there. So we don't need to worry about the whole trajectory, we just need to worry about the constant wellbeing equivalent. So those are the C's in there and this looks like a static poverty measurement problem. And so we can read the literature on that and like is pretty standard in the applied academic literature now, we could choose the poverty gap squared measure, foster growth or better. So let's stick with that poverty gap squared in order to do the social aggregation and that means that the measures we'll come up with will be directly comparable to other poverty measures that are based on this poverty gap squared thing. So now all we need to worry about is how are we aggregating over time. Okay so that's in four minutes what I needed to cover. The first thing to think about is I've imposed the poverty gap squared form of the measure and so now I've still got, it's still a very large class of measures, a very large family of measures that are available to me but they all look like that. So that's the variable thing in there, it's the form of that little p function in there. Now all of the measures in this class will give you exactly the same value of poverty, the profiles in which everybody's experiencing these constant levels of wellbeing. And it makes sense if everyone's just having constant not fluctuating levels of wellbeing, it makes sense to think that poverty in that context is entirely chronic. So then this gives us a really nice way to decompose. We can say that if we have a measure of total intertemporal poverty we can just take the difference between the total measure and the chronic measure and that gives us a decomposition into chronic and transient components. That makes a lot of sense because all of these measures completely coincide. We didn't need to use the poverty gap squared form, we could have used another sensible static poverty measure and done exactly the same thing but for now we're using poverty gap squared. So what do we need to do? We still need to determine the form of the little peak. What can we do here? So just quickly have a look at how Jalon and Rivalion did that. For the form of the little p they basically looked at poverty gap squared. They just looked at average levels of wellbeing. So you might have a fluctuating trajectory and they just averaged out of those fluctuations. That maybe doesn't really fit with the concept of franicity. So let's think a bit more about the properties that we want to represent franicity. For monitonicity first of all if a poor person has a reduction in wellbeing in any period we want their poverty to increase. That's straightforward, all the measures in literature share that. What about continuity? Well I would argue even though this is not shared by many of the measures proposed in the literature I would argue that if you don't have a continuous measure you can get some really perverse orderings of trajectories that don't fit with our kind of intuitive notions of which trajectory is more poor or less poor than the other. Now I want to impose an assumption of continuity here. So some of the measures in the literature are definitely not continuous. What about something really specific to chronicity, the idea of chronicity? We want our measure to be duration sensitive. So the longer someone spends under the poverty line the more poor they are. So again some of the measures proposed have that property and some do not. And then something a little bit more subtle but which maybe also makes a lot of sense if we think about chronicity as kind of persistence. That periods under the poverty line or further under the poverty line have a bigger effect, a bigger negative effect if they're closer together than if they're further apart. So again some of the measures in the literature have that property but not others. And the thing is that none of these measures combines all four of these critical properties. So we have a project which in two minutes we will complete. So some of the measures may be because they're not duration sensitive or they don't have the contiguous property. They might be more appropriate for measuring the total amount of poverty over time rather than chronic poverty per se. So now I want to construct a measure that combines the appropriate properties and I'll pull it out of a hat and here it is. It's a bit of a mess and this is where I'm still working to try and characterise a general class and messing about with different functional forms that might look a bit more elegant than this. Anyway, let's just have a quick think about what's going on here. What we're doing is taking a kind of geometric averaging over, not quite geometric averaging, over kind of subsets of the entire period and then going over the whole period. So I assert that that satisfies my properties and I'll just show you quickly some isoquance of taking slices through that function to get some idea of what's going on and you'll see that there's an asymmetry in here so I'm thinking imagine here three time periods, one, two and three isoquance with X1 and X2 and I'm slicing through at different values of X3. So this is where X3 is equal to zero. We've got really, really kind of low wellbeing in the third period and then the second and then kind of less low and then finally less low and if I have one minute left I can quickly show you some numbers applying this to data from the Ethiopian Rural Household Survey and looking at different villages or different peasant associations within that survey and I think there might be people in here that know a lot more about this data than I do. So I'm following Dirklaun Krishnan and Porter. May I take 20 seconds? Thank you. So I'm following, there's been an awful lot of poverty analysis already conducted with this data and so I'm using the consumption aggregates that are deflated and per adult equivalent that have been used for most of the poverty analysis that's been done here. What do I get? An awful lot of numbers. The ones to look at, these are the different villages. If you look at the final two columns you'll see the decomposition into the percentage of poverty that's chronic and the percentage that's transient. Now this is the Jalan Ravallion decomposition. You'll see that basically the amount of poverty is very, very, very low except for in a couple of the villages that makes a lot of sense. If you know this data set you know that there's a lot of kind of vulnerability to shocks. There's lots of transience, there's lots of changes over time going on. So when we average we tend to kind of wash out the chronic poverty a few households are always poor. If you carry on and look then at the new decomposition the pattern's an awful lot different. Most of these percentages of chronic poverty are around about the 20, 30, 40% miles. So we're actually picking up a lot more proportion of that poverty as chronic and perhaps we can be more confident in what those numbers mean because we've seen the properties that that measure has and so I think that's it basically. So there remains still work to make the measure maybe a bit more elegant and characterise more general class there. Thank you.


Thank you. Okay hello again, people in the room, hi, hello people in the stream and on the recording. My name is Claudia, this is Barbara. Yeah I'm Barbara. The thing is we're doing a creative writing workshop here so as soon as the lorry is going around there. Dear, maybe you can have a third try to start that workshop now. Why do we do that? Because we want to let's hack words here. Really? Okay I'm doing this partly as my job. I have a normal day job and then in my very limited spare time I'm also an author so I write books for two publishers and yeah mostly crime novels currently so not changed to science fiction now because I can't think of all this stuff going on around us this is much worse than anything I could think of. Well I'm also writing on my day job and I'm a journalist and I'm writing for a big newspaper in Austria and besides that I'm writing on my first big novel which is already finished 400 pages but it's not published yet and it will not be published in the very close future but maybe in one year and for me I'm all started with creative writing. I attended some creative writing workshops myself in the last couple of years and they really helped me to get started with my novel because before that I was always thinking about oh well I should write I should write but I didn't start and finally after having a workshop like this I started so I want to share this experience with you. Actually we're sharing this experience like once a month because we're in the same writing group that's a thing with authors are those separated creatures sitting in dark chambers you know that from the nerd parts right but we come out once a month sit there together in some cafe and write for about two or three hours yeah but you can try that maybe later if you like what you're experiencing here. For the people on the screens in the stream you can interact with us via Twitter just write to Shrumbab, Shrumbab is Barbara here and we can we can answer your questions then. Hi there come in. And everybody who just came in new into the tent here and needs some paper and pen just raise your hands and I will bring it to you because we are here in a workshop and you're going to write actually it's not only we are talking but you're writing so anybody who needs some stuff just yes you can use your computer. Yes you may use your computer if you like you can also just try to write with your hands because this is a completely different experience so for all of you who has already tried writing for the people in the room who has already some experience with writing software is okay-ish. Okay so who is writing novels and who is writing software? Novels? Okay one two short stories short stories okay great yeah okay and code nearly everyone okay I guess this is the same for the people in the stream yeah documentation oh we love you scientific papers yes does that mobile microphone work yes great maybe it works over there thank you um this is the part with the question of your expectations from this workshop um you don't have to say much if you say something it will be on the stream uh people on the stream uh you did grasp around you get some paper and pens right good if not do it now um your expectations from that workshop just one minute thinking who wants to say what what he's expecting here so we can we can actually one sec for me it's to um just get encouragement and motivation so I've been to a number of workshops and each time each one just helps a little bit but it's all it's all helpful so it's um I'm motivated by attending these things okay that's it so you're you're already keen on writing we're totally motivated that you're here well my expectation is to have one page of this at least filled with something coherent you might reach this goal hi well thank you for giving the talk um I have a lot of thoughts and write these down like small pinpoints and whatever but I never get further than just these small pinpoints and I think it will be really interesting to grab them together into bigger essays and you have to make time for that and maybe this will be a nice stepping stone in the front set to start making that time okay anyone else did you see a hand yes no yeah no no no I'm quite blank I thought creative writing I can I can I can learn something okay we're working on that one anyone else yes every every technique like dancing or making paintings has its own ways of getting into the creative process so I'm interesting in what aspects and what techniques there are in this field okay well we'll also come come around some some of the creative techniques yes we will um okay for you to start yes please thank you this is about free writing free writing is already a technique who already knows free writing no hands I can't see hands from the stream but we just go on with people in the room then um free writing Barbara well free writing is actually something you should you can use to get over writing blocks it's a creative technique which you are starting to use before you actually want to write something that is important it's like you're sitting now here and you might have something in your mind that disturbs you the whole fucking day and you are not getting rid of it and you really want to get rid of it because you can't concentrate on the topic you really want to write about like a shopping list the car insurance that guy in the office like anything that's disturbing and coming back to your mind I guess everyone knows that right yeah I see nodding good yeah not not only me and that's why you use this technique like before you write what you really want to write you write down what disturbs you and you're doing this in one huge line it doesn't mean that you know well actually you shouldn't stop writing at all and if you're not if nothing comes into your mind write nothing comes into my mind nothing comes into my mind nothing comes into my mind oh maybe now maybe now well let's try oh my home is so bad today or no today the wind and the tent maybe it's not secured yet whatever just don't stop writing and you do that for I think we said we do that for five minutes and five minutes is normally the time you use that okay then your mind should be more empty than before and then you can concentrate on the real things right so actually every one of you is just grasping the pen or your keyboard and just start writing anything that comes to your mind just anything yeah so and the the reason for is it is that it will go out go away and afterwards you will be a bit more clear and you will have it all out of the way afterwards so when we come to to the creative process itself fine five minutes and go and if somebody needs a paper and pen and hasn't got it now raise your hands I will bring it to you immediately yeah and stop okay how did it go it was one sec I was pleased that I kept going for five minutes my hands tired and I still had stuff left to right so I think I'm doing good thank you that's good anyone else how did it go you look at looking still still pleased one sec coming to you uh pretty good I've managed to write a whole lot of nothing I think that's good that's exactly what you were supposed to be doing yeah one thing I'm wondering but probably there is no right and wrong here uh is that I did everything grammatically very correct instead of no I don't know blah blah blah yeah yeah that's that's totally fine as long as you don't stop writing it's just getting everything out of your of your mind so your brain can come into a create creative mode um so in normally during the day you're in like a uh non-creative working mode I have to do this I have to do that and so on and the car insurance and the cat and whatever um and you when you when you start free writing it all comes out and it goes out of the way does anyone already notice is it a bit for the first first time maybe yeah maybe I see a nodding okay close enough I actually liked that I heard a lot of people writing so the the sound of pencil on on paper and then some people on on the keyboards was great and I saw I saw people actually smile doing it so that was good um so and we are going to continue writing now it's not over yet this was just a warm up that was the warm up yes um we have a writing proposal for you how did come that there's still a typo in that okay I have a typo in the slide I'm actually I'm sorry I was sure I corrected it but okay sorry for the typo I'll correct it uh when you are writing again uh no I didn't use a spell checker because the spell checker always cuts out everything that that I usually write down so um this is just just bits and pieces from from writing experience when you write um what a dialogue how people speak they don't speak as you write texts so um if you say no I'm gonna do this or whatever and you write that down the spell checker cuts it out out so that's why I actually seldomly use a spell checker only in in business business emails yes I think with a spell checker also you have a distraction something that stops you like you're writing and all of a sudden there's this red line that says hey wait a second and you need to write click and say oh okay I meant this word it stops your flow so I think that's another reason I type in Dutch and the spell checker will be on English and then type in English and it'll be on Dutch so always get rid of squiggly lines yeah the red lines can be really disturbing when you want to write something in one uh line and yeah yeah so our spell checker not for the first draft it is it is good when you're when you're rewriting afterwards so if you're actually going through your texts again and want to do something with it then spell checker is fine but for the first draft no uh maybe those screens uh slides were my first draft then maybe possibly yes no okay okay for the subject we propose uh you can say no I have a clear idea about uh something that I actually want to write about I know a new short story I know uh a scene that I've seen somewhere on the camp or something you can of course write about that you you can do whatever you like this is just a proposal from us so if you you're going blank actually you could come back to the proposal but you don't have to um about that resilience Barbara you chose uh chose the subject why well um resilience is the official theme of shard 2017 maybe not all of you have known that but now you know and um that's why um this workshop is also called let's hack words because we want to um use the shard topic um and um our words um and get creative with resilience but it's just a suggestion and you can write whatever you uh want which means you can like write lyrics you can write a short story you can just start writing a story you can um write a poem poem you can write whatever comes up to you and you can just write what what you experienced here so far like in terms of um we are all here at this um workshop camp camp and a few days and uh we all um got different things to see and hear and maybe this has inspired us so far and you we can um kind of um write that down what inspired us so far yes but i ask why resilience Barbara that not not only because it's the subject of shard but what do you understand from resilience what is what is your understanding of resilience so maybe for all of us so to get into the topic no one oh come on one one one sec for me uh from my understanding of resilience is just being able to keep going it's being like bloody minded about things like even when things get tough you you keep going because you've got you want to keep going but it's sensible for you okay but it can be difficult sometimes anyone else yes it's about uh keeping on track uh with your goals uh as you go right and you get distracted by many things so uh but first of all you need to have a goal so if you're goalless yeah i think you're all over the place but i think that is ultimately what it comes down to not the one yeah maybe i'm just imagining an a pillow with feathers instead of what is it called the air mattress i'm sleeping on now so that's waiting for me at home and um yes i was really impressed by what he said because i'm also working on a project right now which has its difficulties and also always i feel also when it's very difficult with this project that my enthusiasm about the subject and the essence of the project is what keeps it going even when it's really really tough so okay that there was the word drive for for the people in the stream um anyone else oh i see i see already uh faces thinking faces so um i think they are already keen to start actually yeah want to start again okay we'll do that for let's say uh 15 minutes that's fine for you three times as much as you did the first time okay you had five minutes the first time for the free writing now you've got 15 and if you want we can tell you when it's uh five minutes before um the end yes five minutes warning for everyone okay people on the stream um we will start a timer for 15 minutes and this is also for you to write yes you are writing too yeah and if you've got questions you can twitter us to shroombub uh sh r double o m b a b shroombub at shroombub on twitter and just um get in with your questions and we will answer them too um okay for that timer it's 16 13 now and go and if you need some more papers just raise your hands please people on the stream you will have to grab grasp around you for some more paper or maybe switch to your keyboard this is the five minute warning five minutes to go congratulations you just wrote a first draft here you go yes it's a first draft what you produced in the last 15 minutes it's a first draft of a text that could become a short story a novel a poem something you can win the pool it's a prize for and i see people throwing their the pens already did you switch to the stream already okay hi people in the stream welcome back i hope you've written something wonderful too but actually first drafts are seldomly wonderful in in the first go first drafts are meant to be shitty that doesn't mean that your text is shitty no but uh if you have the feeling like oh god i did 15 minutes of writing just something and nobody in the whole world will want to read that ever in a whole lifetime in a whole history of human beings or whatever that's totally okay that's normal for first drafts i have that every time i write a text it's like nobody wants to read that well um i have the opposite feeling when i finish a text i always think oh it's so great it's so great and when i read it again then i get this feeling for me it's mostly okay uh this is so bad and then i read it again like two or three weeks or months later and then i think oh it wasn't that bad okay we can work on it so uh normally you produce a whole lot of text and then you carve the real creative text from it so you have to have more text in the beginning to have something to work on so uh and all all that let uh free writing that first drafts this is what you do for for start and then you can actually work on it and and form the actual text you want to to make it is it a book or a poem or whatever so uh usually you make yeah the first draft you make the big stone the rock and then you can work on it and fine tune but no no fine tuning without any text so this is what you always have to do let's ask them how did it go did you ask them how did it go you're having this microphone to go around yes and ask them i see hands and i'm coming yeah so what i notice normally when i'm writing is that my perfectionism kicks in so i start dismissing my own words even while i'm writing and this techniques helps me to just completely shut that part of my brain off and just continue writing i also noticed i'm not scratching in my book i'm just continue writing writing writing and i think it was really helpful that's fine i like that fine uh anyone else i see you nodding no one want to talk okay yes you want it relaxes my brain for a bit but not my hands so i was typing yeah it felt good felt good is good i think anyone else yes i do see the added value of a pen and paper now because it's too easy on the keyboard to go and erase some things but but you see it even though you typed on your keyboard oh sorry smart so yeah i do notice i try to keep writing and it works kind of definitely but sometimes i did notice like four or five times i go back and say like ah this is not correct or i should like change this a little bit and it's just too easy on the keyboard that inner sensor is a is a beast and it actually is anyone else yes yeah normally i i really hate writing i have to say that like i'm not a writer at all um i also hate reading i'm a photographer uh but uh yeah that's why i went here because i want to push myself to also learn other things that than i usually do and uh yeah it's it's it's interesting it's interesting to see that i'm actually able to to write almost two pages now that's good first two pages of your whole new novel that's good that's totally good anyone else yes no people from the stream Barbara did we get any no we didn't get any feedback on the stream because they're all writing yes hopefully they didn't stop well that's good go on um okay uh we we already said that inner sensor who are who knows that that inner sensor the the inner person who's trying to hold you back who's always correcting you saying no you can't write that like that or no you misspelled that word or whatever who knows that yes these are a few more hands nearly nearly everybody here knows the inner sensor i hate him well that's why we that's why we draw him she does that i can't draw anything i should go to a creative drawing workshop next no no no we we drawing can be as easy as writing like everybody can write so everybody can draw this is ways from being perfect but it's really helpful when you're having a writing blockade to draw your inner sensor in the moment it looks like so this is how it looked like for me at the moment tomorrow it might look totally different it is ways from perfect it's just the inner sensor that hit me uh right now here today and why i was drawing it because it's the best feeling ever if you can destroy him and i guess we're not allowed to set that thing on fire are we no we are not allowed to do it here but you can you can do it at home or you can just throw it in the trash bin and it really frees you up i mean it really empties you and it really helps to um go it away and this is also kind of technique we want to um let you at least know about if you want you can try it now but we actually running a bit out of time but just remember to draw it and throw it away yes and uh another thing you can do uh except from uh drawing your inner sensor uh you could also give him a name like i don't know mr smith or something and then you can shout at him or write him a bad letter with all your writing mistakes you can ever think of yes the inner sensor might be a woman or a cat a vomiting cat or so yeah um another thing you can do and this is something you come across if you if you write creative writing books or you read creative writing books this is something most of the people recommend are morning pages yes yes morning pages that's actually um i'm not a morning person so for me it is not that helpful but but for everybody who is really awake uh the brain awakens when you wake up and you are really um getting out of the bed drink the first coffee and then you're um fully motivated to start your day um um well i i never was it can be um a good choice to sit down for five minutes and do what we did before like with the first exercise with the free writing um when you do that every day in the morning for five minutes after one month it um you notice a difference in the um in the feeling um you're you can start your day more clear and yeah and it doesn't only help you for writing but it helps you for writing as well um actually i'm not a morning person either i have no freaking idea how i got through my school time um but um if you if you just get out of band even if you're still dizzy and everything just write down either five minutes or three pages or whatever you take as your goal just do it i try that myself uh i somehow lost lost track of it doing it again but i shall start again soon um maybe not maybe not at camp but maybe at camp maybe even at camp at camp yes you too uh no um it's like uh you you just get out of bed and you write down um parts of your dreams parts of what's going on in your mind parts of things that happened through the last days and then you just write it all down like we did the first time and as Barbara said you're getting more clear after after two three weeks uh i had the the feeling that my my my thoughts are getting clearer much clearer and i could get into that writing mode much faster not not only in the morning but you are able to to write in the afternoon or in the evening when you already did some writing in the morning this worked for me but you you are just invited to try it for your own just try it it's it's just an an offer but uh i realized even if i'm not a morning person that it actually works um and then we can already say thank you for being here fellow writers you already wrote some pages you already made a start maybe or you kept going and we invite you to just go on just try it again and um yeah if you like that here um i hope we see each other at some other point yes i see i see another hand coming yes thank you so so the question i currently have is how do you get from this mumbling to an article or something you actually want to publish what's the next step um for me it just switched mode so if you keep on going or for me it worked if you just keep on writing and writing and writing at some point you realize you're already writing that article or you're actually writing that topic or the next scene of your short story or book and you when everything that's disturbing you is going out then suddenly you just switch to to the to the other thing you really want to write sometimes if there's maybe going on lots in your life it takes longer and sometimes you need only two or three sentences and then you're already in in the story it's just at that point in your in your brain it just click yes one second another another tip for that is maybe to cluster things what you wrote down now to make a cluster of it and see what belongs to each other like where which you know what a cluster is i don't have to explain that and then why when you are finished with clustering um you you better see how you're going to start and where the start is and where the end is so to make at least that helps for blog articles yeah about that so i can share my strategy i personally works for me um so you talked about morning pages uh that's what i'm doing as well um okay i know a lot of people are skeptical about this and think like i can't do it i can't you know i can't wake up and write i am not this kind of person but honestly um just try it and what i did is went after a while after you do this for every single day for like a month you start to see repetitive patterns you see like you're always complaining about the same stuff you're complaining about i can't write or i i really want to start writing a novel but i'm still i still haven't started damn and after a while it starts to annoy you that you have to keep on writing the same stuff so you think hey okay wait i need to do something about this at one point your mind starts to think that i need to do something about it and then i recommend you to actually go take your agenda take your planner and plan in time plan in one hour plan in 10 minutes plan in as little time or as much time as you can get away with in your busy life we all have busy lives plan it and then do it commit to it planning time for yourself is commitment and commitment will get you to your goal yes yes what he said right okay um so thank you very much uh i think we're finished nearly on time just two minutes thank you very much for for letting us have that two minutes it was thank you for your contribution um thank you and we hope you had some fun while writing yes uh we hope all the people in the stream had fun writing um whoever wants to come back to us having questions just having a beer or something at chung and talking further about it anytime you can find us online and on twitter which is also online but um and uh yeah for me you see two twitter names which uh the one with the real name is the my author self and the others my my nerd self the author self is also uh followed by my boss so don't uh yeah expect too much nerdy stuff there but you find my author self there thank you thank you people from from the technics the technical guys and uh yeah see you bye thank you for coming to our workshop i am and um please you can keep all you wrote um but it would be very nice if you would return the pens thank you


Hey y'all, so what is keto? What's this crazy word people are talking about? Well, what they really mean is ketogenic diet or ketosis or elevating your ketone levels. Keto is just a short word for being in ketosis But most people are looking at it as like, what's this keto diet all about?  So yes, it's very similar to Akin's diet. It's very similar to a low carb diet That's very similar to it, but the key to keto is elevating your ketone levels to a therapeutic level if you really want the major benefits of energy, focus, mood, sleep, and fat loss. What is ketosis? We've heard this word now. Maybe it's something you heard in science class Maybe something you heard your friends doing this keto thing or or ketogenic thing Ketosis is really actually simple. It's all it means is you have an elevated ketone levels And now there's multiple ways to get into ketosis Most people are familiar with like a low carb diet or keto diet or maybe Akin's or modified Akin's They're doing some variations of reducing their carbohydrates Maybe increasing their fat intake. Some of you may realize there's actually a way to supplement ketones Which is what I do on top of a low carb diet to elevate my ketone level So ketosis is an elevated state of ketosis or ketones and it's actually been around our whole our whole existence as human So it's very safe very effective It's a great tool to help improve the quality of your life for energy, focus, mood, sleep, and fat loss So if you tried keto before down below just tell me if you've ever tried it. I'd love to hear from you What is a ketone? So you may have heard about the ketogenic diet ketones, keto, ketosis Somebody doing this little thing lost a bunch of weight, but what really is it? What's a ketone? It's actually really simple. A ketone is energies. Your body primarily prior to the last five years You would have to do a low carb diet. Your body would metabolize your fat Our ancestors have done this all of our existence through famine and low carb living just by by the natural process And it break your fat down into a ketone and there's actually three forms of ketones there's three and that are produced by the human body and Those ketones have energy One of the main ones being beta hydroxybutyrate.  So have you ever tried keto? Let me know down below. I get this one all the time is ketosis safe long-term and I kind of understand where people are coming from because it's like this is a new concept to them But it's really not news scientifically the ketogenic diet has been studied for a hundred years Humans have been in ketosis all of our existence nearly all of our existence most of the time So what I can tell you is being out of ketosis is not safe long term Being in ketosis is more natural normally in the body now Does that mean you're gonna be in ketosis 24 7 20 356 days a year? No, it's probably not We're gonna live in a world where we're gonna have some flexibility in our diet But the reality is is that eating a low carb healthy diet nutritional plan is not unsafe It's actually really safe for you now There's some people with some where our health conditions that have to be more aware of this But guess what they kind of already are and they're already taking that initiative.  Yes, that is something that will help But the reality is who's keto for it's for performance who wants to live better feel better think better. It's about cognition It's about better aging. It's about quality of life.  So this is for you really intense keto people that want to track everything. What's a good ketone level? Well therapeutic ketosis is basically above 0.5 millimolar if you don't know what that all means Don't worry about you don't need to know that but some of you out there out there measuring and doing all these things different things So 0.5 is therapeutic What we found is that people that tend to do above 1 to 1.5 between 1.5 and 3 tend to thrive a little bit more They tend to have a little bit more vitality But 0.5 is when we start to see this shift people's energy and focus and mental clarity We start to see a vitality shift in them But there is a sweet spot But I want to give you a range here because everybody's gonna be different and there is a correlation is called the zone There's a correlation between your blood sugar and your ketone levels that can even tie it in a little tighter And that's something you're gonna hear a lot more about next four or five years So optimal let's get you 0.5 and let's get above 0.5 and let's keep it below five if you want to get the best ketone levels All right So how do you start keto now people are gonna be surprised what I say because what you're really asking me is What do I eat the reality that's actually not the best way to start keto The best way is to have awareness of where carbs are coming from. I actually have a cheat sheet start cleaning out your club cup cup It's in your closet Prepare prepare your diet prepare low carb fine low carb options start cutting those carbs down You need to support you need family and people to support you and you need to know why you're doing this If you don't know why you're doing this, you're more likely to quit so having a good I have young kids my why are pretty powerful because I want to be better I want to live better. I want to have vitality as I get older for my kids So learning what to eat. I have so many other videos teaching you that but knowing the five steps to starting keto is really the secret All right, I get this question all the time How fast can I drop weight on keto the reality is you're trying to drop body fat not weight? But that's okay a good friend of mine doctor Stephen Anton.  How much weight would you like to drop?  Just give me a go but give me a comment. Let me know. Alright, so what supplements should you use on keto? This is number one by far. We have a product that we've been using for five years. It elevates your ketone levels So basically you don't have to be perfect on the diet to get amazing extraordinary results also has It has amino acids in it. It has B vitamins in it Which B vitamins are another thing that you might need a little extra on keto a Multi-vitamin just a good general multivitamins electrolytes Which is another thing that I highly recommend and we use and then of course the last one is magnesium just a little extra magnesium You can do that through an epsom salt bath or through some supplementation So these are important because you might find that you're getting results You start to plateau and you may need to bump those up a little bit to get major major major major results So if you need any questions on this just pop me a comment below and I'll help you out I so what is keto Nat? What is keto? We've already learned about that But what is keto Nat keto Nat is a product that I stand behind for less five and a half years? 2015 we launched this product and it's basically a way to supplement ketones into your system So you don't have to be perfect on any diet. You can gradually go into it You can go a little bit more extreme a little bit less extreme and it keeps your ketone levels elevated It's a therapeutic ketone supplement. That's bio identical. It's freaking amazing. It's like instead of swimming to Hawaii You can take an airplane to Hawaii It's just easier and it's more sustainable and it allows people to have flexibility without being perfect Also, not have all the guilt of messing up. So that's why I stand behind it I encourage anybody that's gonna go do keto get this in your hands and just hit me a message I'll take care of you. I'll coach you and guide you around the whole process and it'll definitely is a game-changer All right, I'm gonna be nice in this one.   It's a made-up term that was made up a few years back But the reality is is be careful you may not get the ultimate goals it and results you want So my only suggestion for people that doing lazy keto is to drink keto Nat Because it allows you to keep your ketone levels elevated when you take the days off Because it's not the one day that you take the day off. It's the three or four days later It's not the eight the 20% that gets you in trouble is that when that 20 turns into 30 or 40% So lazy keto is just it's just doing it 80% of the time. All right, so I get this a lot Why do I need to drink keto Nat when my body already produces ketones? Well, the reality is is 70% of you your body is not producing ketones very well or very effectively So by elevating them up gives you the benefits of feeling good So you can weather the storm to get to your body's production So it allows your body to make it more efficient at producing your own ketones Which is a win-win and most people can't elevate their ketone levels high enough to get the major benefits now for something Like myself that's already in ketosis. I use it as an added bonus. It's like an accelerator for anti-aging brain performance quality of life So I'm taking it to just another level So if you're looking for better if you're looking for more definitely drink keto Nat no matter what kind of diet you're on Even if it's a ketogenic diet. All right, so a good friend of mine dr. Bretscher called me up and he we're just talking he goes He's what's the most important thing about keto and I go about about what we're doing about prove about this community And as an independent proof-it promoter, I realized that it's not actually the ketones out Superior in every way the best product I've ever seen in my 20-plus year career It's actually the community what I find is that most people are in an island by themselves trying to make a health health transformation Or a life transformation They need people behind them support and team and camaraderie. That is the biggest thing So I would say this is that if you're looking for better in any way And I don't care if this has anything to do with keto or with us Go find people that have what you want and then are going in the place that you're going and go spend time with them Now in the same time I would still drink our amazing product because it's only elevate your life as you do it So come join the mission to better come join the mission to a million cheers y'all Hey, so what are keto foods?   All right is fruit okay on keto It's this is a this is a tough one for people people are like it's all natural. It's organic It's this is that the reality is is a lot of fruit has a lot of sugar in it And that's it's affecting you to get into ketosis, especially fat losses your goal I do have some rules if you're already leaned out if you're leaning out well and you're in your transforming well There is some fruits that you can have in moderation some berries strawberries raspberries blackberries blueberries because they don't have as much carbs And sugars in them, but be careful of fruit It's really really really tricky because people will have this perception that it's good for them And it may be in some some sorts, but from a ketogenic perspective into max or maximize fat loss fruit can really mess people up So I would tell you this if you're really active and you're really lean you can get away with a little bit more But if you're not I would lean towards the left side of it And if you're going to add any kind of fruits in berries or where you start We're talking about a reboot. We're talking about a reset of how do you do that? How's that how's that look for you? And it's 24 hours. It's 60 hours. We're giving people the opportunity to Create a better relationship with food allow themselves to metabolically shift allow themselves to create a momentum in their life And their health and their vitality right you elevate your ketone levels you elevate your life And this is what with science has been proven now But what we realize is that when people go 24 hours without food or 60 hours without food It's it like stresses them out. They're overwhelmed. They don't think they can do it They are on this fear moment. So we have a kit and tools to use to help support you We have a community and a team to support you in coaching and Mentorship and guidance through the process because you can do this you can change your life. You can go 24 hours without food That's a huge win. You can go 60 hours if you want to without food That's a huge win But we're gonna give you the tools and the environment to create a success pattern for you to be successful So come join us and let's go change our lives together This idea of eating every two or three hours or five meals a day But first off I'm not gonna get into the history of how it started But it's a mistake for the majority of the population There's maybe some small small groups that we could justify that for a short amount of time But think back in our history of time Ancestrally our ancestors would have never eaten that often food wasn't that plentiful if the Egyptians would have been eating five times a Day they be still building the pyramids today. They wouldn't have time to do anything It's like a prison of food. The reality is we should eat more hungry stock more full most people should eat one two times a day Yes, if you're really active, maybe you go up to three times a day and you'll get better vitality better help better longevity By ultimately eating less and less often so intermittent fast fast more often And you'll feel way better than ever before and let's get away from these every two three hours of eating times Because it's not working long-term for people. Cheers We're gonna talk about prolonged fasting long-term fasting meaning fasting for 24 hours or even longer So we've been doing this I've been doing this for over 20 years. My first fast was 14 days. That's stupid and crazy I don't actually recommend it But I've been not done no up to a long-term fasting and when I'm talking about fasting I'm talking about elimination of food still drinking plenty of water or highly mineralized water for hydration purposes Now the benefit of this is a lot of things you increase autophagy you increase cellular turnover and long-term vitality We scientific has shown that that fasting is one of the best long-term things for anti-aging and better quality of life So I'm a huge fan of it The challenge is is that if you're starting out in a pretty unhealthy place You want to take your time start with intermittent fasting work up to the metabolic Mondays or a one hour or one day fast And then you can work up to our 60 hour fast that we do every single month So it's a great tool to use to help advance your health and your life and your vitality and body composition But intermittent fasting. What is it? What does it mean? Basically fasting in itself means elimination of something in this case We're talking about fasting from food eliminating food for a period of time Intermittent fasting would be I'm gonna stop eating at 8 p.m. Or 7 p.m. And I'm gonna wait 12 or 16 hours We all fast through the night unless you get up in the middle of the night So you can do a little longer So a lot of people are doing right now or they're doing an eating window between 12 o'clock and then don't eat after 8 p.m And they're fasting 16 hours now you can do that a little longer or shorter. It's up to you But that's simple. It's all intermittent fasting is if you combine intermittent fasting with a low-carb diet eating low-carb between 12 and 8 Wow, you can get absolutely amazing results You elevate your ketone levels and you feel really really really good. So that's what intermittent fasting is I think everybody should give it a try do it at least five or six days a week. Cheers The reality is is that if you can never weigh yourself and you look in the mirror and you're very confident Happy and who you are. You are the winner. You've you've accomplished the greatness We should be weighing ourselves as little as possible Ideally twice a year checking in with your doctor finding out where you're at No more than once a month. The reason is is that when people weigh themselves. They're not the only way in one variable There's so many variables to weight that it can really mess things up. It doesn't measure bone density doesn't mess your muscle mass It doesn't measure how much water you're holding it doesn't measure any of those things and often because of psychological warfare Only 10% of the population can weigh themselves and get excited about beating the scale Most people feel emotionally defeated because it's not where they want it to be or they get really excited because it moved Let's quit that and if you want long-term results You have to get rid of the scale long-term for you to ultimately feel the way you want to feel. Cheers. I have to apologize I don't have a bottle of vodka in front of me right now, but can you drink on keto the truth is you can It's actually pretty simple. It's one of the simplest things to do is to drink when you're in ketosis because There's a lot of low-carb options alcohol in itself pure alcohol is actually keto friendly Now there is a little caveat wine can have more carbs red dry red wine 3 to 5 grams sweeter stuff can go way up from there Beer they have low carb beers to 2.5 or 3 grams per per beer So you can pull it off be careful though because alcohol can really slow down fat loss and fat metabolism So if you're not getting results, you do want to start looking at cutting back your alcohol It's not because it's not in ketosis. It's more because it's preventing you to get that weight loss or that fat loss Goal so alcohol can definitely be consumed on the ketogenic diet Let's talk about exercise on keto now What people are often thinking about is like what can get me the best results and I'm gonna give you two answers here This is the two answers the best exercise you can do is the one that you're willing to do the one that you can be consistent to I don't care if it's dancing the Richard Simmons. I don't care if it's if it's hit I don't care if it's weight.  I would tell you two hardcore days of hit training or heavy hard do hard to go weights where you feel it Like you kicked your butt to the other days I want you to do low intensity like 60 minutes to 90 minute like low intensity walk biking and I find for the normal person Non-athletic person that is the best recipe you can do that every day And then you can do two hardcore workouts a week and you'll get great results. Cheers All right, we're gonna talk keto sweeteners This is something again I want people to be careful of is too many people are looking for all these Alternative desserts and fat bombs and they add all these extra stuff to it And it's probably not gonna be necessary for your long-term goals But if you're gonna use and you're gonna make a dessert and have some sweeteners I just recommend we have a couple products that we recommend that are amazing And so we use things like stevia keto friendly and we have another form that we use as it uses Alvulose it's keto friendly monk fruit can be utilized Exile at all be careful of although could probably be okay for more people and you through all which is another one That we use is also keto friendly, but be careful. What's out there people are saying are keto They may be like sent with other stuff So look for the most organic clean sources that you can get and enjoy your keto journey y'all All right, so can vegetarians do keto the truth is they can but it's really really hard for a lot of people Starting out to become a vegan or vegetarian.  It's really really tough. So most of my vegetarians and vegans I don't even won't even talk to them if they don't use one of our products It supplements amino acids it supplements from protein It supplements ketones for them be vitamins things that you would naturally be low in a ready just on the type of diet You're doing and you get results really really really quickly and it doesn't I have to it It doesn't allow you to be so strict with low-carb and you can get the really cool balance and benefits of being in ketosis So yes, you can do it, but it's really really tough and you got to work really hard for it All right, so is there any side effects to be in a ketosis?  There are a few things that you want to be aware of number one ketones are natural diuretic Why I use a very specific tool for hydration.
