Increase Your Productivity with a Movie Mindset

Think about the last time you went to a movie that you really wanted to see. You purchase your ticket. You go over to the concession stand to get your popcorn and soda with possibly a box of goobers. You look for the seat farthest away from the obnoxious group of teenagers who keep chuckling as they loudly explain amongst themselves how they've seen the movie five times and what the ending is. You nestle down in your seat and watch your movie; jumping at every blast and gasping at every twist. When the credits begin to scroll, you stand up exiting the theater, thinking to yourself how good a movie that was.

Wasn't that a good experience? Don't you always find one of the characters in the movie that has what you want or does what you want to do? How can this increase your productivity? Wouldn't it be cool if someone shot a movie about your life?

Well you can direct and star in your own movie today. You can become a professional actor or actress right now if you wanted to. Well just without the $20 million dollar paycheck. What I mean is that you can start becoming the person you would like to be and increase your productivity all with a little change of perspective.

You can start right now by beginning to think of your life as a motion picture already in the process of shooting. Only you can direct your life and only you can act out your life. Of course you won't necessarily have a $40 million dollar budget but you don't need one. Your movie starts with your thoughts and how you convert them into actions.

The key to a good movie is purpose. What the hell is the movie about? What is the movie trying to say? Your life is exactly the same in that regard. When you look back what will you say your life was about? How will others have viewed your life? What is your life's purpose? These types of questions determine whether your movie is a blockbuster or a flop.
