Ma rêverie

A dystopian science fiction horror film directed by Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia which is set in a prison aka the hole which houses 2 inmates per floor. The inmates are switched around between floors every month. Takes you on an emotional ride from the lens of the main character played by Iván Massagué. It emphasizes on the selfish gene in our dna and how we cannot escape it when situations are dire.

Starring Dustin Hoffman, this movie exposes the harsh realities of inequality and sexism that women had to face in the 80′s on film sets. The lead actor stands up against this injustice in his own way and sets an example for the other women on the set to disrupt the status quo. Reminded me of the heforShe movement but in an unexpected fashion. The director finds a nice way to place all this in front of us in a light hearted manner.

How to build motivation? 

* Remind yourself of the why

* Add personal, meaningful reasons to the tasks that you put off. Make yourself remember why you took them on.

How to break work down?

* Identify the distinct parts that form the whole.

* Create a simple timeline.

It doesn't have to be complicated.

Start with the due date.

Go back day by day (or week by week) and write down what you'd like to have done by then, until you arrive at today.

Put this timeline where you'll see it (remember: out of sight, out of mind).

Start working on the first piece of the puzzle.

How to add a trigger

* Create a cue

*  When you sit down to work, you can take your to-do list and give yourself 5-15 minutes to decide which task to start with

* At the end of one work day, determine where you want to start the next day and put it into your calendar.
