A fun and snappy listen while working and making various things. I have another one of his audiobooks to listen to, hopefully there will be some good takeaways there.

A cute book with supplementary exercises and lots of advice. Summary: "just do the work" - hard to see when you are in a rut/struggle with a creative block or a burnout but I guess true regardless. The anxiety is gripping but the longer you put it away, the worse it gets. Just try to go through it, one tiny step at a time.

"I have tried every conceivable way to conquer work-block—that fear of working, which is a fear of failure. There's only one method that works: Just work. And keep working.

- A reminder to do the work.
- If your work lasts, the interpretation will change over time and so there is no way “perfection” to be obtained.
- Make art for now and put yourself out there, even though it is scary. Everyone is afraid. What is more frightening, never living the life you want or having the life you want and enduring the hard work and trials that will come with it?
- Your imperfections, quirks, and perceived weaknesses are all part of your voice and can be highlighted rather than hidden and smoothed away in an effort to make your work look like something more standard.
