Cal NewportI build my days around a core of carefully chosen deep work, with the shallow activities I absolutely cannot avoid batched into smaller bursts at the peripheries of my schedule. Three to four hours a day, five days a week, of uninterrupted and carefully directed concentration, it turns out, can produce a lot of valuable output. Cal NewportPeople need to stop thinking about one task in order to fully transition their attention and perform well on another.

The Spotlight Effect is a cognitive bias that often leads us to overestimate the extent to which our actions or perceived flaws are noticed and remembered by others.

Eleanor RooseveltSelf-importance is a trap because the moment we start to think that we actually matter is the moment when things start to go wrong. The truth is that you are supremely unimportant and nothing matters. All of man's striving is for nothing; all effort is wasted. To realize that everything is meaningless is tremendously liberating since it then leaves us completely free to create our own lives and ignore the plans that others have for us.

It typically refers to individuals who are perceived as unwittingly supporting or promoting a cause or ideology that may be against their own best interests.

A Pearl of wisdom is a piece of wise advice, that is metaphorically as precious as a pearl. The phrase has been about for centuries and came about I believe as pearls themselves take a long time to form, just like the wise words of knowledge that they are compared to. This is another short episode, but it’s packed full of invaluable advice.

Hanlon’s Razor is a mental model, often quoted as ‘Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by neglect.’ And it is derived originally from something Napoleon Bonaparte famously declared in 1774: 'Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.”For a full transcript of this episode please go to the official website https://www.filmproproductivity.com/Show links:OFFICIAL WEBSITE: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/ TWITTER: https://twitter.com/FilmProProdPod FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/filmproproductivity CONTACT: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/contact INDIE FILM HUSTLE: https://indiefilmhustle.com/ifh-podcast-network-filmmaking-and-screenwriting/YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqo0Zld2Lm2lJDpDh3GsuZgQUOTES:I would add a clumsier but more accurate corollary to this: ‘Never attribute to malice or stupidity that which can be explained by moderately rational individuals following incentives in a complex system of interactions.’ People behaving with no central coordination and acting in their own best interest can still create results that appear to some to be clear proof of conspiracy or a plague of ignorance.

A limiting mind virus is simply a limiting belief - a state of mind or belief about yourself that restricts you in some way. Today I talk about these limiting beliefs, how to identify them within yourself, and how to get around them.Do you have a limiting belief or more than one? Not sure? Then ask yourself this question: WHAT IS THE DISCONNECT BETWEEN WHAT I DESERVE AND WHAT I BELIEVE I DESERVE?For a full transcript of this episode please go to the official website https://www.filmproproductivity.com/Show links:OFFICIAL WEBSITE: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/ TWITTER: https://twitter.com/FilmProProdPod FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/filmproproductivity CONTACT: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/contact INDIE FILM HUSTLE: https://indiefilmhustle.com/ifh-podcast-network-filmmaking-and-screenwriting/YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqo0Zld2Lm2lJDpDh3GsuZgQUOTES:There is one grand lie - that we are limited. The only limits we have are the limits we believe. Wayne Dyer You can't escape from a prison until you recognize you are in one. People who have chosen to live within the limits of their old beliefs continue to have the same experiences. It takes effort and commitment to break old patterns Bob ProctorIf you raise your standards but don't really believe you can meet them, you've already sabotaged yourself. You won't even try; you'll be lacking the sense of certainty that allows you to tap the deepest capacity that's within you... Our beliefs are like unquestioned commands, telling us how things are, what's possible and impossible and what we can and cannot do. They shape every action, every thought and every feeling that we experience. As a result, changing our belief systems is central to making any real and lasting change in our lives. Tony RobbinsIf you accept a limiting belief, then it will become a truth for you.

In this show, I introduce 10 thoughts on the pitfalls, benefits, and tricks for successfully using social media.For a full transcript of this episode please go to the official website https://www.filmproproductivity.com/ Show links:OFFICIAL WEBSITE: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/ TWITTER: https://twitter.com/FilmProProdPod FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/filmproproductivity CONTACT: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/contact INDIE FILM HUSTLE: https://indiefilmhustle.com/ifh-podcast-network-filmmaking-and-screenwriting/QUOTES:When you write an article about anything, trolls use the comments to attack. They feel frustrated - but haters are losers. It's not good to feed this aspect. It's more intelligent to be constructive. Paulo Coelho People are at the mercy of internet trolls who bring people who are excellent in their fields down to their level. They're diminishing someone's flame to make theirs brighter. David HayeYou get the odd person [in social media] that will write something nasty and the trick is not to engage with them on any level. Boy George Social media is driving the culture, it drives peoples minds literally. Aeriel Miranda The goal of social media is to turn customers into a volunteer marketing army. Jay BaerThey appear to have become so attached to their outrage that they are even more outraged that they won't be able to be outraged anymore. Barney FrankDon’t believe everything you read on the internet. Abraham LincolnCuriosity pulls people into the scam. Frank StalloneDistractions are everywhere. And with the always-on technologies of today, they take a heavy toll on productivity. One study found that office distractions eat an average 2.1 hours a day. Another study, published in October 2005, found that employees spent an average of 11 minutes on a project before being distracted. After an interruption, it takes them 25 minutes to return to the original task, if they do at all. David RockWe're comparing our behind-the-scenes with everybody else's highlight reel. Steven FurtickIf you struggle to break up with your phone for even two minutes, maybe it’s time to take action and treat yourself to a digital detox. Even if it’s just one hour a day, it can make a world of difference to your well-being and sanity. Jennifer LiuMostly, I think people are fake. Well, what do you expect? The fake world we live in conspires to make us all fakes. Benjamin Alire SaenzI don't care how much money you have, free stuff is always a good thing. Queen LatifahThere's a danger in the internet and social media. The notion that information is enough, that more and more information is enough, that you don't have to think, you just have to get more information - gets very dangerous.

Because only when you operate from strengths can you achieve true excellence. Peter Drucker In most cases, strengths and weaknesses are two sides of the same coin. A strength in one situation is a weakness in another, yet often the person can't switch gears. It's a very subtle thing to talk about strengths and weaknesses because almost always they're the same thing. Steve Jobs that Millions of people never analyze themselves. Mentally they are mechanical products of the factory of their environment, preoccupied with breakfast, lunch, and dinner, working and sleeping, and going here and there to be entertained. They don't know what or why they are seeking, nor why they never realize complete happiness and lasting satisfaction. By evading self-analysis, people go on being robots, conditioned by their environment. True self-analysis is the greatest art of progress. Paramahansa Yogananda It is great to be introspective, self-analysis can be useful, but only if it results in action.Joe Sacco We can't make people better by trying to eliminate their weaknesses, but we can help then perform better by building on their strengths.

The people you spend the most time with shape who you are. They determine what conversations dominate your attention. They affect to which attitudes and behaviors you are regularly exposed.

Jim RohnDon't leave it to the law of averages to make you break even. Mike Caro [the people you habitually associate with] determine as much as 95 percent of your success or failure in life. Psychologist Dr. David McClelland It’s a fact of life that some people hold us back, while other propel us forward. That’s just the way it is, so you might as well accept it and learn how to deal with it instead of wishing that reality was different. Maarten van Doorn These days, people are keen to emphasize that everyone lives in his or her own bubble. In that case, we might as well try to make sure that our bubble is the one that rises highest — the one that makes us reach our goals. Maarten van Doorn Whatever you do in life, surround yourself with smart people who'll argue with you. John WoodenIn life, we will always encounter difficult people.

Hal Higdon Praise and appreciation for the good news make all the difference.

If you don’t take care of these details, the little intricate parts of whatever it is that you do, that may never be fully appreciated by others later on in the process but that will bloom into serious issues if you miss them, then whatever it is you are doing could fall apart, or at the very least become an unmanageable problem or a tremendous pain in the ass for you to sort out later.

Little things make big things happen. John WoodenAttention to detail is the secret of success in every sphere of life, and little kindnesses, little acts of consideration, little appreciations, little confidences, . . .. they are all that are needed to keep the friendship sweet. Hugh Black Failing forward is the ability to get back up after you've been knocked down, learn from your mistake, and move forward in a better direction. John C. Maxwell Productivity and efficiency can be achieved only step by step with sustained hard work, relentless attention to details and insistence on the highest standards of quality and performance. J. R. D. Tata Strategy equals execution. All the great ideas and visions in the world are worthless if they can't be implemented rapidly and efficiently. Good leaders delegate and empower others liberally, but they pay attention to details, every day.

It doesn't matter what anyone else says. This feeling is so good that it cannot be ignored. I'm going to follow my bliss and act upon this glorious sensation of joy. Wayne Dyer If there is no passion in your life, then have you really lived? Find your passion, whatever it may be. Become it, and let it become you and you will find great things happen FOR you, TO you and BECAUSE of you. Alan ArmstrongImagine your passion like a delicate flower—a passion flower. It needs love, attention, nutrients, and sun. If you ignore it long enough, it will die.

Meg Selig Constant sitting—whether at your desk, the TV, or in the lecture hall—puts you at higher risk of heart disease, diabetes, depression, and obesity.

Amanda PalmerSometimes, your brain is a mess. You might be anxious, worried, stressed, or so full of ideas and to-do lists that you can’t focus. It’s a frustrating condition that can lead to even more stress. I find that when my brain is especially restless and haggard, I begin to fall out of my healthy routines and habits. How do you fix this overwhelming sensation? Well, I like to use a method called the brain dump. Shelby AbrahamsenYou become 42% more likely to achieve your goals and dreams, simply by writing them down.On a personal level, I do a "brain dump" where everything that's in my head that needs doing gets written down. It gives your brain a rest. And then I give myself permission not to do everything on that list. I'm much clearer about my priorities: What are those moments of connection that are most important to me? Today is a busy workday but it's also a snow day, so I'm going cross-country skiing with my husband. And then I'll come back and finish my work.

Today I am talking about a type of cognitive bias that causes people to overestimate their knowledge or ability, particularly in areas with which they have little to no experience.The Dunning-Kruger effect is when a person does not have skills or ability in a specific area but sees themselves as fully equipped to give opinions or carry out tasks in that field, even though objective measures or people around them may disagree.

Today is the last of the long episodes and in it, I am going to look back over the previous 100 shows and pick out 10 productivity techniques that will supercharge your life if you choose to take them on board. Having knowledge of these techniques is only half the battle you see, they will only ever make a difference in your life if you put them into action. As Stan Lee would say with great power comes great responsibility but I’m going to grant you these superpowers to do with as you may; all I ask is that you use them to strive forward in your life and career towards the success that awaits you.For a full transcript of this episode please go to the official website https://www.filmproproductivity.com/ You can find out more about the show on these linksOFFICIAL WEBSITE: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/ TWITTER: @filmproprodpodFACEBOOK: @filmproproductivityCONTACT: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/contact INDIE FILM HUSTLE: https://indiefilmhustle.com/ifh-podcast-network-filmmaking-and-screenwriting/QUOTES“We all wish we had superpowers. We all wish we could do more than we can do."Stan Lee"Gaining superpowers doesn't mean you know how to use them." Richelle Mead "If you have an instinct to act on a goal, you must physically move within 5 seconds or your brain will kill it." Mel Robbins“Mental energy is the world’s hottest commodity. People are going to try to steal it, drain it, and suck it up every second you’re awake. Yet very few of us protect it. Few of us know how.” Isaiah Hankel “Mental energy is OUR MOST VALUABLE ASSET. Without it, you won’t have the enthusiasm, motivation, drive, and physical energy to live a full rich life. - The problem is this asset DEPRECIATES RAPIDLY every day.” Isaiah Hankel “People carefully protect the money in their bank account and the time in their calendar, but they do little to protect their attention.” And “Attention”, he says “is the gateway to your mental energy. WHERE YOUR ATTENTION GOES, YOUR MENTAL ENERGY FLOWS.” Isaiah Hankel “It is fundamentally the confusion between effectiveness and efficiency that stands between DOING THE RIGHT THINGS and DOING THINGS RIGHT. There is surely nothing quite so useless as doing with great efficiency that which should not be done at all.” Peter Drucker"We must stop this incessant victimhood mentality.Somebody else will not fix things.Somebody else will not make me healthy.Somebody else will not make me happy.These things are my responsibility.Not the neighbour’s,not the government’s,not the church or the civic club."Joel Salatin "You are 42 percent more likely to achieve your goals if you write them down." Dr Gail Matthews, at the Dominican University in California“Saying no is very near the top of the productivity techniques that I use most often – Learn to say ‘no’ to the good so you can say ‘yes’ to the best” John C. Maxwell “Learn to set boundaries. In short, learn to say no. Don't guilt and shame yourself. Say no to people and things you don't want. Just say no. It is your right, it is your time, it is your energy.” Akiroq Brost “Your life today is a result of your thinking yesterday. Your life tomorrow will be determined by what you think today.” John C. Maxwell SPONSORThis podcast has only been made possible by the support of the various sponsors that have come my way over the past several years and today's show is no different. I’m genuinely excited in fact to tell you a little about today's sponsor as they are fellow action choreographers and stunt professionals. Since 2015 Breakfall Studios has offered individual and group training opportunities to the New York City stunt performers and actors. They offer regularly scheduled fighting, falling, tactical and stunt/action related workshops. If you are a production in need of fight coordination, a space to rehearse, shoot previz or host an audition, their Midtown studio is available for rent. Have an actor in your production who needs fight training? They've got you covered. Centrally located in Midtown, Manhattan, they will make finding time and space a bit easier. Their facility is fully equipped with a variety of pads, mats, prop weapons, a basic rig system, scaffold, and more.

In this episode, I discuss 19 ways to improve how you handle to-do lists. How much time do you spend on planning your days? 5 minutes? 10? How many of you spend no time at all on planning and just go with the flow and if you do that – how’s it working out for you? Well as you are listening to this show I’d guess you do at least try, now and again, to make SOME plans but creating a task list should not be some secondary thing that you try to do as quickly as possible. In fact, when you pay more attention to your next day’s to-do list, the more likely the list is going to be realistic.For a full transcript of this episode please go to the official website https://www.filmproproductivity.com/ You can find out more about the show on these linksOFFICIAL WEBSITE: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/ TWITTER: @filmproprodpodFACEBOOK: @filmproproductivityCONTACT: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/contact INDIE FILM HUSTLE: https://indiefilmhustle.com/ifh-podcast-network-filmmaking-and-screenwriting/ QUOTES"When you make a to-do list, you should also make a to-not-do list. Warren Buffet was asked about the secret to success, and he said that it was saying no to almost everything. Some of those little tasks won't matter as long as you get the big tasks done." Brian Tracy "If someone gives me a to-do list, I say 'thank you, this is nice.' One needs things to throw in the wastebasket." Karl LagerfeldSPONSORThis episode is sponsored by TIDY BOX.

Generally, when I talk about opening and closing doors I am talking in terms of taking on too many things. As discussed in the last show you need to ruthlessly prioritize what you are getting yourself into and the best way to do that is to always be prepared to turn down what at first may appear to be an opportunity.For a full transcript of this episode please go to the official website https://www.filmproproductivity.com/ You can find out more about the show on these links.OFFICIAL WEBSITE: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/TWITTER: @filmproprodpodFACEBOOK: @filmproproductivityCONTACT: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/contactINDIE FILM HUSTLE: https://indiefilmhustle.com/ifh-podcast-network-filmmaking-and-screenwriting/QUOTES:“When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.” Alexander Graham Bell "Close some doors today.

In this episode I’m backing a simple productivity concept - that focusing on no more than 3 things over a given period of time, not at the same time, but over a given period, could change everything for you.

To be great you will need to live with intention. That will require you to be clear on what matters most, and then to have the courage to say no to things that distract you.” Brian P. Moran"If we did the things we are capable of doing we would literally astound ourselves.” Thomas Edison“We mistakenly believe that there is a lot of time left in the year, and we act accordingly.

Just raising the subject of victim mentality is a dangerous business because those that buy into it will vehemently defend their position - a position born out of negative experiences, negative influences, or negative bias. The thing is… I can’t let it go any further – not that I think my talking about it will change the world – but it may just help a few of you that are listening to get ahead in the world or at least get past whatever victim based thinking is holding you back.

Seneca No person has the power to have everything they want, but it is in their power not to want what they don’t have, and to cheerfully put to good use what they do have. SenecaExternal things are not the problem. It’s your assessment of them which you can erase right now. Marcus Aurelius The chief task in life is simply this: to identify and separate matters so that I can say clearly to myself which are externals not under my control, and which have to do with the choices I actually control. Where then do I look for good and evil? Not to uncontrollable externals, but within myself to the choices that are my own. Epictetus Self-disruption is akin to undergoing major surgery, but you are the one holding the scalpel. Jay Samit You become what you give your attention to...If you yourself don't choose what thoughts and images you expose yourself to, someone else will, and their motives may not be the highest. Epictetus You become what you think about most often. Brian TracyThe soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts. Marcus AureliusYou have power over your mind - not outside events.

Let it go, for it was imperfect, and thank God that it can go. Brooks Atkinson The knowledge is there within us. We have only to think about the advice we have for others and then have the humility to see if we’re following it ourselves. Jinny DitzlerI never fit in. I am a true alternative. And I love being the outcast. That's my role in life, to be an outcast. Meat Loaf When you find your why, you find a way to make it happen. Eric Thomas One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want is that we never direct our focus; we never concentrate our power. Most people dabble their way through life, never deciding to master anything in particular. Tony RobbinsThe people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want and if they can't find them, make them. George Bernard Shaw The problem in my life and other people's lives is not the absence of knowing what to do but the absence of doing it. Peter Drucker Anything can be achieved in small, deliberate steps. But there are times you need the courage to take a great leap; you can't cross a chasm in two small jumps. David Lloyd GeorgeThe future belongs to those who prepare for it. Jim Moran To achieve goals you've never achieved before, you need to start doing things you've never done before.

In the final analysis, it is how we feel about ourselves that provides the greatest reward from any activity. It is not what we get that makes us valuable, it is what we become in the process of doing that brings value into our lives. It is activity that converts human dreams into human reality, and that conversion from idea into actuality gives us a personal value that can come from no other source. Jim RohnIt is not enough to possess virtue as if it was an art; It should be practised. Marcus Tullius Cicero Praise and appreciation for the good news make all the difference. We feel stronger and more naturally motivated and there’s less of that needy part of us, always trying to prove ourselves and hoping someone will notice. Jinny DitzlerAwareness brings its own reward. Shifting your attention to what you have accomplished in the past year awakens your “can do! Attitude” and gets you back in touch with your ability to make things happen. Jinny DitzlerPivoting is not the end of the disruption process, but the beginning of the next leg of your journey. Jay Sammit If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much. Jim Rohn Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Are you satisfied with where you are and the direction you are going? If not, take control of your life and change whatever needs to be changed. You and only you have the power to do this. You can change your world!

Friedrich Nietzsche The spinning wheels, rotating egg timers and moving progress bars we regularly see on our screens when using our electronic devices are often misleading. Rather than offering an accurate representation of work being done, they are more often than not simply there to give the impression that something is happening behind the scenes.

It is an aggressive realm - the realm of the ego. I say refuse citizenship. In the land of "I don’t know," the inhabitants move without conflict and are naturally quiet, happy and peaceful. The wise stay here. Mooji Success is a process for all of us, and as long as you are making consistent progress towards your goals - sincerely giving your best effort more often than not - then you are already successful and deserve to feel proud of yourself. Hal Elrod There are two kinds of pride, both good and bad. 'Good pride' represents our dignity and self-respect. 'Bad pride' is the deadly sin of superiority that reeks of conceit and arrogance. John C. Maxwell The truest characters of IGNORANCE are VANITY and PRIDE and ARROGANCE. Samuel Butler Pride is concerned with who is right. Humility is concerned with what is right. Ezra Taft Benson Arrogance really comes from insecurity, and in the end, our feeling that we are BIGGER than others is really the flip side of our feeling that we are SMALLER than others. Desmond Tutu Close some doors today. Not because of pride, incapacity or arrogance, but simply because they lead you nowhere. Paulo Coelho You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you. Dale Carnegie Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves; vanity, to what we would have others think of us.

This episode is about creative scams. That’s scams that are aimed, not at the general public, but specifically at those working in the creative industries. QUOTES:It was the heart of any scam or fiddle -- keep the punter uncertain, or, if he is certain, make him certain of the wrong thing. Terry PratchettWe can all be conned but at what point do we realize that we're being conned and to what point do we allow ourselves to be conned? Guy Ritchie There is no doubt that the Internet brims with spamming, scamming and identity fraud. Having someone wipe out your hard drive or bank account has never been easier, and the tools for committing electronic mischief on your enemies are cheap and widely accessible. Evgeny MorozovWho is going to believe a con artist? Everyone, if she is good. Andy GriffithA lot of hackers set up scam sites. They can impersonate a site like PayPal, for instance. Michael Demon CalceHollywood is largely about scammers and con men. It was my main livelihood for about 25 years, and the scams were beautiful and ugly, cheap and expensive, but, wow, were there a lot of scammers.

This is the 2nd episode of season 4. In this show, I look into what "information overload" actually means in the context of both the coronavirus scare and more generally on our everyday life and I also offer up advice on how to deal with it.

In this episode, the first of season 4, I offer up advice on dealing with anxiety in your day to day life and during the current crisis. This is being released in response to the Covid19 situation. QUOTES:The physical symptoms of fight or flight are what the human body has learned over thousands of years to operate efficiently and at the highest level...anxiety is a cognitive interpretation of that physical response. John Eliot I've had a lot of worries in my life, most of which never happened Mark Twain Anxiety DESTROYS SCALE, and SUFFERING MAKES US LOSE PERSPECTIVE. Saul BellowDavid Carbonell of Anxietycoach.com = THE ANXIETY TRICK. You experience Discomfort and get fooled into treating it like Danger.You can never become a great man or woman until you have overcome anxiety, worry, and fear. It is impossible for an anxious person, a worried one, or a fearful one to perceive TRUTH; all things are distorted and thrown out of their proper relations by such mental states, and those who are in them cannot read the thoughts of God. Wallace D. Wattles  “Wasting brain power ruminating about things you can't control drains mental energy quickly. The more you think about problems you can't solve, the less energy you'll have leftover for more productive endeavors.” Amy Morin The next show #58 will be released in a few days and is about dealing with Information Overload. You can find out more about this show on these links.OFFICIAL WEBSITE: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/TWITTER: @filmproprodpodFACEBOOK: @filmproproductivityCONTACT: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/contact References: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/stress-anxiety-depression/moodzone-mental-wellbeing-audio-guides/https://www.anxietycoach.com/anxietytrick.html Thanks: Music by A HimitsuTrack: Adventures by A Himitsu https://www.soundcloud.com/a-himitsuCreative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported— CC BY 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...Music released by Argofox https://www.youtu.be/8BXNwnxaVQEMusic provided by Audio Library https://www.youtu.be/MkNeIUgNPQ8 Contact the artist: x.jonaz@gmail.comhttps://www.facebook.com/ahimitsuhttps://www.twitter.com/ahimitsu1https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgFwu-j5-xNJml2FtTrrB3A

Today I’ll be tackling a form of behaviour which I see more and more often, and it took me a number of years to realise that BULLIES are as much a part of adult life as they were in school - but I’ve had enough of them, and I have started calling them out when they raise their ugly heads. They don’t like it though. They don’t like it at all....For a full transcript of this episode please go to the official website https://www.filmproproductivity.com/ Quotes:“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” -  Eleanor Roosevelt“Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.” -  Abraham Lincoln“Bullying builds character like nuclear waste creates superheroes. It's a rare occurrence and often does much more damage than good.”  - Zack W. Van“When one person makes an accusation, check to be sure he himself is not the guilty one. Sometimes it is those whose case is weak who make the most clamour.” -  Piers Anthony“One’s dignity may be assaulted, vandalized and cruelly mocked, but it can never be taken away unless it is surrendered.” - Michael J Fox“In too many ways, political correctness has been a bully.” -  Judge Judy Sheindlin“Bullies lose their power if you don’t cower. Deep down, they doubt they deserve your respect. They admire you for speaking with self-assurance and confidence. So when they bombard, don’t counterpunch. Rather, win them over with your strong, firm, courteous demeanour.” And “know that the victim does not intend to be victimized. It does not seek forgiveness, but does not pose a challenge either.” - Amy Cooper Hakim of PSYCHOLOGY TODAYSTAY CONNECTED. “Bullies operate by making their victims feel alone and powerless.” - Signe Whitson“The trick is to remain polite and professional while still setting your limits firmly. Don't let the bully get under your skin—that's what he wants. Practice your response so you're prepared the next time something happens and you can respond swiftly without getting emotional. Keep it simple and straightforward, for example: ‘I won’t be talked to in this way.” - Chrissy Scivicque"Nobody can hurt me without my permission."  — Mahatma Gandhi“In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.” - Martin Luther King Jr“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” Martin Luther King, Jr“The Bully has a Jekyll and Hyde nature - is vile, vicious and vindictive in private, but innocent and charming in front of witnesses; no-one can (or wants to) believe this individual has a vindictive nature - only the current target of the serial bully's aggression sees both sides; whilst the Jekyll side is described as "charming" and convincing enough to deceive personnel, management and a tribunal, the Hyde side is frequently described as "evil"; Hyde is the real person, Jekyll is an act.” -  Tim Field  “My pain may be the reason for somebody's laugh. But my laugh must never be the reason for somebody's pain.” -  Charlie Chaplin  “I would rather be a little nobody, then to be a evil somebody.” -  Abraham Lincoln You can find out more about the show on these links.OFFICIAL WEBSITE: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/TWITTER: @filmproprodpodFACEBOOK: @filmproproductivityCONTACT: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/contact Sources:https://www.topresume.com/career-advice/how-to-handle-bullying-at-workwww.respectme.org.ukhttp://www.mightyfighter.com/bullying-quotes/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Bullying_Dayhttps://www.caba.org.uk/help-and-guides/information/dealing-workplace-bullyinghttps://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/happiness-and-the-pursuit-leadership/201602/bullies-causeMusic: Adventures by A Himitsu https://www.soundcloud.com/a-himitsuCreative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported— CC BY 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...

This is the final episode of this special interconnected series within the series focusing on Napoleon Hill’s powerful book THE LAW OF SUCCESS IN 16 LESSONS. In whatever walk of life you are in, WANTING TO BE SUCCESSFUL is a universal theme that I felt vital to explore here on the show and this book based on Napoleon Hills own lecture tour I felt was the key to it’s delivery. Now if you’ve not yet heard the previous shows on this topic then I’d strongly advise you to go back and listen to episodes 40 through 44 before listening to this one. Seriously, go back now and get listening, or you will not get the best out of this series. The content in these shows has been my interpretation or direct quotation of NAPOLEON HILL’s words from the book with here and there a sprinkling of information gleaned from Hill’s later life. The main change I make in all of this is in neutralising the gender every now and again simply because I want to make the lessons as accessible for today’s audience as Hill intended it to be in 1928. As proven by Lesson 15, Hill was all about tolerance, equality and inclusion and he wouldn’t want his words of 1928 to be misinterpreted as something intolerant to the ear of a 21st-century audience. For a full transcript of this episode please go to the official website https://www.filmproproductivity.com/Quotes: “That which you do not wish for yourself, DO NOT IMPOSE ON OTHERS.” -  Umar“DO NOT DO TO OTHERS what angers you IF DONE TO YOU BY OTHERS.” - Socrates“Nothing in the Golden Rule says that others will treat us as we have treated them. It only says that we must treat others in a way that we would want to be treated.” -  Rosa Parks“It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance.” - Thomas Sowell“When people get used to preferential treatment, equal treatment seems like discrimination.” -  Thomas Sowell You can find out more about the show on these links.OFFICIAL WEBSITE: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/TWITTER: @filmproprodpodFACEBOOK: @filmproproductivityCONTACT: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/contact Sources:PDFKindleOther ReadersAudio1954 Filmhttps://owlcation.com/humanities/The-Law-of-Success-by-Napoleon-Hill-A-Quick-Overview Music: Adventures by A Himitsu https://www.soundcloud.com/a-himitsuCreative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported— CC BY 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...

I wash. Personal hygiene is part of the package with me.” - Jim Carrey“The hands of those I meet are dumbly eloquent to me. The touch of some hands is an impertinence. I have met people so empty of joy, that when I clasped their frosty finger-tips, it seemed as if I were shaking hands with a northeast storm. Others there are whose hands have sunbeams in them, so that their grasp warms my heart. It may be only the clinging touch of a child's hand; but there is as much potential sunshine in it for me as there is in a loving glance for others. A hearty handshake or a friendly letter gives me genuine pleasure.” - Helen Keller“We continue to shape our personality all our life. If we knew ourselves to be perfect, we should die.” -  Albert Camus“Accuracy builds credibility.” -  Jim Rohn“It is fundamentally the confusion between effectiveness and efficiency that stands between doing the right things and doing things right.

Here we are now with part 2 of Napoleon Hill’s powerful book THE LAW OF SUCCESS IN 16 LESSONS, and before I get into it, IF YOU’VE NOT YET HEARD THE PREVIOUS EPISODE, which covers the introduction and the first two lessons in this series then you should really go back and check it out. My aim with this 6 part series within the series is to give you a fleeting glimpse of the power that lies within its pages as I believe that this will OPEN YOUR MIND to the concepts and theories presented within. For a full transcript of this episode please go to the official website https://www.filmproproductivity.com/ Quotes:“With the realization of one’s own POTENTIAL and SELF-CONFIDENCE IN ONE’S ABILITY, one can build a better world.” – The Dalai Lama“The development of self-confidence starts with the elimination of a demon called FEAR, which sits upon your shoulder and whispers into your ear, ‘You can't do it - you are afraid to try - you are afraid of public opinion - you are afraid that you will fail – you are afraid you have not the ability.’" - Napoleon Hill“In truth, no man knows, and no man has ever known, what heaven or hell is like, or if such places exist.” - Napoleon Hill“If you hear a voice within you say ‘you cannot paint,’ then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.” Vincent Van Gogh“The Law of Attraction states that whatever you focus on, think about, read about, and talk about intensely, you’re going to attract more of into your life.” – Jack Canfield“Never spend your money before you have earned it.” Thomas Jefferson“A leader takes people where they want to go. A great leader takes people where they don’t necessarily want to go, but ought to be.” Rosalynn Carter"A good plan implemented today is better than a perfect plan implemented tomorrow." General George Patton“The challenge of leadership is to be strong, but not rude; be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not a BULLY; be thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant; have humour but without folly.” – Jim Rohn"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain You can find out more about the show on these links.OFFICIAL WEBSITE: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/TWITTER: @filmproprodpodFACEBOOK: @filmproproductivityCONTACT: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/contact Sources:https://owlcation.com/humanities/The-Law-of-Success-by-Napoleon-Hill-A-Quick-Overview Music: Adventures by A Himitsu https://www.soundcloud.com/a-himitsuCreative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported— CC BY 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...

Over the next six episodes, I will be introducing you to the concepts and principles which he first presented in his very powerful book THE LAW OF SUCCESS IN 16 LESSONS – It’s the book that his more well-known work Think and Grow Rich was based on as well as many many other self-help books and concepts which we find discussed in productivity circles today - And if you think you’ve got nothing to learn from something written nearly a hundred years ago, then think again. This is potent stuff.  For a full transcript of this episode please go to the official website https://www.filmproproductivity.com/ Quotes:“You cannot push any one up a ladder unless he is willing to climb a little by himself.” -  Andrew Carnegie“Success is a very profound and interesting thing because the line of demarcation between success and failure is so slight that it is often hard to see where one ends and the other begins.” - Napoleon Hill“Humility leads to strength and not to weakness. It is the highest form of self-respect to admit mistakes and to make amends for them.” John J. McCloy"You Can Do It if You Believe You Can!"  - Napoleon Hill“No man has a chance to enjoy permanent success until he begins to look in a mirror for the real cause of all his mistakes.” Napoleon Hill“Suppose your definite chief aim is far above your present station in life. What of it? It is your privilege - nay, your DUTY, to aim high in life.” - Napoleon Hill“It has been found that a group of six or seven salespeople may use the law so effectively that their sales may be increased to unbelievable proportions.” He adds the caveat though that “It is strictly for minds who trust each other and are interested in the good success of all parties involved.” - Napoleon Hill“My default is self-destruction, and anything on top of that is a bloody lot of work.” -  Gillian Anderson You can find out more about the show on these links.OFFICIAL WEBSITE: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/TWITTER: @filmproprodpodFACEBOOK: @filmproproductivityCONTACT: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/contact Sources:THE LAW OF SUCCESS IN 16 LESSONS BOOK: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1j8_UcNFI4ZhHFQq3erYymW12SRKPwO9g/view?usp=sharinghttps://owlcation.com/humanities/The-Law-of-Success-by-Napoleon-Hill-A-Quick-Overviewhttps://youtubemp3.today/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D8EQWhQt9OQo# Music: Adventures by A Himitsu https://www.soundcloud.com/a-himitsuCreative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported— CC BY 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...

Today I’m going into another in my TELL IT LIKE IT IS series of shows which have proven to be very successful in the past – These are episodes where I talk about a problem which it’s likely we may all have come up against but which out of politeness or awkwardness or some other reason we just don’t discuss. This is one which has bit me in the ass a good few times over the years. Before I get into it though, I am increasingly conscious that I may come across as a moaning old git, but I do draw upon my own experiences for these shows and offer them up in good spirit not in the name of negativity but as signposts of danger, and with the hope that through my failures you will prosper. For a full transcript of this episode please go to the official website https://www.filmproproductivity.com/ Quotes:“we should try to repay, in kind, what another person has provided for us.” - RULE OF RECIPROCITY“Our friends are generally ready to do everything for us, except the very thing we wish them to do.”   - William Hazlitt“Giving is the master key to success, in all applications of human life.” - Bryant McGill“Kindness is a passport that opens doors and fashions friends.

In today’s episode, I’m going to be talking once again about HABITS. I’ve gone into them before in episode 13 - HABIT FORMING FOR A BETTER LIFE and I will be coming back to them again. The more you do something, the stronger and more efficient the connection becomes. Habit-forming, you see, is yet another essential part of self-improvement.For a full transcript of this episode please go to the official website https://www.filmproproductivity.com/ Quotes:"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit." - Aristotle“The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” - Aristotle“Habits are formed by the repetition of particular acts. They are strengthened by an increase in the number of repeated acts. Habits are also weakened or broken, and contrary habits are formed by the repetition of contrary acts.” - Mortimer J. Adler“Never remember to floss? Work it into your existing habits by flossing right before brushing your teeth. Assuming you're remembering to do that one that is...” - Esquire magazine“The goal here is to chip away at a simple but time-consuming project in five to fifteen-minute daily increments.” - Steven Scott“Motivation is what gets you started.

I talked about A SENSE OF URGENCY last season in my episode entitled DRIVE, but for me, it’s really one of the cornerstones of productivity itself. John Kotter’s quote there says it very well. This is not about panic, anxiety or fear (although you may have to fight them off a wee bit along the way) it’s about killing complacency and replacing it with something else. An "inner energy" that drives your forward, to complete on your plans, to hit deadlines and to achieve great things. For a full transcript of this episode please go to the official website https://www.filmproproductivity.com/ Quotes:“A higher rate of urgency does not imply ever-present panic, anxiety, or fear. It means a state in which COMPLACENCY is virtually absent.” - Professor of Leadership at the Harvard Business School, John P. Kotter“If your bias for action is to put it off till tomorrow then you need to start reprogramming yourself and get rid of that delaying crutch. Change up your tempo to something a bit more lively, and as I’ve warned many times before - don’t wait for the planets to get into just the right alignment before you move – if you do that, THE RIGHT TIME will slip through your fingertips. BUILD MOMENTUM – remember it’s much easier to keep a body in motion than it is to initiate that motion.” - BRYAN TRACY“Everyone should have a sense of urgency – it is getting a lot done in a short period of time in a calm, confident manner.”  - Bob Proctor You can find out more about the show on these links.OFFICIAL WEBSITE: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/TWITTER: @filmproprodpodFACEBOOK: @filmproproductivityCONTACT: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/contact Sources:https://bizfluent.com/facts-5879843-sense-urgency-definition.htm Music: Adventures by A Himitsu https://www.soundcloud.com/a-himitsuCreative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported— CC BY 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...

All you can hope is that they won't be too expensive and that you don't make the same mistake twice.” -  Lee Iacocca  “You cannot expect to live a positive life if you hang with negative people so when things don’t go as planned, you may want to look at who you are working with before you start over – without them.” - Joel Osteen“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” - Albert Einstein“We are products of our past, but we don't have to be prisoners of it.” -  Rick Warren“Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.” - Henry Ford You can find out more about the show on these links.OFFICIAL WEBSITE: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/TWITTER: @filmproprodpodFACEBOOK: @filmproproductivityCONTACT: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/contact Sources:http://www.wiseoldsayings.com/negative-people-quotes/https://www.azquotes.com/quotes/topics/failure.htmlhttp://www.wiseoldsayings.com/negative-people-quotes/ Today’s show is brought to you by the HOW THEY DID IT, FILMMAKING podcast. Music: Adventures by A Himitsu https://www.soundcloud.com/a-himitsuCreative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported— CC BY 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...

(Edit August 2020 - I should have called this "Start With What You've Got" as it's a little less film-specific.) This lesson can be applied to any endeavour.This week I’m postulating on why many of us spend so much time chasing after the next shiny new thing, whether that’s a bit of technology or whatever, or feel we have to wait for the planets to come into JUST the right alignment before we can even consider getting out there and doing something that we really want to do. For filmmakers, and I’ve discussed this several times with Ian O’Neill from the How They Did It Filmmaking Podcast, this comes down to the topic of just shooting with what you’ve got. That’s using the locations, contacts, equipment and cameras that you have easy access to, and not forever procrastinating over it.For a full transcript of this episode please go to the official website https://www.filmproproductivity.com/ Quotes:“Every director has at least 10 bad films in them.”  - Robert Rodriguez“the first draft of everything is shit.” - Ernest Hemingway“The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one.”“There is no failure except in no longer trying.” - American writer, publisher, artist, and philosopher Elbert Hubbard“Failures are finger posts on the road to achievement.” - C.S. Lewis“Most great people have attained their greatest success just one step beyond their greatest failure.” - Napoleon Hill“Fear of failure is a ticket to mediocrity. If you’re not failing from time to time, you’re not pushing yourself. And if you’re not pushing yourself, you’re coasting.” - Eric Zorn“Happiness is like a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.” - Nathaniel Hawthorne   “Success is getting what you want; happiness is wanting what you get.” - Canadian novelist W.P. Kinsella“I always say shopping is cheaper than a psychiatrist.” - Tammy Faye BakkerRobert Rodriguez says “Creativity, not money, is used to solve problems.”He famously said in his 10-minute film school video which I’ll link to in the show notes, but he said “Don’t dream about being a filmmaker, You are a filmmaker. Now let’s get down to business.” And he says “…get experience, you’ll learn more from picking up a camera from your own mistakes than you will learn about it in film school.”, and if that doesn’t short circuit your fear of failure excuses then I don’t know what will.Herman Melville “It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation.” I say it is through originality, that you will truly find success and ultimately happiness.It's easier making a smaller film like El Mariachi. There are no budget worries because there is no budget. There is no crew problem because there is no crew. And if you screw up, no one is around to see you screw up -- so it's no longer a screw up …So don't give me any money, don't give me any people, but give freedom, and I'll give you a movie that looks gigantic.” - Robert Rodriguez You can find out more about the show on these links.OFFICIAL WEBSITE: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/TWITTER: @filmproprodpodFACEBOOK: @filmproproductivityCONTACT: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/contact Sources:http://www.experian.com/blogs/news/about/retail-therapy/https://psychcentral.com/blog/why-you-shouldnt-try-to-keep-up-with-the-joneses/https://centsiblyrich.com/6-ways-to-stop-your-desire-to-keep-up-with-the-joneses/https://www.self.com/story/the-dangers-of-retail-therapyhttps://www.raindance.org/robert-rodriguezs-make-film-youve-got-method/http://www.openculture.com/2014/08/director-robert-rodriguez-teaches-the-basics-of-filmmaking-in-under-10-minutes.html REBEL WITHOUT A CREWUS: https://amzn.to/2NoQ1TcUK: https://amzn.to/2SYfIQr Music: Adventures by A Himitsu https://www.soundcloud.com/a-himitsuCreative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported— CC BY 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...

Today I’m tackling a subject which I think every one of us faces at least every now and again. It’s one of a series of episodes where I TELL IT LIKE IT IS. The SERIES 1 TIMEWASTERS episode was in the same vein and hugely popular and generated a lot of activity on social media and I suspect that my episode of a few weeks ago – COLLABO-HATERS will go down just as well. Today I will be talking about all different forms of TOXIC people, advising you how to SPOT them, how to AVOID them and how to get rid of them.For a full transcript of this episode please go to the official website https://www.filmproproductivity.com/ Quotes:“Toxic people attach themselves like cinder blocks tied to your ankles, and then invite you for a swim in their poisoned waters.” I found that quote on Tumblr and it’s by John Mark Green.“An energy vampire can never “steal” energy from us unless we consciously or unconsciously permit them to.” ― Mateo Sol“Just because some people are fuelled by drama doesn't mean you have to attend the performance.”  - Personal coach Cheryl Richardson“Manipulators use diversion tactics such as, not giving a straight answer or steering the conversation to another topic.” - Author, Sarah Nielsen"Watch out for those types who deliberately tear other people down. One day, they will tear you down too," cautions writer Nurjean Chaneco. “It’s amazing how quickly things can turn around when you remove toxic people from your life.” - Robert Tew You can find out more about the show on these links.OFFICIAL WEBSITE: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/TWITTER: @filmproprodpodFACEBOOK: @filmproproductivityCONTACT: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/contact Sources:https://www.scienceofpeople.com/toxic-people/https://list25.com/25-types-of-toxic-people-you-should-avoid/https://www.psychologytoday.com/gb/blog/the-truisms-wellness/201611/the-5-types-people-you-need-get-out-your-lifehttps://www.psychologytoday.com/gb/blog/communication-success/201406/how-spot-and-stop-manipulatorshttps://thepowerofsilence.co/5-manipulative-tactics-toxic-people-use-to-defeat-you-and-shut-you-up/ Music: Adventures by A Himitsu https://www.soundcloud.com/a-himitsu Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported— CC BY 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...

Today’s show is all about KILLING THE MICROWAVE MINDSET and replacing it with something much more realistic.

Develop a sense of urgency in your life.” - American author H Jackson Brown Jr“Everyone should have a sense of urgency – it is getting a lot done in a short period of time in a calm and confident manner.” - Bob Proctor“We have to live life with a sense of urgency so not a minute is wasted.” - Les Brown“Success requires both urgency and patience.

On this week’s show, I talk about RUMINATING. I mentioned it in passing on THE INNER CRITIC episode 6 but I expand on it here and offer solutions. Rumination can take over your mind, kill your creativity, bring you down, make you paranoid and kill your love for life. It’s a nasty, nasty piece of work.For a full transcript of this episode please go to the official website https://www.filmproproductivity.com/ Quotes:Karen Lang - “A year from now you may wish you had started today.”The Cambridge dictionary describes rumination simply as “the act of thinking carefully and for a long period about something”“Overthinking is best known as creating problems that are never there.” - CEO David Sikhosana“I’m tired of being inside my head. I want to live out here, with you” - author Colleen McCarty“If you're not happy today, then you won't be happy tomorrow unless you take things into your own hands and take action.” - Professor Lyburmirskyl You can find out more about the show on these links.OFFICIAL WEBSITE: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/TWITTER: @filmproprodpodFACEBOOK: @filmproproductivityCONTACT: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/contact Sources:https://psychcentral.com/blog/the-reasons-we-ruminate-and-how-to-reduce-the-cycle/https://www.healthline.com/health/how-to-stop-ruminating https://www.psychologytoday.com/gb/blog/overcoming-self-sabotage/201002/rumination-problem-solving-gone-wronghttps://www.everydayhealth.com/depression/depression-and-ruminative-thinking.aspx Music: Adventures by A Himitsu https://www.soundcloud.com/a-himitsu Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported— CC BY 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...

This week I’ll be talking about another topic which every one of us likely suffers from, from time to time - PROCRASTINATION. We’ll look at what it is and its causes and list a few techniques and tricks that can be used to burn it to the ground and let you move forward with what you have to do.For a full transcript of this episode please go to the official website https://www.filmproproductivity.com/ Quotes:“You may delay, but time will not.” - Benjamin Franklin“You can't just turn on creativity like a faucet. You have to be in the right mood. What mood is that? Last-minute panic.” - American cartoonist Bill WattersonMy favourite quote on this topic, which is attributed to Ernest Hemingway and I use very often is that “the first draft of everything is shit” “It is easier to resist at the beginning than at the end.”  - Leonardo da Vinci “Procrastination is the thief of time, collar him.” - David Copperfield by Charles Dickens  “The thing all writers do best is find ways to avoid writing.” - Alan Dean Foster“Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom.” - Thomas JeffersonAmerican author, Janet Dailey - “SOMEDAY is not a day of the week.” You can find out more about the show on these links.OFFICIAL WEBSITE: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/TWITTER: @filmproprodpodFACEBOOK: @filmproproductivityCONTACT: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/contact Sources:https://www.psychologytoday.com/gb/blog/in-the-age-anxiety/201301/get-it-done-in-2013-how-overcome-procrastination Music: Adventures by A Himitsu https://www.soundcloud.com/a-himitsu Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported— CC BY 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...

On today’s show, I will be talking about a subject that no one ever seems to discuss but it’s one that creatives have to endure perhaps more often than most. Whereas I can admit that sometimes collaborating on a venture can be awesome, there are times when it just ISN’T a good idea for productivity or for your sanity or career or goals or bank balance to do so. I’ll also discuss specific types of collaborator that you MUST learn to avoid.For a full transcript of this episode please go to the official website https://www.filmproproductivity.com/ Quotes:“When I was a kid, there was no collaboration; it's you with a camera bossing your friends around. But as an adult, filmmaking is all about appreciating the talents of the people you surround yourself with and knowing you could never have made any of these films by yourself.” - Steven SpielbergHarry Truman once said that "It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit."James McAvoy - “Filmmaking is a miracle of collaboration.”Indian spiritual master, Amit Ray - “Collaboration has no hierarchy. The Sun collaborates with soil to bring flowers on the earth." You can find out more about the show on these links.OFFICIAL WEBSITE: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/TWITTER: @filmproprodpodFACEBOOK: @filmproproductivityCONTACT: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/contact Sources:https://www.smartsheet.com/collaborative-teamworkhttps://dynamicecology.wordpress.com/2017/08/22/bad-coauthors-how-to-avoid-them-and-what-to-do-when-you-have-one/https://www.inc.com/jeff-haden/oprah-winfrey-uses-same-3-sentences-to-get-every-meeting-off-to-perfect-start.htmlhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucalufZoCYY Music: Adventures by A Himitsu https://www.soundcloud.com/a-himitsu Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported— CC BY 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...

Today we’ll be delving into a business productivity system called the 4 DISCIPLINES OF EXECUTION aka the 4DX which I believe will be applicable to the world of creatives like film pros.For a full transcript of this episode please go to the official website https://www.filmproproductivity.com/ Quotes:“Stay focused - go after your dreams and keep moving toward your goals.” - LL Cool JThe book THE FOUR DISCIPLINES OF EXECUTION says “The real enemy of execution is your day job! We call it the whirlwind. It’s the massive amount of energy that’s necessary just to keep your operation going on a day‐to‐day basis; and, ironically, it’s also the thing that makes it so hard to execute anything new. The whirlwind robs from you the focus required to move your team forward.”And it goes on to say that “The whirlwind is urgent and it acts on you and everyone working for you every minute of every day. The goals you’ve set for moving forward are important, but when urgency and importance clash, urgency will win every time."Jim Huling says that “Execution starts with focus.” and Jim Rohn said “Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.” - Discipline #1 is THE DISCIPLINE OF FOCUS. The first discipline requires sustaining the whirlwind at its current level while you advance towards what it calls one WILDLY IMPORTANT GOAL or WIG - W.I.G. A Wildly Important Goal, it actually says one or two but let’s keep it simple –remember the more you try to get done, the lower the odds of success of each of the goals you seek to achieve.The book says “Once you stop worrying about everything else going backwards, you can start moving forward on your WIG.”The book also says If you ignore the urgent, it can kill you today. It’s also true, however, that if you ignore the important, it can kill you tomorrow.Dwight D. Eisenhower said that “What is important is seldom urgent and what is urgent is seldom important.”Author Catherine Pulsifer said “at the end of the day we are accountable to ourselves - our success is a result of what we do.“Productivity is never an accident. It is always the result of a commitment to excellence, intelligent planning, and focused effort.” - Paul J. Meyer You can find out more about the show on these links.OFFICIAL WEBSITE: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/TWITTER: @filmproprodpodFACEBOOK: @filmproproductivityCONTACT: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/contact Sources:THE FOUR DISCIPLINES OF EXECUTIONUS: https://amzn.to/2H0PNQUUK: https://amzn.to/2EuoVHuhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEJDliThj7ghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADORZuvw9pwhttps://www.thesimpledollar.com/separating-the-urgent-and-the-important/ Thanks: A Himitsu Music: Adventures by A Himitsu https://www.soundcloud.com/a-himitsu Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported— CC BY 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...

Today I am going to be talking about Mental Energy and why ABOVE ALL THINGS it must be protected. I’ll talk about what it is, how to ensure it isn’t wasted and the huge difference that protecting it will make to your life.For a full transcript of this episode please go to the official website https://www.filmproproductivity.com/ Quotes:“Mental energy is the world’s hottest commodity. People are going to try to steal it, drain it, and suck it up every second you’re awake. Yet very few of us protect it. Few of us know how.” - Isaiah Hankel“Our fatigue is often caused not by work, but by worry, frustration and resentment.” - Dale Carnegie“Mental energy is YOUR MOST VALUABLE ASSET. Without it, you won’t have the enthusiasm, motivation, drive, and physical energy to live a full rich life. - The problem is this asset DEPRECIATES RAPIDLY every day.” - Isaiah Hankel“Taking back your mental energy is not a cakewalk. It’s a dogfight.” Says Isaiah Hankel“Your mental energy is going to plummet throughout the day, certainly. But that’s not a bad thing. It’s only bad if it’s being wasted on people and activities that are pivoting you away from true success. Be selective and start saving your most valuable resource—mental energy—for the best things in life, not the worst.” Isaiah HankelArthur Somers Roche - “Worry is a thin stream of fear trickling through the mind. If encouraged, it cuts a channel into which all other thoughts are drained.”You can find out more about the show on these links.OFFICIAL WEBSITE: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/TWITTER: @filmproprodpodFACEBOOK: @filmproproductivityCONTACT: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/contact Sources:THE SCIENCE OF INTELLIGENT ACHIEVEMENTUS: https://amzn.to/2VgMR6M UK: https://amzn.to/2VfxVG3https://welldoing.org/article/why-mental-energy-is-your-most-valuable-assethttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJvTloFVqtshttps://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/8067675.Isaiah_Hankelhttps://buddhaimonia.com/blog/10-daily-rituals-that-will-increase-your-physical-and-mental-energyhttps://www.lifehack.org/articles/productivity/15-ways-boost-mental-energy-levels.html Music: Adventures by A Himitsu https://www.soundcloud.com/a-himitsu Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported— CC BY 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...

Hello and welcome to this preseason mini-episode of the show which continues to do well and today the figures say that it’s actually up 11.8% over the previous 14 days of downloads. I’ve been working very hard to ensure that the new season is filled with awesome, mind-expanding and motivational PRODUCTIVITY ADVICE, not just for film pros, but which is largely accessible to all.I have been preparing  12 new episodes which will officially launch on the 24th of this month with episode 17. That show looks at what fuels our INNER DRIVE and gives us momentum.The season will as before be released at 7pm on Sunday nights we will run right through till mid-May.Episode 18 is called Protecting Your Mental Energy and looks specifically at how protecting that finite resource will make a vast difference to your life.Episode 19 investigates how to act on the plans and strategies that you have put together to move forward. Many of your strategies will fall down in their execution but there are ways to combat this.Episode 20 talks about how sometimes, collaborating with other creatives can be a complete nightmare. It details the problems that can arise and how to get around them.Episode 21 tackles that most common of productivity problems PROCRASTINATION. It talks about what it is, why it happens and how to deal with it.Cracking on with Episode 22 I raise a subject, not often discussed but one which can really mess up your creativity and your mental health. That episode is all about the nasty piece of work we call RUMINATION.In Episode 23 I dive headlong into a top which is plaguing the modern age and is known as the MICROWAVE MINDSET. I’ll talk about how the fast and furious way of doing things is not always the best strategy and why slow and steady, oo err missus, wins the day.Episode 24 is all about TOXIC PERSONALITY TYPES and is another in my very popular series of TELL IT HOW IT IS episodes. Just like my season 1 episode TIMEWASTERS and HOW TO DEAL WITH THEM and Episode 21 BAD COLLABORATORS (Which I laughingly call collabo-haters btw) shows, I’ll investigate 6 archetypes of toxic personality and give you a foolproof solution on how to deal with them.Another popular episode from last year was my one on productivity apps. Episode 25 follows this up with a number of suggestions for browser plugins which will strengthen your productivity at absolutely no cost.I think I’m going to change my Episode 26 topic to that of SHOOT WITH WHAT YOU’VE GOT. I’ve still to record episodes 25-28 so I reserve that right as I batch record these episodes before the season launches to ensure their delivery. At the moment it’s on my board as Jealousy, Anger and Regret, but I think that may sit better in Season 3.Episode 27 is a follow up to the season one Episode 5 Awesome Apps to make you more productive and is called, wait for it, 5 more awesome (and mostly fee) apps to make you more productive. I didn’t know how those eps would be received but they are remarkably popular so I’ll keep on going with them.The season will end with Episode 28 in which I think I’m going to present a good old motivational speech. Now I reserve the right to change my mind and I have a Plan B backup topic of the 16 Laws of Success. You’ll just have to wait and see.John Green says in Paper Towns that “The pleasure isn't in doing the thing, the pleasure is in planning it.” It’s a total party here at my end making some 3 and a half hours of solo content, NOT, but I do it all for you.Please stand by for the new season. It’ll be with you before you know it.Mark Twain said that to succeed in life you need two things. Ignorance and Confidence. I have both in spades.And Abraham Lincoln’s perhaps most famous quote, as I see it anyway, is “Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.”I’m still sharpening the axe here, but the 1st episode of episode of season 2 will be my first swing at the tree. I hope you’ll join me by spreading the word, subscribing and leaving an awesome review.You can follow the show on Twitter @filmproprodpod and on Facebook @filmproproductivity. You can also get in touch using the filmproproductivity.com contact page. If you have any requests for future episode topics please do drop me a line or use the speak pipe recorder on the contact page and leave me a voice mail.I should probably end this episode by saying something positive.I’ll use the words of Lyndon B. Johnson“Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose.”Now take control of your own destiny, keep on shootin’, get your productivity socks on and stand by for Season 2, of film pro productivity!Thanks: A HimitsuMusic: Adventures by A Himitsu https://www.soundcloud.com/a-himitsu Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported— CC BY 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...

You become what you think about the most.”Mark Twain wrote that: “To live a fulfilled life, we need to keep creating the "what is next", of our lives. Without dreams and goals there is no living, only merely existing, and that is not why we are here.I’ll follow up the SMART system by urging you to write your goals down. MINDTOOLS.com makes this point a follows.“The physical act of writing down a goal makes it real and tangible. You have no excuse for forgetting about it.”Booker T. Washington said that “You measure the size of the accomplishment by the obstacles you have to overcome to reach your goals.”“You are never too old to set a new goal or to dream a new dream.” Having goals is for everyone, it’s not just a game for the young.” - CS Lewis You can find out more about the show on these links.OFFICIAL WEBSITE: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/TWITTER: @filmproprodpodFACEBOOK: @filmproproductivityCONTACT: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/contact Sources:https://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/newHTE_90.htmhttps://www.entrepreneur.com/article/287870https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zLtfzsaP58https://www.mindtools.com/page6.html Your Best Year Yet!

This week I am talking about multitasking and why it’s a bad thing for productivity. You’ve likely heard the old adage that HE WHO CHASES TWO RABBITS, CATCHES NEITHER – or maybe you prefer SHE WHO CHASES MANY RABBITS CATCHES NONE. Simply doing one thing at a time is the most direct way to be EFFICIENT and ultimately PRODUCTIVE in what you set out to do. If you “chase too many rabbits” or too many “goals and objectives” simultaneously then you will likely find that you end up with none of them at all.For a full transcript of this episode please go to the official website https://www.filmproproductivity.com/Quotes: Concentrating on a single task is one aspect of something called FLOW, or the FLOW state of mind. WIKIPEDIA says about this, quote “In positive psychology, flow, also known as being in THE ZONE, is the mental state of operation in which a person performing an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity. In essence, flow is characterized by complete absorption in what one does, and a resulting loss in one's sense of space and time.” Put simply then, if you are jumping about you really will never hit any sort of flow.New York Times Columnist David Brooks points out that “A person who is interrupted while performing a task takes 50% more time to complete it and make 50% more errors.”You can find out more about the show on these links.OFFICIAL WEBSITE: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/TWITTER: @filmproprodpodFACEBOOK: @filmproproductivityCONTACT: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/contact Sources: https://www.forbes.com/sites/lisaquast/2017/02/06/want-to-be-more-productive-stop-multi-tasking/#59de681955a6https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_(psychology)#0https://www.ics.uci.edu/~gmark/chi08-mark.pdfhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4bmWPM_LWU Music: Adventures by A Himitsu https://www.soundcloud.com/a-himitsu Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported— CC BY 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...

On this show I’m going to squeeze in 4 more productivity “rules” that I know will make your life easier and continue to help you to beat procrastination and just get things done. I’m talking about the one-touch rule, and it’s close cousin the two minute, then I will move on to the 5-minute rule and the 10-minute rule. These rules have much in common but if you can get to grips with them individually they’ll help you to decimate your task lists and kick procrastination right in the mammy daddy button.For a full transcript of this episode please go to the official website https://www.filmproproductivity.com/Quotes:Procrastination is one of the most common and deadliest of diseases and its toll on success and happiness is heavy. Wayne Gretzky a Canadian Athlete came up with that one and I love it, but more commonly I hear“Never put off till tomorrow what may be done day after tomorrow just as well.”― Mark TwainYou can find out more about the show on these links.OFFICIAL WEBSITE: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/TWITTER: @filmproprodpodFACEBOOK: @filmproproductivityCONTACT: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/contact Sources: https://lifehacker.com/stop-leaving-tasks-half-finished-with-the-one-touch-ru-1626933101https://jamesclear.com/how-to-stop-procrastinatinghttps://www.themuse.com/advice/the-10minute-rule-it-seems-crazy-but-it-will-revolutionize-your-productivityhttps://qz.com/work/999979/the-five-minute-trick-that-helps-instagrams-ceo-crush-procrastination/   Music: Adventures by A Himitsu https://www.soundcloud.com/a-himitsu Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported— CC BY 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...
