Why you need to be organised to be creative - From Wishful Thinking
Personal Development December 10th, 2007Just been reading through an e-book “Time Mgmt for Creative People” By Mark McGuiness - Wishful Thinking
It is based on the premise that you must
“Be regular and orderly in your life so that you may be violent and original in your work.â€
Gustave Flaubert
The E- Book covers how to:
- Prioritise work that is important not urgent
- Ring fence your most creative time (mine is the night or while jogging in the fresh air)
-Avoid the ‘Sisyphus effect’ ( result of endless to-do lists, which in turn are created by a constant stream of incoming demands.. ) of endless to-do lists. A quote - “We start the day full of enthusiasm, but by the end of it, we’ve
taken on so many new commitments that the to-do list is longer than when we started.”
-Get things done by putting them off till tomorrow (yes!)
-Get things off your mind
-Review your commitments
And provides some resources to help you get things done.
