Keep Going
by Austin Kleon
Kleon's third short illustrated book: ten ways to stay creative in good times and bad. Every day is Groundhog Day, build a bliss station, forget the noun do the verb, demons hate fresh air. It is gentle, modest and useful when the work feels pointless.
Read it if…
you are tired, not blocked, and want a kind push to continue.
Skip it if…
you want technique; it is encouragement.
Three things you will actually use
- Focus on the daily, not the career.
- Disconnect to connect with the work.
- Take a walk; it fixes more than it should.
Do this first
Build a 'bliss station,' a place or a time where you are unreachable, and use it tomorrow.
Our verdict
Short, warm and wise; a good companion.
