Manage Your Day-To-Day... is a collection of essays about building practices toward your best creative work. At less than $5, this short book is worth the price for anyone who struggles with continuing steadily on in their creative work.
I intend to return to various essays in the future as reminders (nearly every chapter challenged an area I regularly lose track of), particularly the one on Perfectionism by Elizabeth Grace Saunders and the one in the Coda by Steven Pressfield. For me, these two were worth the price of the book.
4.5 stars

A book on routines with small articles written by many popular writers in this space.
The collection of articles from experts works quite well for the topics
Routine
Focus
Channeling your creativity
It's beneficial to hear from different people with different perspectives and methods.
That said a collection of articles isn't as good as one individual focusing on the topic.
Some interesting articles and some average articles

Some good stuff in here, but I find it increasingly harder and harder to not look beyond the privilege many authors - especially male authors - have.
I'm not interested in starting a debate, but I keep seeing authors saying things like: schedule in your writing time, lock the door, do not break from this schedule. And I'm a mother and I'm 95% in charge of running the household and being able to do that kind of set-in-stone scheduling just doesn't happen.
And yes, this is likely just my own issue. But reviews are subjective, and I take a star away for not seeing this represented in this book.

Some good ideas, most of them not new to 99U readers. It's a good text for dipping into when you need a reset for your work/life/creative life balance.
