Procrastination is a beast many of us fight daily and unfortunately lose out to. We may have will power that allow us to gain small victories but the war ends up being lost via abandoned passion projects and other dreams. So how do we win this ongoing struggle and become more productive like the people we aspire to be, whether that be Oprah, The Rock, Kevin Hart, Tyler Perry, Maria Menounos or even AfterBuzz TV creator Keven Undergaro? The answer is simpler than you think and it’s scientifically proven to work through a technique called implementation intention, which empowers the prefrontal cortex and hacks the limbic system thanks to procedural memory. Join me (Phil Svitek) as I take you step by step through the entire process so you can take action and accomplish more of what you want in your life. I’ll help you identify growth tasks vs maintenance tasks among other things. Don’t worry. It’s all simple - it just takes work, like all things. Comment below with any thoughts, questions or opinions you may have for me or Juliet Vibert.

ABOUT THE SERIES:
With over 15 years of experience WORKING in the entertainment industry at the top level, learning from the best of the best, I (Phil Svitek) am now on a journey of paying it forward. I believe that ideas are meant to be shared, not hoarded and furthermore, if you are successful then you owe the next generation a roadmap. As someone who has been there across various roles such as producer, director, editor, writer, podcaster and even high level executive, I know the struggles and what it takes to tackle and overcome the challenges that artists face on the road to accomplishment. As you already may know too well, an artist’s life can be extremely volatile, with many high’s and low’s - it takes more than just industry skills and knowledge to make it. To be successful, you need to have the right mental fortitude to reach your dreams. I believe in a 360 approach - combining technical theory with practice, along with personal development skills that are directly related to what it takes to be successful as a digital artist. Each week, I draw from these experiences, learnings and exploration to offer you insights, concepts and findings with specific takeaways to benefit you. I'll recommend books, podcasts, movies, etc to help further illustrate the ideas highlighted within each episode. For more free resources, visit http://philsvitek.com.
