Kleon has lots of practical advice for how to unleash your creativity and make use of the materials you are immersing yourself in. E-readers are useful when you don?t want to lug books around in your backpack but the feeling is not the same as holding a book, savouring the words and ideas, letting them fizz around your brain and having the opportunity to go back and re-read a passage which jumped out at you. You can?t touch or smell what you?ve written – or what someone else has. But over time, particularly since I left newspapers and lost the tactile feeling of newsprint, I?ve started to feel that I?m missing something. I?ve written on computer for nearly 30 years now.

If you?ve ever felt that you can?t write or paint or create something, whether it?s starting a business or a hobby, because you don?t think you?re original enough, or that you?re lacking ideas, you need to read this book. I have set myself a new goal to read more regularly, by which I mean, setting aside time every week and blogging about what I?ve read on here.Īt the point when I was coming to this realisation, I picked up Steal Like An Artist by Austin Kleon. These days, however, although I buy books, I very rarely pick one up and read it. Until recently I read them in my spare time. I read all the time but I don?t make time to read books. I took some time and started noting down what I wanted to achieve under each area and the one thing which came up under all of them was: read more books. The Wheel Of Life breaks down into the different aspects of your life, all the things you care about and which collectively, make you, you: As followers of this blog will know, I?ve been attempting to improve my ability to create – and stick to – goals this year. I recently came across Zig Ziglar?s Wheel Of Life. There?s been a nagging feeling at the back of my mind. ”If any one area is out of sync, all the areas of your life suffer.How often do you listen to your intuition? Mine?s been telling me something?s missing for a while now. “Yes, success is directly related to having a balanced life.” … why your eyes are red and your blood pressure is going through the roof … and why you just don’t find any joy in living.” Success is Directly Related to a Balanced Life
