  • UNFINISHED BUSINESS: WHY NOT FINISHING THINGS IS COSTING YOU MORE THAN YOU THINK #184

    UNFINISHED BUSINESS: WHY NOT FINISHING THINGS IS COSTING YOU MORE THAN YOU THINK #184
    Mar 1 2026
    Unfinished business rarely looks dramatic. It looks sensible, cautious, even responsible. But beneath the surface, it quietly drains energy, attention, and belief. In this episode, I unpack why half-finished projects, unresolved endings, and drifting commitments cost far more than we realise. This isn’t about laziness or motivation. It’s about self-protection, disappointment, and how unfinished work reshapes how we think, decide, and create.Trying less isn’t laziness. It’s often a response to being burned too many times.

  • FIVE LESSONS ABOUT LIFE AND TRUST WE CAN LEARN FROM THE TRAITORS #183

    FIVE LESSONS ABOUT LIFE AND TRUST WE CAN LEARN FROM THE TRAITORS #183
    Feb 22 2026
    Why do groups make bad decisions even when everyone involved is intelligent and well-intentioned?This episode uses The Traitors as a pressure test for real human behaviour. By stripping away politeness and certainty, it reveals how trust forms, how beliefs harden, and why productivity often collapses in groups under pressure.The focus isn’t the TV show itself, but what it exposes about information, bias, emotional control, and short-term thinking – and how misunderstanding these patterns quietly drains energy at work and in life.

  • THE INTELLIGENCE TRAP: WHY SMART PEOPLE STRUGGLE WITH PRODUCTIVITY Part 2 #182

    THE INTELLIGENCE TRAP: WHY SMART PEOPLE STRUGGLE WITH PRODUCTIVITY Part 2 #182
    Feb 15 2026
    Why does knowing what to do still not translate into doing it?In part two of this two-part series, the focus shifts from diagnosing the intelligence trap to dealing with it. This episode looks at how systems, attention, and environment matter more than motivation or willpower when it comes to sustained productivity.Rather than pushing harder, the episode explores how to redirect intelligence by changing structure, protecting attention, and designing conditions where progress becomes the default instead of a daily fight. “Motivation is unreliable. Systems are what keep work moving when energy drops.”Carter Ferguson (Host) LINKSOfficial website: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/filmproproductivityContact: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/contactIndie Film Hustle Network: https://indiefilmhustle.com/ifh-podcast-network-filmmaking-and-screenwriting/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqo0Zld2Lm2lJDpDh3GsuZg QUOTES“Amateurs sit and wait for inspiration, the rest of us just get up and go to work.” Stephen King“You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.” James Clear“Your focus determines your reality.” George Lucas“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” Aristotle“Success is the product of daily habits, not once-in-a-lifetime transformations.” James Clear“Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.” Vincent van GoghTHIS EPISODE IS SPONSORED BY JAMES MCCREADIE & DEBBIE MAYREFERENCESThe Science of Intelligent Achievement – Isaiah HankelDeep Work – Cal NewportSystems over motivationAttention as the primary bottleneckEnvironment shaping behaviourHabits and structural changePlease check out my friends shows:FILM FIGHTS WITH FRIENDS PODCAST with Stephen Koepfer and Paul Varacchi (etc)THE FILMMAKERS PODCAST with Giles Alderson (etc.)THE HORROR CUT with Stephen Kerr and Gary HewittWILDE WORLD with David WildeFILMMAKING CONVERSATIONS with Damian SwabyMUSIC & CREDITSA Himitsu Music: Adventures by A HimitsuCommons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...Music released by Argofox https://www.youtu.be/8BXNwnxaVQEMusic provided by Audio Library https://www.youtu.be/MkNeIUgNPQ8Contact the artist: x.jonaz@gmail.comhttps://www.facebook.com/ahimitsuhttps://www.twitter.com/ahimitsu1https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgFwu-j5-xNJml2FtTrrB3A
