  • HOW TO STOP WASTING TIME ON UNCLEAR THINKING #189

    HOW TO STOP WASTING TIME ON UNCLEAR THINKING #189
    Apr 5 2026
    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 FergusonLINKSOfficial website: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/filmproproductivityContact: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/contactIndie Film Hustle: https://indiefilmhustle.com/ifh-podcast-network-filmmaking-and-screenwriting/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqo0Zld2Lm2lJDpDh3GsuZgQUOTES“The first principle is that you must not fool yourself, and you are the easiest person to fool.” – Richard Feynman“Confidence is a feeling, not a measure of accuracy.” – Daniel Kahneman“When you have to prove the value of your ideas by persuading other people to pay for them, it clears out an awful lot of woolly thinking.” – Tim O’Reilly“When the next step is unclear, the best way to figure it out is to take action.” – Scott Belsky“There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all.” – Peter DruckerThis episode is sponsored by GBM Castingwho have been supplying SAs to the screen and media industry throughout Scotland for over 20 years.

  • THE BRUTAL TRUTH ABOUT TIME #188

    THE BRUTAL TRUTH ABOUT TIME #188
    Mar 29 2026
    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 FergusonLINKSOfficial website: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/filmproproductivityContact: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/contactIndie Film Hustle: https://indiefilmhustle.com/ifh-podcast-network-filmmaking-and-screenwriting/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqo0Zld2Lm2lJDpDh3GsuZgQUOTES“You can’t do it all. But you can do what matters.” – Oliver Burkeman“Don’t count the days, make the days count.” – Muhammad Ali“The really important kind of freedom involves attention, and awareness, and discipline, and effort, and being able truly to care about other people.” – David Foster Wallace“You can do anything, but not everything.” – David Allen“It is not that we have a short time to live, but that we waste a lot of it.” – Seneca“The difference between successful people and really successful people is that really successful people say no to almost everything.” – Warren Buffett“Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work at hand. The sun’s rays do not burn until brought to a focus.” – Alexander Graham Bell“Procrastination is the fear of success.” – Denis Waitley“Rest when you’re weary. Refresh and renew yourself.” – Ralph Marston“I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it.” – Pablo Picasso“Wherever you are, be all there.” – Jim Elliot“The key to a good life is not the absence of negativity. It is the ability to navigate it.” – Oliver BurkemanThis episode is sponsored by GBM Castingwho have been supplying SAs to the screen and media industry throughout Scotland for over 20 years.

  • BEAN SOUP THEORY: WHAT BATGIRL TEACHES ABOUT QUITTING PROJECTS #187

    BEAN SOUP THEORY: WHAT BATGIRL TEACHES ABOUT QUITTING PROJECTS #187
    Mar 22 2026
    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.

Sometimes it’s about knowing when to quit.” – Jennifer Donnelly“In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.” – Theodore Roosevelt“The cost of a thing is the amount of what I will call life which is required to be exchanged for it.” – Henry David Thoreau“When it comes to quitting, the most painful thing to quit is who you are.” – Annie Duke“The sunk cost fallacy is a hell of a drug.” – Dan Olson“In writing, you must kill all your darlings.” – William FaulknerThis episode is sponsored by GBM Castingwho have been supplying SAs to the screen and media industry throughout Scotland for over 20 years.
