Summary

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.

The Phil Blog Phillip Hong Back when Phil was a young kid, he kept a note of his thoughts in a black book. This black book has been filled and he has moved on to journals of different colours, but it didn't seem complete to just write it. As a result, Phil decided to record his journal. Green Millennium, The by Fritz Leiber (1910 - 1992) LibriVox From the classic science-fiction and fantasy author Fritz Leiber comes this intriguing tale of a green cat. From the author's introduction: "The world Phil Gish lived in was not a pretty one, and Phil didn't enjoy living in it. He was disillusioned, purposeless, hopeless, and haunted by the fear that a robot would take over his job. But then Phil was a timid person, not much given to adventure seeking. If he hadn't been so mild he might have found his kicks at All Amusements, the syndicated playground where anyone could find fun, providing he had the proper sadistic and otherwise aberrated elements in his personality. But Phil was good—and bored.And then one day a cat perched on his window—not an ordinary cat—a green cat. For the first time in years Phil was happy. He promptly named the cat Lucky because he somehow knew that as long as the cat stayed with him he'd feel fine. But Lucky didn't stay long. In a matter of minutes he had disappeared into All Amusements park. It Phil Cruise Cast Philip Suarez A short and entertaining podcast for the latest cruise news and reviews from the UK Dear Phil Liz and Lucy Gnoh Productions/SRN Mediaworks Dear Phil Liz and Lucy is a series of "letters" recieved by staff from listeners; okay, it's actually a parody of the "heartfelt" letters radio and television stations get which really don't make sense.
