Mind Management, Not Time Management: Productivity When Creativity Matters (Getting Art Done Book 2)

Product Information

The book has caused me to match what tasks I need to accomplish with the mental state that Kadavy describes. El Mind Management se refiere justo a eso, a entender los estados mentales por los que pasamos a la hora de crear, y de cómo debemos hacer lo posible para que ese ciclo creativo sea lo más fluido posible.

Thought-provoking for any of us who identify with Kadavy's self-description of constantly finding ways to do more and more things in less and less time.

As I mentioned at poing 1 for the productivity advice I would give 5 stars - despite in some points its more good collection (and connection) which was already said in other forms.But it's a damn good illustration and inspiration that it's you who have to work, through those very ups and downs, mishaps and sudden thunderstorms, to find what works for *you*, personally. Plus, the book pointed out that I need to pay more attention to my mood and what kind of tasks are best for it (and how to change my mood to prepare for needed tasks).
