1 – Show up. Many work sessions will feel unproductive which can feel frustrating, but the best creatives sit down to work even when they don't feel like it. Consistency rewards creativity.

2 – Generate a ton of ideas. Your best ideas rarely come early. So when you think you've got it, keep going.

3 – Refine the good ones. If you find yourself over-explaining, it's likely too difficult to digest. The best ideas are simple and easy to understand.

4 – Share the best ones. The potential for criticism forces you to pay attention to the details, and naturally encourages you to improve.

Four Steps. Don't Skip Any.

Seek out what magnifies your spirit.

Patti Smith talks about writers and artists who magnified her spirit — it’s a beautiful phrase and a beautiful notion. Who are the people, ideas, and books that magnify your spirit? Find them, hold on to them, and visit them often. Use them not only as a remedy once spiritual malaise has already infected your vitality but as a vaccine administered while you are healthy to protect your radiance.

(Maria Popova)

112 | At times I have heard it said that we don’t dream in color. But surely this is a mistake. Not only can we dream in color, but more importantly: how could anyone else know if we do or do not? At times I have been tempted to think that we dream more colorfully now because of the cinema. (To know what dreams were like before the cinema!)

Excerpt From: Maggie Nelson. “Bluets.”
