MARK STRUCZEWSKI

In this clip from a presentation I gave way back in November 2016, I talk about how you have plenty of hours in the day, intentionality, leaking time and how to maintain control at work.

Reminders are very important for your productivity. And there are plenty of awesome reminders available but I recently started using a unique way to be reminded.

In 1980, Jack Nicholson was in the horror film, The Shining.

If you're not familiar with the film, The Shining is about Jack Torrance (Nicholson), an aspiring writer and recovering alcoholic, who accepts a position as the off-season caretaker of the isolated historic Overlook Hotel in the Colorado Rockies. Wintering over with Jack are his wife Wendy Torrance (Duvall) and young son Danny Torrance (Lloyd). Danny possesses "the shining", psychic abilities that enable him to see into the hotel's horrific past. The hotel's cook, Dick Hallorann (Crothers), also has this and is able to telepathically communicate with Danny. The hotel had a previous winter caretaker who went insane and killed his family and himself. After a winter storm leaves the Torrances snowbound, Jack's sanity deteriorates due to the influence of the supernatural forces that inhabit the hotel, placing his wife and son in danger (Wikipedia).

I was 15 when this film came out and when I first saw it, it scared the crap...

In this clip from a presentation, I talk about my love for simplicity, the power of momentum, I ask "how productive are you really?", I discuss FOMO and notification cleanses.

Goals are very important for your productivity. For without goals, it's more like you're in a boat out in the middle of the ocean without any oars and that's leaking. Goals help you become productive.
