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 SpeakeA red flag is if you’re losing interest in being social in person because you’d rather just connect with people online.

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. Cal Newport[Great creative minds] think like artists but work like accountants. Cal NewportClarity about what matters provides clarity about what does not.

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. Tom HodgkinsonI am forever grateful that I got some training in the theatre - it reduces performance anxiety.

Albert EinsteinEntities should not be multiplied beyond necessity. William of OckhamTruth is ever to be found in the simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things. Isaac NewtonThat's been one of my mantras - focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it's worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.

Stephen CoveyA 40-hour time-blocked work week, I estimate, produces the same amount of output as a 60+ hour work week pursued without structure. Cal NewportTime blocking is about being intentional with your time rather than reactive. Cal NewportTime is what we want most, but what we use worst.
