On the creative journey, it's easy to get lost, but don't worry, you'll lift off.

Sometimes you just need a creative PEPTuck.

How to embrace creative discipline

if forming habits feels impossible.

That's what we're talking about today

and I'm gonna tell you the massive gear shift

that completely changed how I think about habits as someone who hates

doing the same thing the same way more than anybody. I barely even use words more than once.

My family will tell you that I don't call anything by its actual name. I barely speak in coherent sentences in my every day

because I'm constantly renaming things

because it's just too painful to do the same thing the same way.

However, I'm also someone who's done 500 episodes of this show

and made a bunch of books and been an illustrator for 15

years. And so I've learned something about creative discipline and I want to tell you about this

gear shift. And if you stick around to the end, I'm going to give you something you can do today.

It's called Creating a Road Trip Brief. And it is a way to get creative discipline in your life in a way

that's not painful, but focuses on the fun and why that's so essential. I'll get to that

at the end, so stick around for that. But for now, let's talk about why habits might not work

for you, the way that they work for other people

and the advice you've heard so far might be doing more harm than good when it comes to developing

creative discipline. Design is everywhere in our lives.

Perhaps most importantly in the places where we've just stopped noticing.
