Artists: Be your own best assistant. Do your research. Get your tools and materials in order. These will be the ancestors, spirit guides and self-replicating imagination of your work. This will allow art to reproduce itself in you. You’ll thank yourself during & afterwards.

What made the hours pass like minutes when you were a child? Herein lies the key to your earthly pursuits.” — Carl Jung
"I frequently worry that being productive is the surest way to lull ourselves into a trance of passivity and busyness the greatest distraction from living, as we coast through our lives day after day, showing up for our obligations but being absent from our selves, mistaking the doing for the being." — Maria Popova
It bears repeating: Being productive is not a path to fulfilment. Your productivity is not your self-worth. You can live a great life with zero ‘productive’ output. Do work that gives you an intrinsic sense of satisfaction, not as a stepping stone to happiness.
