A lot of people feel dissatisfied about how they spend their time. They often feel busy, but that busyness doesn't add up to anything — not to fun, not to fulfillment, not to memories.My guest, Laura Vanderkam, has spent a lot of time thinking about and studying time, and last year she decided to run an experiment to see if the insights she had gained from that study could help average people get a better handle on their time. She had 150 people try out nine different time-management rules, which were sorted into three categories: Calm the Chaos, Make Good Things Happen, and Waste Less Time. She shares these field-tested strategies from what she called the Tranquility by Tuesday project in her new book by the same name.Today on the show, we talk about my seven favorite rules from Tranquility by Tuesday. Laura explains why you need to give yourself a bedtime, plan your week on Friday, make a “punch list” for tackling small tasks, and more. We also discuss the principle that can allow you to read a hundred books in a year.Resources Related to the EpisodeLaura's previous appearance on the podcast: Episode #495: Wish You Had More Time?

Surprise! It's Monday, and I felt super inspired to talk about this topic today, so here we are. Yay! In this episode I share with you some questions I asked myself, when I was trying to figure out who TF I am, and what I want from this life. We get so much feedback on how we should be, do, and act our entire lives, so how can you know who YOU REALLY ARE or WHAT YOU REALLY WANT if you don't do a little digging first? If you've felt like you're always changing to keep the peace, make people comfortable, or really because you think you don't have an opinion either way (but I bet you do...), you gotta listen to this one. I hope you enjoy this episode! Thank you for listening and subscribing! I appreciate you!

The Coffee Run Ep482 - Imposter Syndrome? What do I really want?? If you have these things happening, being VISIBLE is very freaking hard…. Let's face it. Being in business can be brutal. Putting yourself out there can feel like you're standing naked in the middle of a stadium with no protection...B U T this is also where some of the gold is. Because everyone else is super scared of doing it... so you have an opportunity. BUT. What about Imposter Syndrome? We've all felt it. We've all had it. In fact, I can tell you that every client I've worked with has experienced this at some point or another - and it's usually at the time when they're about to uplevel their business in one way shape or form. The other thing with this though, is that this is an issue that's really tough to combat if you're not sure WHAT YOU REALLY WANT... or if you're not sure where you're going. Or if you're not really sure that this is the path that you want to take. If you don't know where you're going, it can be hard to get past the Imposter Syndrome and Comparisonitis stuff. Which then makes it near impossible for you to show up online. To be VISIBLE and to Step Into The Spotlight. So what to do? Well. I talked about that today! Enjoy the replay. Have you heard about VISIBLE | LIVE yet? What?!?!?! Well, of course I have to tell you about VISIBLE LIVE again!!! It's all about taking you from feeling (and probably being) INVISIBLE online… to stepping up into the best damn rockstar version of you that you can be - and using that to position yourself online as an EXPERT FOR YOUR AUDIENCE.

What You Really Want

You have a scout youth that is turning 18 soon. Scout leaders should have a plan worked out for the scout's parents leaving. Most Scouters and parents leave the program with their kids. The young adult can stay involved with your troop as an Assistant Scoutmaster. Many join Venture Crews. Eventually, young adults move on to college or start their careers. This will limit the free time available to donate to scouting. Scoutmasters, mentors should make time to talk about plans for the future. As an Eagle Scout, we have a commitment to our community, ourselves, and scouting. Scout leaders & mentors should talk with young adults about their future, but listen carefully and understand before giving advice. Leaders, it’s okay to say “I don’t know”. If you give it some time you can find someone who knows. Most of the time, its time to leave the nest and get established on your own. Of course, supporting and volunteering should continue threw out your life. Later on, when your kids are ready for the scouting experience you will “be prepared”. Tell them; Don’t feel rushed into making plans for goals you're not clear on. Not every career requires a degree, but every one of your choices will require experience. Remember to use your resources and thank hard about WHAT YOU REALLY WANT. No matter your path that you can choose you can always change your mind. You're not alone now or in the future. Others are there to help you on the journey. Cub Scout Leaders... Hard to believe it but that Webelos scout in your den could someday be a doctor that saves your life. Always listen carefully and seek to understand what scouts are telling you. We troop leaders need to listen and understand our scouts. There the future we are helping to mold today, into tomorrow's leaders.

Dr. Chris Friesen, Ph.D. is a psychologist who has always been fascinated by what makes people successful. He is a licensed clinical, forensic, and neuropsychologist that now primarily helps professional, national/Olympic, and up-and-coming elite athletes, as well as other high achievers such as professionals, entrepreneurs, executives, academics, and writers, achieve their personal and professional potential. He is the author of “Achieve: Find Out Who You Are, What You Really Want, And How To Make It Happen” Favorite Success Quote “He who has a why can bear almost any how” ~Fredrich Nietzche Key Points 1. You Must Have a Strong Why  If you want to succeed in any area of life, you need to have a powerful why to back up your goals. With a strong enough why, you can push through any challenge, overcome any obstacle, and succeed at any endeavor you set your mind to. However, if you do not have a strong reason for achieving your goals, your hopes and dreams will be relegated to “someday” and never achieved. 2. You Have to Know Yourself  One of the most important aspects of success is self-knowledge. If you do not understand what makes you tick and how you can operate at optimal levels, you will constantly be in an internal battle with yourself. You need to have a deep understanding of your personality and your character so that you can design a lifestyle around yourself and how you work best instead of living a lifestyle designed someone else. 3. You Need to Know What You Value Once you understand who you are in terms of your personality tendencies, the next step is to understand your values. You can be highly invested in a career that is perfect for your personality but completely incongruent with your values and you will be miserable. Take some time and figure out what is truly important to you. Do you value family, freedom, financial success, happiness, or your social life? Once you know what you value, your decision making will become automatic and you can easily understand what you need to do to live the most fulfilling life possible. 4. Your Personality is Not Set in Stone Just because you have a certain personality type does not mean that you cannot make changes to live a life more congruent with your goals. Your personality is roughly 50% genetic and 50% experiential. This means that if you expose yourself to the right situations you can change your psychology to work for you instead of against you. An introvert can become an extrovert, an undisciplined person can become disciplined, someone who does not handle stress well can learn to become calm in intense situations. You have to approach your personality intentionally and understand that you can make any change you want with enough time and effort. 5. You Need to Expose Yourself to Stress to Succeed  Life can be hard. Whether you are relentlessly pursuing your goals or sitting back and watching your life fly by, you will still be exposed to stress and challenges. However, this is a good thing! The more difficult the life you live, the stronger you will become and the more you will be able to accomplish. But you have to put yourself in situations that will stretch you and force you to adapt. Get out of your comfort zone and be willing to face challenges you aren’t sure you can overcome.

Episode 29 is about knowing what you want. Or not! We all don't know what we really want. When we do we can really take off in life. My goal in this episode is to lead you to What You Really Want!

This Episode is sponsored by Kelly Stark Today I will be talking about AFFIRMATIONS and how they can be used to change your life. Before I go on to that though, I hope that you have found the time to listen to the last show, episode 47 - BULLIES AND THE SILENT MAJORITY which ended up being my longest show yet at nearly 50 minutes. Like the LAW OF SUCCESS series, however, once I’d gotten into that topic, I just couldn’t bring myself to split it over 2 or to shorten it much more than it already was. Bullies are sometimes hard to spot but once they have been identified, they can be stopped by simple direct actions that allow YOU to take control and set them straight. You can also stand up and defend others when you see bullies raise their ugly heads. An affirmation is almost like a mantra. It does not really matter if what you are affirming is not totally true as yet. By repeating an affirmation over and over again, it becomes embedded in the subconscious mind, and eventually, it becomes your reality. Stuart Wilde UNQUOTE Today I’m talking about AFFIRMATIONS and it’s part of a subject that came up many times in my LAWS OF SUCCESS series in the form of AUTO SUGGESTION. Napoleon Hill was a real believer in this and used it to achieve the success of which he speaks. As a reminder AUTO SUGGESTION is the hypnotic or subconscious adoption of an idea which one has originated oneself. It is like REPROGRAMMING YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND to believe what you want it to believe and Hill used it very often to replace old beliefs with new ones that will serve us better. Before I ever knew what affirmations were or how they worked I was using them. I haven’t talked about it too much lately so for those of you that are new listeners, but following my first feature film, I had what used to be known as a nervous breakdown. Looking back now, I would more accurately call it a stress-related dissociative breakdown or episode, followed by PTSD. It was not a fun time, in fact it was extremely destructive, but without it you wouldn’t have FILM PRO PRODUCTIVITY - I honestly don’t know where I’d be or what I’d be doing now if I hadn’t had that negative experience in my life and the positive that has come of it, in the form of this show and a healthier outlook and work/ life ethic I don’t think would ever have come to pass. Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down. Oprah Winfrey UNQUOTE When I had my breakdown, I was lost and uncertain of what was going on, and despite what you may think, there wasn’t any immediate help for me. Well that’s not entirely true, my family and some friends were there, but it is sadly notable that many of those whom I thought to be my friends melted into the background and disappeared. That is the stigma of mental health. It was a small price to pay perhaps though, for learning who were my real friends and who were not. My experience with the NHS was really pretty atrocious. When I went to the doctor, I saw a locum GP for 5 minutes who sent me out the door with a leaflet and a prescription for Prozac. That was his solution to the complex problem of a mental health matter. I gave up on the Prozac after 2 weeks, as the last thing I needed was to be drugged into distancing myself further from my problem. It took the NHS three months to get me an appointment to meet a psychiatrist who was absolutely frickin’ useless – if anything he annoyed me – but thanks though to my friend Loraine, who is a psychiatric nurse and a very influential doctor whom she knew from down south and in chief too by financial aid from British Actors Equity’s medical partner BAPAM, I was eventually able to attend therapy sessions with an awesome therapist who helped me get back on track. As an aside here, talking therapy, even expert therapy doesn’t cost as much as you might think it does. It’s a good thing, and I think that a lot of folk might make use of the services that are available. Before all that kicked in though I had nothing but that leaflet, the GP gave me to help me out. It was for a service called STEPS, an organisation that ran classes on stress and on depression. With no other options, I signed up for both. They’ve killed that organisation now, or renamed it and reorganised it to save money but at the time it ran classes every 6 weeks for an intake of 130 people who were suffering from stress. I’ll go into some of what I learned in a future episode as I plan to do a show on STRESS AND ANXIETY quite soon.   “What mental health needs is more sunlight, more candour, and more unashamed conversation.” – Glenn Close UNQUOTE What I learned from the other class, the depression one is that I didn’t have depression, but it was very interesting nonetheless. More of a small talking therapy group with a lot of people that had had a hard time. It was there that I learned that Perfectionism, which I did an episode on in season 1 was likely the chief cause of stress in my life. For that realisation alone the 6 weeks were worth it. I took these classes very seriously and studied for them and that’s what led me, unknowingly, into the world of affirmations. I, like many others on social networking, post a productivity or positivity quote every day, and I have occasionally been given some grief for doing so. That’s the internet for you. Many think it lazy of me as it’s a popularity tool that some use to make themselves seem intelligent or whatever. I post them for 2 good reasons. 1/ This is a productivity show and these quotes are an awesome gift for promotion of this podcast. and 2/ because I used quotes like this TO CREATE AFFIRMATIONS which saved me from a life confused by PTSD and stress and put me back on track. I didn’t call this FIND YOUR WAY with affirmations just to make a snazzy title. I wanted you to know that, if you are lost, or uncertain in your life in some way, that you can use affirmations as I did, to get yourself on a new and better track, to create a positive lifestyle and live a better, happier and more prosperous life. In effect, although I certainly didn’t think in these terms at the time, it also reasserts your values and that in turn strengthens your ability to make decisions. When I was on my knees, post breakdown, I found myself naturally building this list of 50 affirmations, many of them built or shortened from quotes I had found online and I used it for at least a year, probably two, whenever I was uncertain or frightened, nervous or demoralised - to help me move forward. For the record, this was my list. Be Content. Master what you do most often. Give your mum a call. Practice Stoicism - Stoicism is centred around being unaffected by misfortune. Recognize that mishaps will inevitably occur so be constantly ready and open to experiencing them. Get up early. Perfection is not when there is nothing to add, but when there is nothing more to take away. Stop focusing on what you don’t want to happen. Justify less. Go for a walk in the park. If you don’t know where you are going, you’ll end up someplace else. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don’t save it for a special occasion. Today is special. Pay off your debts and don't go in debt. Send your loved one's flowers. Think of a reason later. Eat a piece of fruit. Drink your water. Whistle. Make it a habit to do nice things for people who will never find out. Keep your friends' secrets. Listen more than you talk. Be frugal. Take classes. Focus on getting better, rather than being good. Stop worrying so much. Start accepting things when they are less than perfect. If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging. Take naps. If you are not saving at least 10% of your salary, you are not saving enough. Yield to peace. Stop letting others bring you down to their level. Your family and true friends love you, no matter what. Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance. You should not confuse your career/job with your life. Eat Healthily. Take the opportunity to watch the sunrise and sunset. Notice the beauty of small moments. Listen to Music. Smile. Get a life mantra - change it when you think you need another… e.g. Life is short - get on with it. Stop endlessly checking emails and surfing the web, look for something good to do. Do not work harder when the solution is working smarter. Don’t buy stuff you don’t need. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind. Invest in Relationships. Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good. When upset, remember: "This too shall pass" Stop spending time with the wrong people. Life is too short to spend time with people who suck the happiness out of you. Mind Your Own Business. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment. Never confuse the complex with the difficult. Nothing is permanent. However good or bad a situation is now, it will change. Heraclitus The best is yet to come. Never confuse perception with reality. These were my 50 affirmations. If you were to do this for yourself I’m certain that some or all would be different. I used it until I could get back on top and trust my instincts again. As I said before – I really used it to re-train my inner self and re-learn my values. Trust me, when you are lost and uncertain, you need all the help you can get. And when I say I used them, I didn’t speak them out as affirmations are more commonly used, I just read and re-read them very often, and I tried to understand them deeply and believe in them… and this wasn’t a chore either btw, because I really needed them. I still feel a bit pathetic that I picked up PTSD not from a warzone, but from a breakdown and it’s repercussions on my life and work following a feature film that was made in good spirit and with a lot of hope, but it’s a sad truth here. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder caused by very stressful, frightening or distressing events, and that anxiety or fear is constantly with you. It blocks your ability to think straight and make decisions. MY USE of affirmations, as I mentioned earlier was done UNKNOWINGLY of what they actually were, but out of a necessity for focus and order. The affirmations kept me on track. They saved me, and they could save you too. Lesson AFFIRMATIONS are simply sentences aimed to affect the conscious and the subconscious mind, so that in turn, they affect our behaviour, thinking patterns, habits and environment. The words automatically and involuntarily, bring up related mental images which inspire, energize and motivate us. The affirmations and the resultant mental images get engraved on the subconscious mind, which in turn, changes your behaviour, habits, actions and reactions. They motivate. They keep the mind focused on the goal. They influence the subconscious mind and activate its powers. They change the way you think and behave, and this can bring you into contact with new people, who can help you with your goals. The positive statements make you feel positive, energetic and active, and therefore, put you in a better position to transform your inner and external worlds. Stephen Covey says that: A good affirmation has five basic ingredients: it's personal, it's positive, it's present tense, it's visual, and it's emotional. UNQUOTE The affirmations will affect your subconscious mind, and trigger it to act on your behalf. It is important that you don’t just repeat positive affirmations as lip service. You need to believe in them and want them to come true. They change your mindset and do not allow room for negative thoughts in our mind. This leads to positivity, optimism, and recognizing opportunities. In turn, your positive and encouraging words enhance our energy and your skill to take advantage of opportunities. I totally realise that all this might be a little difficult to get your head around, as there will be some inner resistance and disbelief, especially if you have been thinking negative thoughts all your life. As you continue though, the resistance will fade away, and your life will begin to change and improve in accordance with the words you are repeating. Swami Kriyananda wrote, “The greatest mistake people make, is to belittle their own power to change themselves.” It is natural for the mind to bring up doubts and negative thoughts, especially if your current environment and situation are very different from what you want to achieve. Persevere, and don’t let your negative thoughts and doubts conquer you. Successconciousness.com says that AFFIRMATIONS ARE DYNAMIC AND PRACTICAL — not wishful thinking. One reason they work is because they are based on higher truths, which, perhaps, we have yet to realize on a conscious level. The thoughts you often think and the words you often repeat, have a great effect on your life, your behaviour, and on how people treat you. These thoughts and words, in time, become reality. This article also warns that you have to be careful with the words you repeat, and stay away from words and thoughts, which you do not want to become reality in your life. You must stay away from negative thinking, dwelling on the past and thinking about problems and fears. Instead - program your mind to think on WHAT YOU REALLY WANT, not on what you don’t. When I created my list, I read it every day, several times, and at night just before I went to sleep. As I researched this show though, many articles suggest that you devote some special times during the day for repeating them. Others say that you should repeat them wherever you are, and whenever you want and have the time. There’s a mixed message if ever I heard one. In short, do what works for you. This is just a tool, but another very powerful one that comes to you entirely free. Be the master of your own destiny. Take AFFIRMATIONS seriously and you will benefit from them. Call To Action As You Think, So Shall You Be. Your call to action today is to create your own list. Look around the internet and build an affirmations map which will help you to find your way. If you are lost then you will likely know that you are. This is a tool and a crutch which will give you strength and focus. Take it seriously and it will be immensely useful to you. “Don’t let your struggle become your identity.” Find the affirmations you need to move you forward and take back control. REPLACE your NEGATIVE THOUGHTS with POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS, over and again, until this becomes a habit. Ending Thanks for taking the time to listen to my musings on the subject of affirmations. Autosuggestion is a powerful tool and if you have the courage to believe in it then you will benefit from this. Next week I’m going to be talking about a blight on the modern world which comes in the form of Outrage Porn. It’s possibly not what you are thinking of but it’s another fascinating subject and one you won't want to miss. For now, though let me end with my 48th Affirmation which was based on the words of  Heraclitus Nothing is permanent. However good or bad a situation is now, it will change. Now, take control of your own destiny, keep on shootin’ and join me next time on FILM PRO PRODUCTIVITY!

About Dr. Chris Friesen, Ph.D. I've always been fascinated by biographies of successful people and those who have overcome adversity. I can still remember how enthralled I was as a teenager when I read the autobiographies of Arthur Ashe and Christopher Reeve. Their stories and the inspirational books of Anthony Robbins (Awaken the Giant Within and Unlimited Power) and Stephen Covey (The 7 Habits of Highly Successful People and First Things First) captured my attention about our potential as humans and our ability to improve ourselves. This was personalized for me when I began to play competitive hockey. As a goaltender, I quickly realized the importance of mental training in addition to physical training. I was able to see steady improvements in all aspects of my performance when I consistently incorporated strategies I gleaned from my interest in self-help literature, fitness techniques, and nutrition. It was with these experiences that I began to form my interest in psychology. Upon realizing that a professional sports career was not in my future, I turned my attention to earning my first degree in Health Studies before pursuing a second degree in Psychology. After 5 years of full time study to obtain both of my undergraduate degrees, I still hadn't satisfied my appetite for learning about the mind and brain. So I applied and was accepted to study clinical psychology in graduate school. I decided to study clinical psychology over psychiatry in my post-graduate work because of psychology's stronger focus on understanding the full spectrum of human nature as opposed to psychiatry's primary emphasis on psychopathology. Now as a licensed psychologist in Ontario, Canada, my official areas of practice include clinical psychology, clinical neuropsychology, and forensic/correctional psychology. My training and experience crosses a broad spectrum of psychological difficulties including working with individuals with anxiety, depression, personality disorders, dementias (e.g., Alzheimer's disease), brain injuries (from sports concussion to severe traumatic brain injuries), and those involved in the criminal justice system (i.e., offenders of all types). I have worked clinically in a university psychology clinic, psychiatric hospital, rehabilitation hospital for those with brain injuries, geriatric hospital, prison and in private practices. I believed that to truly understand success and potential, I needed to thoroughly understand and work with people of all types including those who were at their lowest points and those who were not living up to their potential. I now primarily focus on professional, national/Olympic, and up-and-coming elite athletes, as well as other high achievers such as professionals, entrepreneurs, executives, academics, and writers, achieve their personal and professional potential. I am currently director of Friesen Sport & Performance Psychology and a contributor to Success.com.

Dr. Chris Friesen, Ph.D from Friesen Performance, and author of the book, ACHIEVE: Find Out Who You Are, What You Really Want, And How To Make It Happen, tells us how to find our life's purpose with small changes and a number of easy techniques. He talks about the 5 minute rule to instantly overcome procrastination, the 10 minute rule to stop bad habits, the structure of your environment (great for finishing that "big" task you've been avoiding) and why it's so important to have your "why" (values, purpose, and mission). Display TranscriptRobert Plank: I have a quick question for you. Are you unsure of your life's purpose? Are you afraid you're living below your true potential. Do you have trouble staying motivated and focused on your goals? If any of those sound like you or they could sound like you or they do sound like you at times, we have Dr. Chris Frieson. He's the author of the book Achieve: Find out who you are, what you really want, and how to make it happen. He's going to be talking to us about all kinds of cool and fun mindset stuff. How are things, today Dr. Chris? Chris Friesen: They're very good. Thanks for having me on your show. Robert Plank: Cool. I'm glad to have you here. Tell me about yourself and tell me about this book and what you do and about all the cool things you can do to help people here. Chris Friesen: Sure, sure. I'm a psychologist. I'm trained as a clinical, forensic, and neuropsychological. These are fancy ways of saying trained to diagnose and assess people with emotional problems, criminal problems (of course that's forensic), and neuropsychological is brain problems like Azheimers, brain injury, stroke. That kind of thing. A lot of my work these days is really focused on what I call high achievers. These are just people a lot of them are athletes, professional. Some Olympic, but also entrepreneurs, writers, academics. People who just want to take their game, their life, to the next level. I do work with people and long story short I wrote this book you just described which is the first part of the High Achievement handbook. There's going to be three actual books in the series. This one is really about exactly what you said, finding out who you are, what's really important to you, what you really want, and to make sure that what you do with your life on the day to day basis is actually the right thing for you. Then, how to make it happen on a day to day basis in terms of being productive, efficient, that kind of thing. Robert Plank: That's cool. I think the people that we're making this show for are online entrepreneurs and I keep thinking back to when I had the day job mindset and now I have the entrepreneur mindset and it seems like, let me know your thoughts on this, but it feels like to me there's a lot of people who haven't quite woken up, yet. A lot of people are at their day job doing the nine to five kind of stuff and it seems like a lot of us have so many things holding us back, but we're not yet really awake. I think that a few years ago when I made the jump from the day job lifestyle to the entrepreneur lifestyle I had to almost relearn everything and the big thing that all these things that have previously been holding me back, they were still there, but I didn't realize they were there and it seems almost like making the jump and quitting the day job and starting a business and taking bigger risks brought all these little things in hiding to light. Does that makes sense? Chris Friesen: Yeah. For sure. When we have day jobs, and I'm actually just like you in a lot of ways. I worked in a hospital settings. I worked in a prison. That kind of thing. When I broke off and have been working on my own for about six years, now just completely on my own as a consultant I guess you would call it. It's just like an entrepreneur in the professional psychology coaching or sports psychology realm. When we're working for companies, their very structured.
