If you are a creative person—a writer, an artist, a scrimshaw-er, whatever—here is a thing you need to do: Listen to Julianna Baggott’s audio series, Efficient Creativity.
(That’s right, I’m going beyond “I recommend…” or “You should really think about…” You need to do this thing and then you can thank me.)
Julianna is a brilliant writer who knows a thing or two about productivity, having written over twenty books while teaching and raising a family. But she didn’t just draw on her own experience to create this series; she studied the creative processes and practices of a ton of working artists to figure out how the rest of us can Get Shit Done.
One more thing about this series: It’s useful and accessible for beginners, but as Julianna notes in the opening week, it might be even more useful for creative workers who have been in the game for a while. (As a mid-career writer who is currently in week two of the program, I can tell you: It is.)
