An episode that sorts it all out.Here's what's in store for today's episode: * First, our hosts talk about executive functioning, how its inherent lack can negatively impact autistic individuals, and why implementing personalized organizational systems is essential to keeping your executive function manageable.* Autism is a dynamic disability influenced by many variables—our perception of things, how regulated we are, how much we have on our plate, and more. The more chaos we face, the less executive functioning we tend to have.* We discuss the autistic hell that is moving and how it can take up to a month of processing time to fully regain executive functioning afterward.* It's crucial to have your own organized space to avoid emotional dysregulation. When things feel chaotic, it becomes harder to manage emotions and function effectively, but a structured environment provides the stability needed to stay grounded.* From scissor organizers to the perfect Command hook, discovering the right organizational tools is truly satisfying—but we first need to know they exist.* We talk about the organizational and autistic heaven that is IKEA — despite the occasional stress of assembling their furniture.* Our hosts discuss the lack of autophagy in autistic people and how it makes the use of behaviorism as the top treatment ironic, as it doesn't benefit us in any meaningful way.* Matt and Angela discuss autism-specific ways of organizing items (by genre, by color, by whether your mug is a Star Wars mug or a Lego mug, et cetera), and how general neurotypical organizational methods don't always benefit or serve us.* Anything that makes your life easier is essential to healthy autistic living—and crucial for preserving our spoons.* When we lose or misplace things as autistic people, our brains can become dysregulated and shift into survival mode—making organizational systems essential for us to maintain stability.* Matt and Angela also discuss solutions for long-term storage and the discomfort caused by shows like Storage Wars, which can create a sense of trauma around putting things into storage—making it feel like we're abandoning our possessions.* If you can optimize your organizational systems now, it will save you stress, preserve your spoons, and protect your health and energy. It's an important investment in yourself.“Autism is a dynamic disability, and it is based on all the stuff that happens - our dysregulation, our neurological perception of things, & how much stuff we're going through at any given time. So the more chaos we have to do, the more variables we have to account for, the less executive functioning we're going to have.” - Matt [paraphrased from original quote by Neurodiversely Unbroken]“Organization, when you have it, is being in tune with the universe. With bottom-up processing, I picture the entire universe as being like clockwork, right? One variable impacts another variable impacts another variable. It's the whole butterfly effect, right?” - Matt“We are not a people known for our tolerance for ambiguity. We do not like the limbo. The limbo drains us because again, we're constantly calculating the variables and trying to figure stuff out and trying to solve the problem in our brain, but it doesn't reflect our environment. No matter how much we think about it, we actually have to get the energy to do it.” - Matt“When I stress out and I can't find something, I lose hours and hours. I struggle with time blindness. I miss appointments all the time, things I'm very excited about. And then all of a sudden I'll look at the clock and two hours have gone by and I missed something that I was supposed to be doing. That happens when I lose things, when I can't find things, when I'm dysregulated.” - Angela“If you optimize every single room and make your life better, you will get spoons back. You will have fewer arguments with partners. You will have the energy to go out with a friend. You will have fewer stomach aches. There are ways that you can make your life better that are not that expensive. And that investment will pay back so many times.” - AngelaIn this episode, we discuss the importance of organization for autistic people, exploring autism-specific organizational strategies, the challenges of executive functioning, and how personalized systems can make a huge difference in maintaining stability.

In today's fast-paced work environment, expecting people to simply work harder isn't prioritizing—it's counterproductive. The “more is more” mindset can erode organizational effectiveness, diminish work quality, and negatively impact employee well-being. In a world where busyness is often celebrated, it's time to challenge the norm of juggling multiple "priorities." True prioritization means focusing on one thing at a time, with purpose and clarity.  Join Jennie and Craig in this conversation where you'll learn how to use prioritization as a tool for mastery. Discover practical ways to ensure your team's working methods align with your strategic goals and gain the confidence to say no when necessary. Packed with actionable strategies, this session is perfect for current and aspiring leaders alike.

So in your anger and haste, you run to the store to get them everything they need at the last minute.

The two entrepreneurs started the non-profit PASE (Parents Assisting Special Educators) and PASE After 21 for special needs adults. Bar Tips is his first published book, drawing on the lessons learned during his years as a bartender that Neil has applied for success in sales.SHOW SUMMARYIn this episode of Selling From The Heart, join hosts Larry Levine and Darrell Amy in a captivating conversation with Neil Rogers, the seasoned expert in sales and marketing and author of "Bar Tips." Discover the unspoken parallels between bartending and sales, as Neil shares insights on building relationships, effective communication, and the art of hospitality. Learn how the principles from behind the bar can be the key to success in your sales journey.KEY TAKEAWAYSThe Golden Rule in Sales: Applying the golden rule - treating others as you want to be treated - is the foundation of building long-term relationships in both bartending and sales.Importance of a Proper Greeting: Just as a warm welcome sets the tone for a great bar experience, the first impression in sales can make or break a deal. Smile, greet, and be genuinely interested in your prospect.Listening Skills: Drawing from Dale Carnegie's wisdom, Neil emphasizes the significance of listening to customers. Understanding their needs and preferences without interruptions is crucial for effective sales communication.Time Management and Punctuality: Neil introduces the concept of "15 minutes is the new on time." Being punctual, managing time efficiently, and staying organized are keys to success both at the bar and in sales.Taking Ownership of Business Problems: Neil shares a valuable lesson from his mentor about taking ownership when things go wrong. Reflect on your role in a problem and focus on solutions rather than blaming others.Solving Problems Silently: The best way to handle business issues is to solve them without customers noticing. Neil advocates for proactive problem-solving to enhance customer experience.QUOTES"The only difference between a bartender and a person in a selling capacity is that customers come to them; we have to go hunt them.""Never get a second shot at the first impression. It's the small things that matter in building relationships.""Solve the problem without the customer ever knowing. It's the art of making things right behind the scenes."Learn more about Neil Rogers: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/neil-p-rogers-cas-68a4a22/Learn more about Darrell and Larry: Darrell's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/darrellamy/Larry's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/larrylevine1992/Website: https://www.sellingfromtheheart.net/Got a video about how you sell from the heart?

The statement "How a woman feels can dictate how a home feels and functions" underscores the significant role that women often play in shaping the emotional climate and overall dynamics within a household. While it's important to recognize that feelings and responsibilities within a home should be shared by all family members, this statement highlights the unique influence that women, typically mothers and caretakers, can have on the family environment. Let's explore this concept further: 1. Emotional Tone-Setting: Women often contribute significantly to the emotional atmosphere in a home. Their mood, demeanor, and emotional well-being can set the tone for the entire household. A woman who feels content, fulfilled, and emotionally balanced is likely to radiate positivity, creating a harmonious environment that fosters emotional well-being for all family members. 2. Nurturing and Supportive Atmosphere: Women are often the primary nurturers in a family. When a woman feels emotionally supported and nurtured herself, she is better equipped to extend that care to others in the household. This nurturing atmosphere contributes to a sense of security and comfort, making the home a welcoming and supportive place for all family members. 3. Organizational Skills and Household Functioning: Women are frequently involved in managing the practical aspects of a home, from meal planning and household chores to organizing family schedules. How a woman feels about her responsibilities can impact the efficiency and functionality of these daily tasks. A woman who feels empowered and organized is more likely to create a well-run and smoothly functioning home. 4. Communication and Connection: Women often play a central role in facilitating communication and connection within a family. When a woman feels emotionally connected and communicative, it tends to foster open lines of dialogue among family members. Effective communication is crucial for resolving conflicts, understanding each other's needs, and building strong, supportive relationships. 5. Role Modeling for Children: The emotional well-being of a mother can significantly influence the emotional development of her children. Children often look to their mothers as emotional anchors. A woman who models resilience, empathy, and healthy emotional expression provides a valuable example for her children, shaping their own emotional intelligence and well-being. 6. Balancing Work and Home Life: Many women manage the delicate balance between work and home responsibilities. How a woman feels about this balance can impact her energy levels, stress levels, and overall well-being. A woman who feels supported in achieving a work-life balance is likely to contribute positively to the overall atmosphere in the home. 7. Creating a Safe Haven: Women often take on the role of creating a safe and comforting space within the home. When a woman feels emotionally secure and supported, she can extend that sense of safety to her family. This safe haven becomes a place where family members can seek solace, share their thoughts and feelings, and find comfort. It's essential to note that while women can play a significant role in shaping the emotional climate of a home, the responsibility for emotional well-being and household functioning should be a shared endeavor. Open communication, mutual support, and a collaborative approach among all family members contribute to a healthy and thriving home environment. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theyoungbloods/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theyoungbloods/support

Depression is a state in which someone is experiencing negative feelings that can impact their life, but there are ways to seek help if diagnosed with it. Mental Health is important for a person and it�s hard for them to stay calm. Trust and Loyalty are significant pillars in our lives, and they can occur in types of relationships. Having a broken trust can have a negative impact and consequences for people. Organizational Skills are important. This podcast will be an opportunity to listen to various topics and learn their importance.

And in a perfect world, we would all have plenty of time to work together to keep a home clean and tidy. But we often don't have the time or energy. Our time and patience gets consumed by after-school activities, homework, housework, and adult work. Teaching your children the skill of organization is an absolute must. These skills will serve them well while they're living in your household and, one day, their own. The Organize 365® Kids Program is your solution.

# 072 – Today, on this episode, we conclude our series on the habits of successful and overachieving students. Jankel and I embark on a conversation about how important it is for students to have excellent organizational skills to do well in high school and carry out the college admission process successfully. Jankel tells a story about one of her students, whose organizational skills made a big impression on her. That student is now completing medical school. Our conversation also touches on the importance of having the commitment required to acquire these habits. We compare this process to everything that successful athletes have to endure to achieve their goals. Additionally, we discuss the ever-present level of activity in successful students, in academic and non-academic areas. We call them Predictable Doers. That level of activity arises from a connection to topics that stimulate their brains. I provide an example of a high school student who shared with me a piece of artwork that he created and dealth with the ancient motif of Chaoskampf. As our episode crosses the mid-line, we talk about the last three habits of successful and overachieving students. One plays a role on their self-esteem of successful students, while the others allow them to establish fruitful relationships with faculty and staff in their high schools, and continuously participate in school activities. The episodes on this series were fun and very positive. You can access the show notes for this episode at https://collegemetropolis.com/72.

He and a buddy started researching what it take to open a landscaping business while he was still wearing the uniform. In fact, they started mowing lawns part-time, in off duty hours, to get things going. It wasn't easy, but then Mike says a lot of the things that helped him to be successful with a small business, are things he learned in the service – like an “insane” work ethic and organizational skills.

I came across an article on LiveCareer entitled “14 Skills and Values Employers Seek in Jobseekers,” and I wanted to share it with you. Professionalism. The article talks about “acting in a responsible and fair manner in all your personal and work activities, which is seen as a sign of maturity and self-confidence.” Last week's podcast, episode #137, talks about 5 quick ways to get branded as unprofessional. The flip side is what you do and say, and don't do and don't say, what you wear and don't wear, and how you show up at work that brands you as either a professional, unprofessional, or in the murky waters somewhere in between. Honesty and Integrity. There have been a lot of very public corporate scandals stemming from employees' lack of honesty and integrity, which has made this quality highly valued by employers. Truthfulness always wins out – as long as it's coming from a place of understanding and compassion. Being hateful under the guise of truthfulness will get you quickly branded as mean, uncaring, and a host of words I won't mention. If you are unsure of whether you should do something, think about whether you would do that thing if the president of your company were watching. Adaptability. The article speaks of “openness to new ideas and concepts, to working independently or as part of a team, and to carrying out multiple tasks or projects.” This skill of adaptability or flexibility is particularly important in the face of COVID 19, where employees are being asked to do things completely outside their wheelhouse to keep the doors open. Your boss LOVES employees who raise their hands for new projects and are willing to stretch their skillset. Be one of those employees. Problem-Solving. As someone who has supervised many employees, one of the most important things I looked for was employees who would not just come to me with a problem, but at least one possible solution to that problem. Don't be labeled as the difficult employee who is always complaining. Instead, get branded as the solution provider. Even if your boss doesn't use your suggestion, she will appreciate that you had a solution to offer. Dependability/Reliability/Responsibility. This one's pretty simple, but so important. Arrive on time and own up to your mistakes. You can't expect to be given promotions or plum assignments if you garner a reputation of being undependable. If you screw up, and you will, OWN up. End of story. Loyalty. “Employers want employees who will have a strong devotion to the company, even at times when the company is not necessarily loyal to its employees.” How do you talk about your employer and your boss when they aren't around? How do you think about them? Loyalty is rewarded. Disloyalty is terminated. Positive Attitude/Motivated/Energy/Passion. As opposed to those highly desirable job candidates who are negative, unmotivated, sluggish, and dead inside. Yep. A cousin of adaptability is your ability to do your work with a positive attitude and passion. People with a positive attitude carry that attitude through no matter the assignment, timeline, budget, team members, or any other variable. Self-Confidence. “If you don't believe in yourself, in your unique mix of skills, education, and abilities, why should a prospective employer? Be confident in yourself and what you offer employers.” On the job, you want your self-confidence to shine through in all you do, especially when it is a new project or an area you haven't worked in before. Your boss needs to feel he made the right choice in giving you that job, and a big piece of that is the self-confidence you display. Self-Motivated/Ability to Work Without Direct Supervision. The flip side of being a team player is the ability to get your work done without anyone standing over your shoulder. Bosses really don't want to micro-manage you, so show them by your results that you don't need to be micromanaged. Willingness to Learn. You must show a willingness to learn new skills, job duties, and ways of working. Never complain about the skills or competencies you haven't been taught…emotional intelligence is going to the proper source to get what you need to do the job. And don't present your case as a victim, but as a professional individual who is willing to learn this new thing. Leadership/Management Skills. Although the article groups these together, I see them as distinctly different skill sets. Management speaks to the day-to-day operations of a business unit and managing the work of those in that unit. Leadership speaks to determining the direction of a unit and making sure that direction is followed. Leading a team involves charisma, vision, and passion. Multicultural Sensitivity/Awareness. “There is possibly no bigger issue in the workplace than diversity, and job seekers must demonstrate a sensitivity and awareness to other people and cultures.” This one is huge in the workplace right now. How can you help lead awareness and sensitivity in your company or department? How can you move the conversation forward from a place of sensitivity and awareness? Planning and Organizational Skills. In addition to designing, planning, organizing, and implementing projects and tasks, it also involves goal-setting. In most occupations, flying by the seat of your pants is not a desirable way to get your work done. You make your coworkers nervous that you won't get your work done on time. Set up your calendar system. Stay on top of meetings with others. Plan out your part of projects so you get quality work done on time. Teamwork. So many jobs today involve work groups, and your ability to contribute fully within work groups is extremely important. Whether you are meeting in person or virtually, it is so important that you carry your weight with each of your teams. Make sure your voice is heard – but don't monopolize the conversation. Make sure your voice is heard – but don't be tone-deaf to the energy of the room. Make sure your contribution is recognized – and so is everyone else's. Make sure your skills are leveraged – and so are everyone else's. Here's my challenge to you: identify one of these 14 things that you would like to improve. Then establish what you will do towards that item. Make sure you set a SMART goal: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time-Sensitive. Is it a formal class? Do you want to read some books on the topic? Is there someone you need to have a conversation with? Do you want to hire a coach? Want help finding your next job?

Laurie & Matt shift their "If I Were Principal" segment from their regular episodes to stand alone content in their bonus episodes. After Matt admits that he had erroneously been calling the segment If I WAS Principal" (Microsoft Word's grammar correction showing him the error of his way), he goes on to make a suggestion to improve students' organizational skills. Wistfully remembering the bygone days of every student being given an agenda planner, Matt suggests that technology's encroachment into education has led us to believe that explicit teaching of organizational skills has evaporated because everything is "searchable." Laurie & Matt then discuss ways that we could help our students get a handle on the flood of important information coming their way on a daily basis, and why it's a vital skill to develop heading into adulthood when being late may mean the lights get turned off.

In today’s show, Chris interviews student painter and district manager, Luke Fenn. This show starts with Luke recalling his life before Student Works. Because a bunch of his buddies were already student painters, Luke was quick to grasp this entrepreneurial opportunity when he came across it in his first year. While Luke managed to notch up $100,000 revenues in his first year, he admits his first year was incredibly stressful.  So, when Luke came back to Student Works in his second year, what all did he change about his management style?  Luke shares how he managed to build his organization by hiring sales and production staff so that he could manage his business in a completely autonomous and hassle-free manner. The next segment of the show is particularly interesting as Luke shares some great details about how he got and executed the biggest job of his career – a $200,000 job where he had 21 people on site! Here, you will learn how ingenuity and a strong network can take you ahead in life.  As Luke built up his organization, he had had to assume the role of a coach and mentor. So, what surprised Luke most about being a coach and mentor? Luke shares how assuming his role required him to connect on a deeply personal level with his teammates. Other topics discussed on this show include cultivating self-awareness and coachability, taking action with intention, discovering opportunities in the outside world, and capitalizing on them.  We hope you enjoy this show!

We discuss strengths, weakness, strategies, systems and the problems we can all solve together to fulfill a shared vision of a new future for Albuquerque. I want you guys to buy this book The 12 Week Year you can get it here. Here is a description of the book from there website:  The 12 Week Year Is Not About Mustering More Discipline, Willpower, Organizational Skills, or A better Mindset THIS IS DIFFERENT...  Developed in high-stakes environments where performance and execution are a competitive advantage,  The 12 Week Year has turned traditional goal setting on its head, and simplified how ambitious people get things done.   Traditional approaches to getting things done often require serious organizational skills and unsustainable amounts of discipline or willpower.  If you’ve tried to become “more productive” or “more effective,” in the past, using any of those common approaches, you’ve no doubt felt overwhelmed, frustrated, or disappointed at some point with your lack of sustained progress. The 12 Week Year is an execution method used in monster Organizations like: NASA, Dunkin' Brands, Coldwell Banker, JC Penny, Mass Mutual, Papa Johns Pizza, Tiffany's, New York Life, the Susan G. Komen Foundation, and many more. This new and different approach to getting things done has now become the operating method of choice for many Fortune 500 executives, elite entrepreneurs, accomplished athletes, top performers in dozens of professional fields...   ...and, for ordinary, but ambitious individuals who need an effective execution method that's easy to learn, easy implement, and easy to maintain.

This podcast episode explains how to improve organizational skills by mastering less important tasks. We need to spend most of our time on important tasks such as building our business or spending quality time with family. And as soon as we get momentum with these important tasks, it’s easy to forget about the smaller ones. For example, I tend to ignore them in the hope that they will solve on their own or become unnecessary. But what I’ve realized recently is that with some smaller tasks, ignoring them altogether doesn’t work. Oftentimes, they have an impact on the quality of my future work. Not doing them means I’ll be able to produce a lower quality of work or do less work. It might also mean wasted time and money. Join me as I sit down to discuss how I improved my organizational skills around those minor tasks. __________________________________________ HELP AND LINKS: If you need help developing your organizational skills, I’m here to help.

Last week, we talked about the ways in which you need to take care of your physical and safety needs before you can get organized. Today on the podcast, we will talk about how you actually learn the skills of organization.  Edgar Dale was an educator who studied the different methods teachers used to deliver a lesson, and he quantified how much a student could be expected to recall based on the approach the teacher used. The way you get information directly affects how much you retain. The retention does vary by individual learner as well, so it is helpful to learn how YOU best learn.  Lessons can be delivered as reading, hearing, seeing, video (hearing and seeing), saying (teaching back), and saying while doing (experiential learning). I share with you how I analyzed this information and applied it to different places I have taught - as a classroom teacher, as the Sunday Basket ® instructor, and as the owner of Organize 365 while onboarding new staff members. Organization is a learnable skill. The only way you cannot get organized, is if I fail to teach you. My job is to figure out how to correctly teach the skills of organization. I am continually working to learn better ways to teach, motivate, inspire, and help you meet your goal of getting organized.    I offer 3 different levels of courses in getting organized. You can start with the Sunday Basket ®. Then you can join the 100 Day Home Organization Program. Finally, you can get your whole life organized in All Access.  I continue to make improvements, enhancements, and additions to help you get organized. These programs work because we have included every single learning strategy that Edgar Dale recommended. And, if you need even more personalized help, you can find a Sunday Basket ® Certified Workshop Organizer near you.

  EPISODE 11 – Committing to a Twelve Week Year   “Without goals, and plans to reach them, you are like a ship that has set sail with no destination.” — Fitzhugh Dodson On this week’s show, I will be discussing the concept of the twelve week year, how I used it to get out of a creative rut and how it can be used to focus your vision and complete goals quickly. It’s a bit longer than usual episodes but it’s filled with valuable and important stuff. Before I go on to that though, in last week’s episode I set out to discount the myth that multitasking is somehow a more productive way of working than just doing one thing at a time. The ONE THING AT A TIME PHILOSOPHY is not the easiest thing to do, and I perhaps find that especially true for creatives. As we constantly find ourselves thinking of more and more things we could develop or work on within ourselves or our creative projects, be they films or whatever, we often trip over the last idea we had with a fresh new one and short circuit it. Multitasking does exist of course, as any mother or father working from home with a toddler at their heels will confirm, but in productivity terms, it’s incredibly inefficient and as we get older we simply become less and less able to pull it off. If you missed the episode do scoot back and have a listen as it’s got some good food for thought in there but if you did and have been giving it a try, as always please get in touch via twitter or the website links and let me know how you are getting on. If you have a particular element of your life or work that you are struggling with then please get in touch and I’ll see if I can work up a new episode to help you to deal with it. ANECDOTE Sadly I lost my brilliant dad at the start of 2017 and just a few months later I lost my amazing mum too. It was not a good year and by September I found that I was struggling to get things done in both life and work. I always seemed to be a step behind and I was firefighting my way through everything last minute, that’s if I got things done at all. I’ve talked about firefighting a few times here and YOU CAN WORK THAT WAY BUT what it does is that it takes your attention away from larger problems and those problems play heavily on your mind. It also makes your goals secondary to whatever the current problem is that you are dealing with. It got to the point several times in the years leading up to my own first twelve week year where I had to just stop and those that follow my twitter feed will know this, I have to shut it down to allow me to focus on what is absolutely vital. The white noise that I talked about in episode 3, just saturated my thoughts with 10’s If not hundreds of small to large sized tasks and commitments and I got heavily bogged down and kinda lost. Of course, now I have ways to avoid this, but that’s really because I was able to get myself out from under a host of problems by committing to a 12 week year and in turn that started me on my way to high-level thinking. It’s worth saying that even productivity systems can become white noise if you try to follow too many at once, but I found the 12 week year and basically, with a fairly thin understanding of it I threw myself in. I’ll go into it in detail a little later but I usually describe it to others as taking your new year’s resolution, what you want to achieve by that same time the following year instead of putting it 12 weeks away. For example, let’s say you want to make a short film. You say. I want to write, shoot and edit a short film by this time next year that’s my vision, that tells a story that I want to tell, or you want to learn how to edit by this time next year, or you want to make a change in career by this time next year, or you want to lose a few pounds or here’s one, you want to launch a podcast by this time next year. Instead of saying by THIS TIME NEXT YEAR, the traditional way you instead put that goal just 12 weeks away. So a twelve week year simply takes the focussed energy at the start and end of a new year’s resolution - The first six weeks and the final six weeks of the year and misses out the middle bit. The 9 months of the year where you got distracted from your vision. It focuses your time and energy and makes achieving your goals a real possibility. “People with goals succeed because they know where they’re going.” — Earl Nightingale My goal when I set my own 12 week year up was to clear the decks of incomplete projects, unfinished personal matters and promises to help others out within that time and I largely succeeded. I successfully killed off projects that were going nowhere, completed tasks that had been lying unfinished for well, some of them, years and I either end lined or escaped from all but two other matters. One was a project I’d been dragged into and that the producer simply wouldn’t let go, and I found myself in the end, out of politeness, agreeing to extend my involvement – I shouldn’t have done it but I did, and the other was an insurance claim for water getting into my house which in the end I simply had to concede to as a kind of half agreement with them a few weeks later – by that stage it had been two whole years unresolved and the 12 week year put real pressure on them. I learned that corporate matters like an insurance claim are very difficult to get working to your speed. Everything else though and I’m talking some 11 or 12 quite complicated matters, as well as many many smaller ones, got resolved within the 12 weeks. Of note is that NONE of the people that I gave deadlines to for the release of my voluntary creative involvement, actually completed or indeed really even started their projects within the 12 weeks I gave them to do so. These were creative projects which I can only assume were started by people on a whim, and they had called me or invited me on board and this was before I taught myself to say no of course, but they never went anywhere. It’s not that they couldn’t keep up with the pace that I set, THEY COULDN’T EVEN TAKE THE FIRST STEP ONTO A PACE – THERE WAS NO PACE. I’d been sweating and giving up mental energy to these projects when the people who apparently were driving them were really just waiting for me to do it for them. That realisation and my higher level self’s acknowledgement of it made saying no to future involvements all the easier. I did try another 12 week year just after the first, trying to pull together within it both this podcast and a web series and that 12 week year failed, well kinda failed and the reason was that I was 1 – Uncertain of exactly what I wanted to do with this podcast and my goal was therefor unspecific, And 2 – That the project I’d let slide on the previous 12 week year slammed right into my one and took all of the spare time that I’d worked so hard for, off of me. I had to manhandle that project to completion and if I hadn’t it simply would never have shot. In effect, I dropped my own project in favour of someone else’s and killed my second 12-week plan myself. All really out of politeness. I’m quite aware as I work on these episodes that at times I may sound harsh, or unsupportive or negative even but I have deep regrets from wasting my time and energy with experiences like this, and I must tell you that giving up your own hopes and dreams to commit to furthering someone else’s vision, no matter how nice they are, is not a good thing for the soul. I’m currently nearing the end of my 3rd 12 week year, and my goal with this one – to launch a podcast on the subject of productivity by the end of September 2018. How am I getting on? THE LESSON So committing to and completing a 12 week year is really pretty difficult but if you can get through it, and NOT GET DISTRACTED you will achieve a hell of a lot. I present this episode as I know just how powerful it is and I absolutely believe in it. The TWELVE WEEK YEAR IS a PRODUCTIVITY SYSTEM created by BRIAN P MORAN and his business partner MICHAEL LENNINGTON, outlined in a NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING BOOK (link in the show notes) and an accompanying website of the same name that debunks traditional goal setting, using annual goals, as an ineffective goal-achieving approach. The 12 Week Year Is Not About Mustering More Discipline, Willpower, Organizational Skills, or A better Mindset, it is simply a focussed approach to goal setting which takes your long-term vision and brings it closer.

It goes on to suggest that maybe towards the end of the year you pick it back up again, and say to yourself, well I must do that thing that I said I would, and you might return to the gym, or perhaps you may have decided just to let it go. AN IN DEPTH LOOK AT THE TWELVE WEEK YEAR The 12 Week Year is a highly practical guide for taking you from thinking about the things you should be doing to push your business or your project or your life forward to actually doing those things. I’m basing my next section on an article by Carrie Dils called How to Squeeze a Full Year out of 12 Weeks. I did a good bit of additional research but I really liked her conclusions. There are 4 stages to this: Firstly you must SET “PILLAR” GOALS “Goals are dreams with deadlines.” ― Diana Scharf Now I’ve kind of avoided getting specific on goal setting so far in this podcast but the time has come for you to start thinking long term. The whole point of higher level thinking is to intelligently move yourself towards your own goals be they short or long term. And you need to start thinking about it if you haven’t already – The question is this - What is your long-term vision for your life? Where would you like to be true about your life in 10 years. Would you like to be debt free? Would you like to have a family? Would you like to achieve a certain salary? Own a holiday home? Move your career to a significant place? This will be your pillar goal. Take your time with this. Get to grips with it. I’ll revisit goals again and again on this show. For now, the idea is to pick 2-3 core goals for each 12-week cycle that serve your larger vision. Did you know that - If you write a goal down the probability of you doing it goes up 80%? Write a compelling vision of the ideal future that you’re working towards. The second stage is to GET RID OF ANNUALIZED THINKING Imagine getting a week’s worth of progress made in one day. Think critically about the tasks that are truly most important to your goals and spend your time on those things. What can I focus on in the next 12 weeks that are in service of my Pillar goals? Plan the daily or weekly tasks that serve those 2-3 primary goals and if your daily activities aren’t supporting those goals, you’re doing the wrong thing. Create habits to make taking regular action as easy as possible. Here are some examples that serve my current goal of creating this podcast. Create the website that supports the podcast. Learn how to submit to iTunes. Create test episodes to learn from. And how have I tackled these? I stopped my involvement in other peoples creative projects in order to focus on my goal. I tried three different word press designers, wasted time with them, and I eventually took over and built it myself in Wix. I researched how to get onto iTunes by following you tubers and listening to podcasts that talk about the subject. I hired a friend with a podcast to advise me on creating this one, and I recorded tests and rerecorded episode 1 three times before settling. I narrowed my focus, out with the day to day work of fight direction which is incredibly busy this year I must add and I focussed only on my podcast goals in my spare time. I deliberately avoided being drawn into other ideas and projects that took my fancy. Thirdly - DON’T UNDERESTIMATE THE IMPORTANCE OF PLANNING. Planning is some of the most productive time you can have. You have to set focused tactical goals. Plan what strategies and actions will move you closer to your goal and your future success. To achieve a year’s worth of work in the next 12 weeks requires a style of planning and execution that forces you to shed the low-value activity that keeps you stuck. Engage with the word tactical and don’t be afraid to say no to things that will distract you or slow you down. You have to make a detailed plan, with dates to hit - and stick to it. My detailed plan for his podcast has three elements to it: 1 Be ready by the 12th of September – My ideal launch date. 2 Have 15 episodes researched written and recorded by that date. Today is the 7th and I am on episode 11. I will put off recording 12-15 as I’m not in Glasgow so cannot complete. I will however complete by the 20th. 3 To launch with a website which will support the show and is simple to look at but offers the opportunity for expansion. The website planning is very complex in itself. I have been getting up early - between5.30-6am in order to complete a little bit of work on the podcast every day. As I near the end, it is slotting into every spare moment that I can find, between risk assessments, travel and fights. Lastly – YOU SHOULD KEEP SCORE Make your goals SMART That is (Specific. Measurable. Actionable. Relevant. Time-sensitive.). If you can’t measure progress, how do you know how you’re doing? Keep score so you know what’s working and what’s not so that you can make adjustments along the way. It enables you to celebrate wins and consciously identify problem areas. Here are some common problems that you may face along the way. COMMON MISTAKE #1: Trying to change everything at once - This is the number one mistake people make. Start with one thing and do it well. Once you get a few wins under your belt, you’ll gain skill and confidence with the system and you’ll be able to achieve even more. COMMON MISTAKE #2: Not having a strong enough “why” You absolutely MUST have a compelling personal vision. This is the “why” behind what you want to accomplish and achieve. It provides the motivation to follow through and take action, even when you don’t feel like it. Don’t get caught up trying to please someone else or copy someone else. Find your own why. COMMON MISTAKE #3: Not tracking your actions. This is important because you are what you repeatedly do. You are always building habits, either by intention or by accident. Tracking is a daily reminder that you’re growing. COMMON MISTAKE #4: Going it alone - If you’re serious about achieving your goals, the best thing you can do is tell others about it. There’s an African proverb that says, “if you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” So share your vision & goals with a friend or a colleague. In the productivity world, there’s something called an accountability partner. I’m sure if you put some effort into it you can find someone who it would be mutually beneficial to share with. SUMMING UP Brian P. Moran says in the 12 week year that “the number-one thing that you will have to sacrifice to be great, to achieve what you are capable of, and to execute your plans, is your comfort.” I’ve gone into some detail here but the book covers this topic very well. Follow the link in the show notes to get yourself a copy. It’s got so much value in it that I’ve really just had time to touch upon here. In the interest of honesty, I have to admit that I have deliberately put back my launch of Film Pro Productivity from the 12 September to a bit later in the month. The reason for that? I’m directing fight sequences simultaneously on 3 different television shows now and one is on the Island of Shetland at the top of Scotland, one is on the Isle of Skye to the North West and the other is in Central Scotland, In Glasgow. I simply can’t make my own launch date as I have to follow the work. If I launched on the 12th, which tbh I can, then I would not be able to promote it. I have delayed a little to gain a lot. This twelve week year episode is my first foray into the subject of goal setting. I hope that you’ve found it useful and inspiring. “One part at a time, one day at a time, we can accomplish any goal we set for ourselves.” — Karen Casey CALL TO ACTION I’m not going to suggest that as a call to action for next week you begin a 12 week year – all I ask is that you think about how it could work for you and start deciding on your life and work goals. That’s enough for now. ENDING Next episode I’ll be talking about Timewasters and How to deal with them – I’ll try and make it a shorter episode! For now though, thanks so much for listening – and I urge you to take control of your own destiny, keep on shootin’ and join me NEXT TIME on Film Pro Productivity.
