(Keiran Setiya) Oliver Burkeman’s “Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals” Book “Nothing is more alien to the present age than idleness.” “How can there be play in a time in which nothing has meaning unless it leads to something else.”  – John Gray “Because children grow up, we think a child's purpose is to grow up.

Life's bounty is in its flow, later is too late.”  – Alexander Hudson Steven Pressfield’s “The War of Art: Break Through the Blocks and Win Your Inner Creative Battles” Book Lulu Miller’s “Why Fish Don't Exist: A Story of Loss, Love, and the Hidden Order of Life” Book Jamie Drake’s “Easy Target” New Single __________ CALL TO ADVENTURE What could you do that would be atelic and symbiotic – symbiatelic – for people in your real life; something that you have fun doing that also benefits people around you?  __________ SPONSORS STORYBLOCKS Video is one of my most effective ways to stand out as a creator online these days - and with Storyblocks you can take your videos to the next level - with Affordable Subscriptions, Unlimited Downloads, and 1M+ Royalty Free Assets - you can level up your content at storyblocks.com/CreativePepTalk SHILLINGTON Study graphic design with Shillington for 3 months full-time or 9 months part-time.
