Mmmm... Strategy, learning, toughness and flow.

Things to make you go Mmmm…

"To encourage creativity by sharing more inspiration than any electronic artist.”


Three thoughts for your creativity and one on mine.


3 for you:

Start thinking strategically.

“Strategy is often an unseen option, apparently too sophisticated, expensive, or elitist for most of us. But once we see it, our next steps become clear. We have what we need to make better plans.” - Seth Godin


The art of learning.

“I believe an appreciation for simplicity, the everyday—the ability to dive deeply into the banal and discover life’s hidden richness—is where success, let alone happiness, emerges.” - Josh Waitzkin


When the going gets tough.

"Mental toughness is often framed as the perseverance that gets you across the finish line:

  • Find a way to make it happen

  • Push through the pain

  • Grind it out to the end

But most days, mental toughness isn't about crossing the finish line. It's about getting to the starting line:

  • Show up when no one is watching

  • Keep your eye on the ball

  • Do a little bit every day

Mental toughness is not skipping the days that are easy to skip." - James Clear


1 from me

Finding Flow.

“Flow isn’t forced - it’s invited.

Eliminate distractions. Start before you feel ready. Lose the pressure to be perfect.

Then ride the wave when it comes.

Because when you’re deep in it, time disappears - and the work makes itself.”


Until next week
