Free E-book: Time Management for Creative People

12:50 am creativity

‘Time Management for Creative People’ by Mark McGuinness, is a useful little e-book with the subtitle ‘manage the mundane — create the extraordinary’. It appealed to me for several reasons. First, it doesn’t treat creative work as though it is divinely inspired — it’s getting your butt in a chair and working. Secondly, the book doesn’t present the reader with list of vague nonsense like ‘maximize your energy’ or ‘eliminate negative feelings’. Instead, it give some simple, instantly implementable ideas to help manage your work and create more. Lastly, the author generously credits the sources for his ideas and directs you where to go for more information.

It’s a worthwhile document to look through. I picked up a few tips and added more books to my reading list.

    Thanks for the write-up. Re getting your butt in the chair - Kingsley Amis said ‘the art of writing is the art of applying the seat of the pants to the seat of the chair’. Of course, it would be nice to be divinely inspired as well…
