THE SPOTLIGHT EFFECT #145
from Film Pro Productivity · host Carter Ferguson
The Spotlight Effect is a cognitive bias that often leads us to overestimate the extent to which our actions or perceived flaws are noticed and remembered by others. It's well demonstrated by this quote "You wouldn't worry so much about what others think of you if you realized how seldom they do."

Eleanor RooseveltSelf-importance is a trap because the moment we start to think that we actually matter is the moment when things start to go wrong. The truth is that you are supremely unimportant and nothing matters. All of man's striving is for nothing; all effort is wasted. To realize that everything is meaningless is tremendously liberating since it then leaves us completely free to create our own lives and ignore the plans that others have for us. Tom HodgkinsonI am forever grateful that I got some training in the theatre - it reduces performance anxiety. Julia StilesIf you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of car payments.
