It can be so easy to be distracted from our creative work by outside influences. It can also be just as easily distracted to get caught up in theย intricacies ofย ย our craft, stumbling over techniques, or perfecting details, while ignoring the bigger picture.

That’s why I love Michael Nobbs’ newsletter. He keeps a full archive of his Getting Your Important Work Doneย emails here, and they include a range of helpful information, motivation, and inspirational tidbits on staying focused, prioritizing, processes, and doing what you love in life.

Nobbs is the author of Sustainable Creative, aย helpful bookย about “learning to use whatever energy you have available, however limited it may be, to maintain a creative life.”

    that’s the tricky part of being creative, getting organized, prioritizing, and getting things done! I may have to read book to find out how to do that.

      I find example after example of creative work left unfinished, because its creator can’t prioritize or organize ๐Ÿ˜› I’m implementing more of these strategies in my own work and presentations and it’s making a big difference in productivity.
