Film Pro Productivity & Success: Recent Episodes
Carter Ferguson
A solo productivity podcast presented by veteran film professional Carter Ferguson. If you are a creative person and would like to become more efficient and effective in your life and work, and ultimately happier, then this is the show for you.
AI is everywhere right now, but most of the conversation sits at the extremes.
This episode looks at what actually happens when you try to use AI inside a real creative workflow.
Based on a year of daily use, this is a practical report on where AI genuinely saves time, where it actively damages creative momentum, and why judgement, process, and human oversight still matter more than efficiency.
“AI doesn’t fix incompetence. It amplifies it.” Carter Ferguson

Hard work isn’t usually the problem. Unclear thinking is.
When ideas are vague, assumptions go unchallenged, and decisions drift, effort multiplies and momentum leaks away. In this episode, I break down five questions that cut through unclear thinking and stop creative work stalling.
These aren’t techniques or hacks. They’re tools for pressure-testing ideas, tightening decisions, and reclaiming time that gets burned on confusion.
“One clear question, asked at the right moment, can save weeks of wasted work.” Carter Ferguson

Time isn’t something you manage. It’s something you run out of.
And most productivity advice avoids that truth because it’s uncomfortable. In this episode, I break down nine lessons from Oliver Burkeman’s Four Thousand Weeks and look at what finite time really means for creative people.
This isn’t about doing more. It’s about choosing better, accepting limits, and focusing on what actually matters while you still can.
“You can’t do it all. The real work is deciding what not to do.” Carter Ferguson

When should you push through, and when is quitting the smarter move?
This episode looks at Bean Soup Theory, a simple metaphor for why capable people stay stuck in projects that stopped making sense long ago. Using Batgirl as a real-world example, I unpack sunk cost thinking, drift, and why finishing something that’s wrong doesn’t make it right.
This is about judgement, not grit, and learning to stop without turning effort into obligation.
Finishing something that’s wrong doesn’t make it right. It just makes it finished. Carter Ferguson

Oversharing can feel like honesty, progress, even connection. But more often than not, it trades short-term relief for long-term problems we don’t see coming.
In this episode, I look at why creatives talk too soon, how oversharing leaks power, creates professional risk, and undermines momentum, and why learning to keep your powder dry is one of the most important skills for staying effective long term.
“Oversharing isn’t honesty. It’s often anxiety looking for relief.” Carter Ferguson

Busyness feels productive. It isn’t. Most of the time it’s just noise, distraction, and bad yeses stacking up over years.
In this episode, I look at why doing more is often the thing that quietly kills creative momentum. Using Warren Buffett as an unlikely guide, I break down six practical lessons about time, restraint, and long-term survivability. This isn’t about money or hustle. It’s about protecting attention, avoiding self-inflicted mistakes, and building a creative life that still works a decade from now.
Busyness often hides uncertainty, not effectiveness. Carter Ferguson

Unfinished business rarely looks dramatic. It looks sensible, cautious, even responsible. But beneath the surface, it quietly drains energy, attention, and belief. In this episode, I unpack why half-finished projects, unresolved endings, and drifting commitments cost far more than we realise. This isn’t about laziness or motivation. It’s about self-protection, disappointment, and how unfinished work reshapes how we think, decide, and create.
Trying less isn’t laziness. It’s often a response to being burned too many times. Carter Ferguson

Why do groups make bad decisions even when everyone involved is intelligent and well-intentioned?
This episode uses The Traitors as a pressure test for real human behaviour. By stripping away politeness and certainty, it reveals how trust forms, how beliefs harden, and why productivity often collapses in groups under pressure.
The focus isn’t the TV show itself, but what it exposes about information, bias, emotional control, and short-term thinking – and how misunderstanding these patterns quietly drains energy at work and in life. QUOTE

Why does knowing what to do still not translate into doing it?
In part two of this two-part series, the focus shifts from diagnosing the intelligence trap to dealing with it. This episode looks at how systems, attention, and environment matter more than motivation or willpower when it comes to sustained productivity.
Rather than pushing harder, the episode explores how to redirect intelligence by changing structure, protecting attention, and designing conditions where progress becomes the default instead of a daily fight.
“Motivation is unreliable. Systems are what keep work moving when energy drops.”

Why do smart, capable people struggle to follow through?
In part one of a two-part series, this episode looks at the intelligence trap - the way thinking, analysis, and complexity can quietly replace action. Drawing on ideas from Isaiah Hankel and real creative experience, it explores how depleted mental energy, busyness, and fragmented attention undermine productivity, even when motivation and ability are high.
This episode isn’t about fixing anything yet. It’s about noticing what drains your energy, what work expands when focus collapses, and how intelligence can start working against progress instead of supporting it.
“Smart people don’t stall because they lack discipline. They stall because they see too much.”

In this episode, I explore why finishing creative projects feels so difficult, especially as time, energy, and resources become more limited. Building on the idea of momentum, I introduce the concept of High Impact Actions — small, focused steps that genuinely move work forward instead of draining attention through endless to-do lists. Drawing on insights from thinkers like Cal Newport, Andy Grove, and James Clear, I explain how choosing clarity, leverage, and focus over volume helps creative people manage friction, protect energy, and actually complete the work that matters.

This episode looks at how toxic people can subtly undermine creative drive. Focusing on subtle human interference rather than platforms or technology, it breaks down a series of toxic archetypes that drain momentum, shut down thinking, and make effort feel risky. The episode explores why productivity collapses in certain environments and why distance, not debate, is often the most effective response.

For creatives and freelancers, time and attention are our most valuable resources. In this New Year special, I dig into the idea of enshittification - how online platforms slowly shift from serving users to extracting value from them - and why social media, algorithms, and subscription-based systems are quietly undermining creative focus, ambition, and long-term work.
This episode is about recognising the trap that today’s platforms have set, stepping away from systems that no longer serve you, and refocusing your energy on work that actually matters - work that is significant, honest, and genuinely representative of you as a creative.

Not all clients are good clients. Some clients cost more in time, energy, and stress than they’re worth, holding back your business and creativity. You see, for me – and I’ve done a whole show on this topic – our time, energy, and creativity are our most valuable resources. But what happens when certain clients drain all three—and don’t pay enough to make it worth it? This episode will focus on identifying toxic or low-value clients, explaining why you should let them go, and providing actionable steps on how to do it professionally.

Gamification is the process of turning tasks or goals into a game-like experience by adding rewards, challenges, or milestones. It can make freelancing less isolating and perhaps a bit more fun. It involves integrating aspects of game design, such as points, badges, leaderboards, challenges, or levels, into various activities, tasks, or processes.

* Gamification is just a buzzword for what good games have been doing all along: providing meaningful experiences. Ian Bogost*

Creatives fail because they overthink and delay action, don’t prioritise effectively, and try to do everything alone. These habits create a cycle of inactivity, overwhelm, and burnout—but they’re all fixable.

In productivity terms "You reap what you sow” means that the effort you put into your tasks or projects directly influences the results you achieve. Essentially, the more effort, focus, and hard work you invest in your endeavours, the better outcomes and rewards you'll experience. So, by that reckoning it also means the opposite - if you put in minimal effort or neglect your tasks, you're likely to experience sub-par results and failure.

* Success compounds over time—what you do consistently determines your outcome. James Allen
* It is not the decision you make that is most important; it is the degree of commitment with which you make the decision. Bo Bennett
* Life is an echo. What you send out, comes back. What you sow, you reap. What you give, you get. What you see in others, exists in you. Zig Ziglar

QUOTES:
- Choose not to be harmed, and you won't feel harmed. Don't feel harmed, and you haven't been. Marcus Aurelius
- My motto is water off a duck's back. Meaning: don't let negativity weigh you down, perpetuate positive thinking. Jinkx Monsoon
- You cannot have a positive life and a negative mind. Joyce Meyer
- Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you'll start having positive results. Willie Nelson
- Don't respond to negativity with more negativity. Just put your head down and prove your critics wrong. Frank Sinatra

Things changed when my phone outsmarted me. Once Facebook had a permanent place in my pocket, it became a permanent portal—able to transport me away from my family. Even if we were physically in the same room, I wasn’t necessarily there with them. Facebook was no longer simply a naptime vacation but an all-day form of escapism. Wendy Speake
A red flag is if you’re losing interest in being social in person because you’d rather just connect with people online. Kai-Rai Prewitt

QUOTES:
If you don’t produce, you won’t thrive—no matter how skilled or talented you are. Cal Newport
What we choose to focus on and what we choose to ignore—plays in defining the quality of our life. Cal Newport
I 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 Newport
People 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. Cal Newport
[Great creative minds] think like artists but work like accountants. Cal Newport
Clarity about what matters provides clarity about what does not. Cal Newport

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 Roosevelt

QUOTES:
You wouldn't worry so much about what others think of you if you realized how seldom they do. Eleanor Roosevelt
Self-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. Tom Hodgkinson
I am forever grateful that I got some training in the theatre - it reduces performance anxiety. Julia Stiles
If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of car payments. Earl Wilson

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.

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

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.”

QUOTES:
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?

QUOTES:
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 Proctor
If 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 Robbins
If you accept a limiting belief, then it will become a truth for you. Louise Hay

We're often judged by how we do in times of crisis and it’s something that over the years I have become better and better at. It’s a skill, and it’s something that can be learned.

QUOTES:
Times of crisis, of disruption or constructive change, are not only predictable, but desirable. They mean growth. Taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear most. Fyodor Dostoevsky
The cucumber is bitter? Then throw it out. There are brambles in the path? Then go around. That’s all you need to know. Marcus Aurelius
A time of crisis is not just a time of anxiety and worry. It gives a chance, an opportunity, to choose well or to choose badly. Desmond Tutu
In a time of crisis we all have the potential to morph up to a new level and do things we never thought possible. Stuart Wilde
You never have real changes unless you have a time of crisis. Milton Friedman
Out of adversity comes opportunity. Benjamin Franklin
Rudyard Kipling in his poem IF wrote “If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you” then “Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it”

Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles, and less-than-perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident, and more and more successful. Mark Victor Hansen
No matter how many mistakes you make or how slow you progress, you are still way ahead of everyone who isn't trying. Tony Robbins
Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful. Albert Schweitzer
I take rejection as someone blowing a bugle in my ear to wake me up and get going, rather than retreat. Sylvester Stallone

You 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 Baer
They 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 Frank
Don’t believe everything you read on the internet. Abraham Lincoln
Curiosity pulls people into the scam. Frank Stallone
Distractions 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 Rock
We're comparing our behind-the-scenes with everybody else's highlight reel. Steven Furtick
If 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 Liu
Mostly, I think people are fake. Well, what do you expect? The fake world we live in conspires to make us all fakes. Benjamin Alire Saenz
I don't care how much money you have, free stuff is always a good thing. Queen Latifah
There'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. Edward de Bono

QUOTES:
Cultivate a deep understanding of yourself - not only what your strengths and weaknesses are but also how you learn, how you work with others, what your values are, and where you can make the greatest contribution. 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. Peter Drucker

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. And what Jim Rohn is saying here is that eventually, you start to think as they think and behave as they behave.

You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. Jim Rohn
Don'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 Wooden
In life, we will always encounter difficult people. Don't allow them to frustrate you or steal your joy. Victoria Osteen

Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things that matter least.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
You multiply your time by spending time on things today that will give you more time tomorrow. Rory Vaden

Procrastination is an active process – you choose to do something else instead of the task that you know you should be doing. In contrast, laziness suggests apathy, inactivity and an unwillingness to act.

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.

QUOTES:
It's the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen. John Wooden
Attention 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. Colin Powell
The difference between something good and something great is attention to detail.
Charles R. Swindoll

QUOTES:
Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you. Oprah Winfrey
Passion is a feeling that tells you: this is the right thing to do. Nothing can stand in my way. 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 Armstrong
Imagine 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. Nina Amir

I think sometimes we can get lost in the creativity of our work and in the focus that we bring to it but if we gave ourselves a break, literally and figuratively, we could all do a lot better.

QUOTES:
Spend the afternoon. You can't take it with you. Pulitzer Prize-winning author, Annie Dillard.
There is virtue in work and there is virtue in rest. Use both and overlook neither. Alan Cohen
When you are doing goal-oriented work that requires concentration, the PFC keeps you focused on your goals. The PFC is also responsible for logical thinking, executive functioning and using willpower to override impulses. 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. Meg Selig
When we work, our prefrontal cortex makes every effort to help us execute our goals. But for a challenging task that requires our sustained attention, research shows briefly taking our minds off the goal can renew and strengthen motivation later on. Nir Eyal
Downtime replenishes the brain’s stores of attention and motivation, encourages productivity and creativity, and is essential to both achieve our highest levels of performance and simply form stable memories in everyday life … moments of respite may even be necessary to keep one’s moral compass in working order and maintain a sense of self. Ferris Jabr
A vacation is what you take when you can no longer take what you've been taking. Earl Wilson
After a while, just staying alive becomes a full-time job. No wonder we need a vacation. Michael Zadoorian
The vacation we often need is freedom from our own mind. Jack Adam Weber

QUOTES:
The challenge in my life really is keeping the balance between feeling creatively energized and fulfilled without feeling overwhelmed and like I’m in the middle of a battlefield. Amanda Palmer
Sometimes, 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 Abrahamsen
You 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. Brigid Schulte
If you have a clear mind . . . you won't have to search for direction. Direction will come to you. Phil Jackson

An energy vampire can never “steal” energy from us unless we consciously or unconsciously permit them to. Mateo Sol
There's nothing so dangerous for manipulators as people who choose to think for themselves. Meg Greenfield
You don’t ever have to feel guilty about removing toxic people from your life. It’s one thing if a person owns up to their behaviour and makes an effort to change. But if a person disregards your feelings, ignores your boundaries, and continues to treat you in a harmful way, they need to go. Daniell KoepkeI
Don't associate yourself with toxic people. It's better to be alone and love yourself than surrounded by people that make you hate yourself. Robin Williams

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.

QUOTES:
“If you feel safe in the area that you’re working in, you’re not working in the right area. Always go a little further into the water than you feel capable of being in. Go a little bit out of your depth, and when you don’t feel that your feet are quite touching the bottom, you’re just about in the right place to do something exciting.” David Bowie
“There will be no one like us when we are gone, but then there is no one like anyone else, ever. When people die, they cannot be replaced. They leave holes that cannot be filled, for it is the fate - the genetic and neural fate - of every human being to be a unique individual, to find his own path, to live his own life, to die his own death.” Oliver Sacks
“I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure - which is: Try to please everybody.” Herbert Bayard Swope

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.

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

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.

"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 Lagerfeld

This episode is to support the 10-day Indiegogo campaign that I have just launched. If you want to know more please follow the link above.
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.

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. It may be more completely stated as "Focus on three things, ignore the rest."

I follow one of life’s great philosophers on YouTube by the name of Demi Demi, who went viral a few years back with his video "Tough times never last, only tough people last". He did it with great style and a lot of fun and since then he’s released hundreds of short motivational videos which are always entertaining. In this show, I present 5 of his motivational speeches and discuss their content.

Batching is simply the act of grouping tasks together, so you do them all at once, instead of switching between tasks that take place in areas.

Today’s episode highlights a simple rule that can be applied to virtually any project that we set out to do. It’s known in business terms as The Project Management Triangle but that uses the terms “cost,” “schedule,” and “scope”. In effect, it comes down to the same thing. You get what you pay for.

QUOTES:
“To become fit requires discomfort, to earn a significant income requires discomfort, to become great at anything, requires you to pay the price. 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. We lack a sense of urgency, not realizing that every week is important, every day is important, every moment is important. Ultimately, effective execution happens daily and weekly!” Brian P. Moran

In this episode I discuss one very simple thing that you can do right now, if you have not already done it, to make your life easier and reduce feelings of anxiety and stress in regard to living our everyday lives. Yes, this podcast is specifically aimed at creative people and film pros but every one of us will still have real-life tasks and responsibilities which I’m sure you know all too well if we do not stay on top of, will damage our creative and work lives and slow down our productivity. Today I’m going to talk about making up a HOUSE BOOK.

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.

QUOTES:
"But victimhood was seductive, a release from responsibility and caring. Fear would be transmuted into weary resignation; failure would no longer generate guilt but, instead, would spawn a comforting self-pity." From the novel Intensity by Dean Koontz
"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
"Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself." Harvey Fierstein

Clout chasing is an expression that came out of the American rap music industry and in simple terms, a Clout Chaser is someone who does and says things simply for the purpose of becoming more popular. You may not be familiar with the term, but I think you’ll recognise the sort of person that today’s topic defines pretty quickly.

"We need to ascend beyond our own petty Resistance, our own negative self-judgment and self-sabotage, our own "I'm not worthy" mindset." Steven Pressfield
"Turning pro is a mindset. If we are struggling with fear, self-sabotage, procrastination, self-doubt, etc., the problem is, we’re thinking like amateurs. Amateurs don’t show up. Amateurs crap out. Amateurs let adversity defeat them. The pro thinks differently. He shows up, he does his work, he keeps on truckin’, no matter what." Steven Pressfield

I'm cutting back on my podcast time this year. Listen to find out why. This is not the end. The next episode will be released in 2 weeks. After that, they will be released less regularly.
This episode explores the final 5 questions put forth in Jinny Ditzler's incredibly powerful system, Your Best Year Yet, a system that enables those who undertake it to achieve their goals in the 12 months that lie ahead. This is a strategy that actually works.

QUOTES:
Drop the last year into the silent limbo of the past. 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 Ditzler
I 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 Robbins
The 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 George
The 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. Stephen Covey

QUOTES:
Every time we choose action over ease or labor over rest, we develop an increasing level of self-worth, self-respect and self-confidence. 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 Rohn
It 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 Ditzler
Awareness 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 Ditzler
Pivoting 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! Napoleon Hill

The goal you set must be challenging. At the same time, it should be realistic and attainable, not impossible to reach. It should be challenging enough to make you stretch, but not so far that you break. Rick Hansen

QUOTES:
Sometimes people don't want to hear the truth because they don't want their illusions destroyed. 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. They provide us with a sense that we are not waiting in vain for something to happen. William Park
If you have to work to give your customers what they want, don’t hide it – flaunt it! Paul Marsden

QUOTES:
In the land of "I know," there is always competitiveness, jealousy, pretence, pride and arrogance. 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. Jane Austin

QUOTES:
Don't get too comfortable with who you are at any given time - you may miss the opportunity to become who you really want to be. Jon Bon Jovi
Easy roads make sleepy travellers. Charles Spurgeon
Discomfort brings engagement and change. Discomfort means you're doing something that others were unlikely to do, because they're hiding out in the comfortable zone. When your uncomfortable actions lead to success, the organization rewards you and brings you back for more. Seth Godin
It’s not our failures that determine our future success, but how we explain it to ourselves. Dr. Martin Seligman, founder of Positive Psychology
The biggest risk is not taking any risk. In a world that’s changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking any risks. Mark Zuckerberg
The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers. M. Scott Peck

QUOTES:
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
Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored. Aldous Huxley

You can read the full transcript for this episode on the official website https://www.filmproproductivity.com/
QUOTES:
You should Focus on what it is that you want and set a realistic goal. Start setting goals that you feel you can accomplish and don't try to go right to the top in one leap. Every time you accomplish one goal you develop the strength and wisdom to accomplish the next one. Chuck Norris
What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals. Michelangelo Buonarroti
Don't look at the big picture as the only achievement. Start with set, smart goals and work up to something bigger. Jordyn Wieber
The great majority of people are “wandering generalities” rather than “meaningful specifics”. The fact is that you can't hit a target that you can't see. If you don't know where you are going, you will probably end up somewhere else. You have to have goals. Zig Ziglar

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 Pratchett
We 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 Morozov
Who is going to believe a con artist? Everyone, if she is good. Andy Griffith
A lot of hackers set up scam sites. They can impersonate a site like PayPal, for instance. Michael Demon Calce
Hollywood 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. Ben Stein

Today's show looks at why and how we get addicted to comfort eating (aka emotional eating) to try and solve our problems. Inevitably though it leaves us with feelings of dissatisfaction and guilt.
In this show, I talk with KEYNOTE SPEAKER and MINDEST COACH, DEE BLEAKLEY, about how the right mindset, coupled with taking action, will lead you to success.

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 Bellow
David 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.

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 TODAY
STAY 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

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.

“That which you do not wish for yourself, DO NOT IMPOSE ON OTHERS.” - Umar

“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

This is the fourth part of my series on Napoleon Hill’s powerful book and if you’ve not yet heard the previous parts then I’d strongly advise you to go back and check out episodes 40 through 42 first before listening to this one.

Quotes:
“Clothes and manners do not make the man; but when he is made, they greatly improve his appearance.” - Arthur Ashe
“The way you dress is an expression of your personality.” - Alessandro Michele
“Ya know what I do almost every day? 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. There is surely nothing quite so useless as doing with great efficiency that which should not be done at all.” - Peter Drucker
“Accuracy is twin brother to honesty and inaccuracy to dishonesty.” - Nathaniel Hawthorne
“Whenever you do a thing, act as if all the world were watching.” - Thomas Jefferson
“Don't believe the hype.” - Wyclef Jean
“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 Robbins
“You can't break a bad habit by throwing it out the window. You've got to walk it slowly down the stairs.” - Mark Twain

This episode is sponsored by Encaptivate Films, the award-winning Edinburgh based producers of the feature film DARK SENSE.
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.

Quotes:

“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

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.

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.

There’s plenty of other stuff in here too if you are a non-swimmer so stay tuned! Now not only is STAYING ACTIVE one of the ESSENTIAL 5 A DAY FOR GOOD MENTAL HEALTH elements, but it’s also vital if you are to be as productive as you possibly can be.

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

If you Google why you SHOULD GIVE UP ON STUFF you’ll get a thousand hits that say the exact opposite - the message is strong and positive and seemingly sensible – NEVER GIVE UP – but this is not a black and white issue - there’s nuance here – You’ve already caught the episode title, and I say – let’s just wait a second here – and talk about this.

This show is the last of season 2 and today I will encourage you yet again to take control of your life and work and dreams and ambitions by adopting the productivity techniques that I have talked about here on this podcast. Call it a motivational talk if you will, but by recapping on some of the key techniques I have introduced here, I will show you how you can gain back control of your life and take positive action to move forward.

(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 Bakker
Robert 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

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

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

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 Spielberg
Harry 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."

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 J
The 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

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 Hankel
Arthur 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.”

“The man who can drive himself further once the effort gets painful is the man who will win.” - Athlete ROGER BANNISTER
Frank Lloyd Wright was quoted as saying “I know the price of success: dedication, hard work, and an unremitting devotion to the things you want to see happen.”
“If you don't drive your business, you will be driven out of business.” said the Scottish-born American founder of Forbes magazine B. C. Forbes
“Definiteness of purpose is the starting point of all achievement.” ―W. Clement Stone
“Effort and courage are not enough without purpose and direction.” - John F. Kennedy
“Motivation comes from working on things we care about. It also comes from working with people we care about.” —Sheryl Sandberg
“One way to keep momentum going is to have constantly greater goals.” - Novelist Michael Korda

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!

In this, the final episode of season 1, I’ll be talking about one of the most powerful weapons in the productivity-ists arsenal: GOAL SETTING.
For a full transcript of this episode please go to the official website https://www.filmproproductivity.com/
Quotes:
The American motivational speaker Daymond John believes that “the last thing I read at night will likely manifest when I'm sleeping. 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

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.

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.”

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.

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 Twain

EPISODE 6 – DEALING WITH YOUR INNER CRITIC
In this episode, I’ll be talking about negative and debilitating thoughts and how to handle them. Last week I left you with my thoughts on perfectionism and why it’s a really bad thing.
