🧠+ 😃 Issue #3 (from Chris J Wilson)
I didn’t publish a long article this week. Not one more than tweet length (excluding work). It’s been a long time since that was last true.
There’s nothing wrong with that. I’ve been working on some articles and creating other content (it’samazingwhatyoucandowithaplectrum). Even more importantly, I’ve been feeding my mind and soul.
I wouldn’t have felt the same 10 years ago. In my early 20s I became a real productivity junky. I felt like I constantly needed to be doing more. To be producing over consuming.
Now I see it as more nuanced.
While I still think it’s good to focus on contributing, giving, and producing we can’t do it all the time (well, I can’t!) I need to consume information and relax to be more effective.
It’s like a field. If you never watered it, it would never produce any crop.
And that brings us nicely onto this week’s content.
I’ve found several resources about creating this week. And I’m sharing them with you. Enjoy.
From around the Web
John Cleese on Creativity In Management
Browse more videos from the famous John Cleese training company: www.videoarts.com In this lecture-style presentation, John Cleese claims that creativity is …
“Perhaps the single most vital discipline for me as a writer is to ask myself, paragraph after paragraph and page after page: What might this look like to someone who does not see the world as I do?”…
The Creative Process: For a More Creative Brain, Follow These 5 Steps
I like James Clear. This is his research on the creative process. It’s worth digesting.
Drawing with the iPad - Drawing Inspiration
Mike Hendley makes beautiful sketches on Micro.Blog and has a pretty great podcast on drawing too. I certainly picked up some ideas I’ve used in my sketchnoting.
There is art left to be made in this world - Austin Kleon
Thinking about Anthony Bourdain and curiosity.
Things I made
Micro blog needs a guinea pig logo eh… @macgenie @manton
A special edition next week...
I’ve had an idea for next week’s edition. There’s going to be a specific theme for the content.
In some ways this edition was a test of that idea as they all centered around creativity.
I’d love your feedback before next week though. My theory is that I’m sharing too many links and so people aren’t clicking them (I’m sorry for snooping on you with analytics…but I look to see if people are reading the links). So I’d like to know.
Would you like fewer links? (Perhaps 6 in total).
Hit reply, let me know and see you next week.
Chris.
