I'm Emily P. Freeman and welcome to the next right thing.

You're listening to episode 174.

This is a podcast about making decisions but also about making a life.

If you struggle with decision fatigue, chronic hesitation, or if you just need a few minutes,

away from the constant stream of information and is sometimes delightful, but also distracting

hum of entertainment, you're in the right place for a thoughtful story, a little prayer,

and a simple next right step.

But first, a word from this episode's sponsor, Skillshare, Spring is here and everything

feels a bit new, doesn't it?

Sometimes when things feel new, it can be hard to decide where to start.

Thankfully, Skillshare has a catalog of thousands of classes that can help you stretch your creativity

and practice the skills you need to sustain it.

One such class is Productivity for Creatives by Thomas Frank, an entrepreneur and author

who makes a living creating content on YouTube.

In this class, Thomas teaches all about the relationship between productivity and creativity

and how our regular everyday tasks can help us be more consistent in our creative work.

He even talks about how to think about inspiration as if it's a muscle that requires regular activity

to grow.

I love that.

Skillshare makes working towards a creative goal achievable with short lessons and hands-on

projects, and it's affordable too, with annual subscriptions available for less than $10

a month.
