Willie NelsonDon't respond to negativity with more negativity. Just put your head down and prove your critics wrong.

Lee LacoccaJust one small positive thought in the morning can change your whole day. Dalai LamaThere is a basic law that like attracts like. Negative thinking attracts negative results.

Cal NewportWhat we choose to focus on and what we choose to ignore—plays in defining the quality of our life. 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. Yet, results indicate it is difficult for people to transition their attention away from an unfinished task and their subsequent task performance suffers.

DIVING INTO DEEP WORK - EPISODE 146

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. It's well demonstrated by this quote "You wouldn't worry so much about what others think of you if you realized how seldom they do." Eleanor RooseveltFor 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:You wouldn't worry so much about what others think of you if you realized how seldom they do. 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.

The Cambridge Dictionary describes a useful idiot as a person who is easy to persuade to do, say, or believe things that help a particular group or another person politically. 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. It suggests too that they are being manipulated or used by others for their own agenda.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:Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.

DON'T BE A USEFUL IDIOT - Episode 142

Albert Einstein famously said that the definition of Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

THREE MORE PEARLS OF INVALUABLE WISDOM - Episode 140

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.

MALICE or INCOMPETENCE - Episode 138

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?

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.

Jeffrey Gitomer My whole thing is, haters are gonna hate, but haters are also going to click on your YouTube video just to watch it, so I don't really care. You helped me break the record. Even if you were watching just to hate on me, and now I hold the record, so I win. Miley CyrusHaters, critics and naysayers. Anyone on the path to success has them and must learn to stay motivated, despite the criticism or discouragement. The OraclesWatch out for those types who deliberately tear other people down. One day, they will tear you down too. Nurjean Chaneco The things most people want to know about are usually none of their business. George Bernard ShawJustice means minding one's own business and not meddling with other men's concerns. PlatoSometimes, when you want to make a difference in a person's life, stay out of it.

EVEN MORE TOXIC ARCHETYPES - Episode 129

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.

10 THOUGHTS ON SOCIAL MEDIA - Episode 128

I was tempted to do two episodes, one called why you should work for free and then another called why you shouldn’t work for free but I thought better of it and here we are.

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.

LIST YOUR WEAKNESSES - Episode 127

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.

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.

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.

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.

THE PROPHET ISN'T RECOGNIZED IN HIS OWN LAND - Episode 110

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. They are unaware that they do not have the necessary capabilities.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:The biggest idiot you will meet in life will be the person that thinks they know it all.Christopher JonesA little knowledge is a dangerous thing - it only hastens fools to rush in where angels fear to tread.

NEVER PLAY TO THE GALLERY - Episode 101

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.

10 PRODUCTIVITY SUPERPOWERS - Episode 100

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.

Generally, when I talk about opening and closing doors I am talking in terms of taking on too many things.

OPENING AND CLOSING DOORS - Episode 98

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 become great, you must choose to allocate your time to your greatest opportunities. You will have to choose to spend time on the difficult things that create your biggest payoffs. 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.

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.

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?

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.
