Film Pro Productivity & Success Carter Ferguson

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."

QUOTES:

“This is a ruthless world and one must be ruthless to cope with it." Charlie Chaplin

“Past and current clients will smile at the title, as I always look to get them to distil their focus down to three things, no matter the size of the company, the complexity of the challenges, opportunities, issues they face.” Tom McCallum

“We talk about it as ruthless prioritization and by that what we mean is - only do the very best of the ideas. Lots of times you have very good ideas but they're not as good as the most important thing you could be doing and you have to make the hard choices.” Sheryl Sandberg

"People who can focus, get things done. People who can prioritize, get the right things done." John Maeda

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.

"Productivity is never an accident. It is always the result of a commitment to excellence, intelligent planning, and focused effort." Paul J. Meyer

"If you want your life to have an impact, focus it! Stop dabbling. Stop trying to do it all. Do less. Prune away even good activities and do only that which matters most. Never confuse activity with productivity. You can be busy without a purpose, but what's the point?" Rick Warren

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.

Making something from nothing, or quickly solving a creative problem that comes up to bite you or your project in the ass is sometimes a really hard thing to do. Like catching lightning in a bottle, creativity on demand is simply not always easy.

QUOTES:

“The goal isn’t to make something everyone will love; the goal is to get excited, and make a thing where something wasn’t before.” Will Wheaton

"Creativity is often blocked by trying to be perfect. Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep." Tony Robbins

“Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they sometimes think they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while.” Steve Jobs

"Done is better than perfect" Sheryl Sandberg

"Perfectionism is the enemy of creation, as extreme self- solitude is the enemy of well-being." John Updike
