Is doom and gloom all you ever see when you look at your future? Do you constantly prevent yourself from doing things because of fear? In this lesson, I (Phil Svitek) give you action steps to overcome your anxieties about the future utilizing a technique called negative visualization. I’ll walk you through each step and explain how it can benefit your life to think through all the worse case scenarios in order to overcome them. On the surface, it might feel counterproductive, but negative visualization is actually a practice that many top companies utilize in order to avoid costly mistakes. And you can too! Let your worrying mind become an asset, not a liability! If you have questions or comments, please leave a comment.

Are you looking to become more effective in your life - both professionally and personally? Do you find yourself wasting time on useless tasks? This lesson combats everyone’s need for efficiency by telling you what you do is much more important that how you do it. Using examples from Tim Ferriss’s The 4-Hour Workweek, I (Phil Svitek) showcase the differences between being efficient and being effective and how you too can accomplish more of what you want. The answers might not be what you expect, especially if you’re a millennial that’s been praised solely on the basis of your participation effort because in the real world, work and otherwise, participation isn’t the primary metric. Successfully completing tasks is the primary metric. I show you how to do just that. Check out the lesson and leave a comment with your thoughts on this episode as well as some time management tips you might have!

In this lesson, I (Phil Svitek) am doing something a little different - I’m going to share one of my favorite movie scenes and extrapolate the lesson I take away from it because movies are a beautiful tool that can move us & more importantly, they have the power to teach us about life. The movie I’m highlighting is Elia Kazan’s On the Waterfront starring Marlon Brando. While it’s primarily known for its famous “I coulda been a contender” scene, I am using a different scene from the movie to showcase. This movie holds such a precious spot in my heart because it teaches us not only the true meaning of helping others but to also believe in ourselves. After you check out this lesson I hope you’re inspired to watch the full movie, whether it's your first time or you’re just revisiting it. Let me know what you took away from the scene or the full movie (if you’ve seen it). PS: Next week I’m covering effectiveness vs efficiency!

In today’s social media driven world, I (Phil Svitek) wonder about the why of it all. Why are we so obsessed with social media? Why does it consume our time so frequently? Why does it cause us stress sometimes? One day I had an epiphany. Social media is a form of living vicariously. Many times we use social media as a means to judge and compare ourselves to whoever it is we’re looking at. But what we’re really saying is I want to be that person. I want to look like that person. I want to have the experiences that person gets to have. I want to have the money this person has. And so on and so forth. In this lesson, I offer an alternative to FOMO (fear of missing out). Check it out and let comment with your thoughts on the episode as well as how you use social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook or Twitter.

There’s been a gradual decline in reading across America. This is very sad, because ultimately, it’s only hurting those who aren’t reading. There’s so many benefits to reading - in this week’s lesson I (Phil Svitek) share all those benefits. Here’s just a sample of one - Brazilian professor Paulo Freire says this about reading: “Reading is not exhausted merely by decoding the written word or written language, but rather anticipated by and extending into knowledge of the world. Reading the world precedes reading the word, and the subsequent reading of the word cannot dispense with continually reading the world. Language and reality are dynamically intertwined. The understanding attained by critical reading of a text implies perceiving the relationship between text and context.” That’s right - reading has proven to create a greater empathy and understanding of the world. In today’s global landscape, this because ultra important, in my mind at least. And it saddens me when I hear people abandoning the act of reading all together. Anyway, I’ll highlight other benefits to reading and how you too can read a book a week just like the most successful people in the world. Comment below with any questions or comments you have and more importantly the books you’re reading and recommend to others!

In order for me (Phil Svitek) to run such a large scale entity as AfterBuzz TV, it’s important for me to have systems and routines in place both on a personal and company level. In this lesson, I’ll first define what I mean by routines and highlight how structure is the backbone of routines that then create a system, which is really a way of saying how you carry out the routines or processes. The better the system, the more effective your routines are. I’ll begin by talking about you as an individual and then expand it into a larger context. Now, I know some of you are adverse to routines because you have a negative association with the word and so I’ll kick things off with explaining how routines can liberate your life rather than restrict it. Comment below with any questions or opinions you have.

I (Phil Svitek) will take you back to the basics. The basics of what, you might be thinking? It’s not the basics of any subject but rather the importance of allowing yourself to reset to a starting position. In every discipline there is a starting position. The thing or things you should learn first. In learning these, you can then advance to the next, more difficult part of that discipline. It’s like climbing stairs. You take one by one from the bottom until you get to the top. A lot of this is so plain and simple and yet every day people try to skip sections or whole parts entirely. They are too impatient. Learning the fundamentals seems boring and wasteful of their time. They want to be masters right away. Nothing in life works this way. Trust me. It may for a short time, more than likely attributed to dumb luck, but in time you’ll be exposed a fraud. In this lesson, I’ll highlight three things. First, how do we define the basics, secondly what does resetting to a starting position mean and three, why is it important for you to do so. To reinforce the lesson, I use quotes from Kobe Bryant, Jim Rohn, Gandhi, Vince Lombardi and others. Comment below with any questions or comments you have.

Humans have lots of ideas, some good, some bad, but nonetheless we all have lots of them. One of my (Phil Svitek) biggest pet peeves, whether for myself or others, is when those good ideas don’t get executed. I’m almost certain you can relate to this feeling in your own life. How many times have you thought of something brilliant but it never got done? You think about it from time to time, say you’ll get started but never do. That’s the problem with ideas. They’re a dime a dozen. It’s the execution that matters. And working at the speed of thought, if truly done properly, eradicates the bottlenecks, frustrations, obstacles, and so on of the process in taking an idea from concept to conception. Allow me to illustrate what I mean by working at the speed of thought and how you can apply it to your projects. I’ll cite filmmaker Robert Rodriquez among others as part of this lesson. Comment below with any questions or comments you have.
