Episode notes
Time Shapes The Maker As Much As The Making
- Time shapes creators; rushing the process can undermine formation.
- Skipping formative time risks producing more work without the depth that time yields.
Short Focused Work Produces Great Results
- Many great creatives worked only ~3.5–4 hours daily on their signature work.
- Downtime and limited focused hours were integral to producing high-quality output.
Use Small Daily Targets To Build Output
- Set a daily production target like 1,500 words to build steady output.
- Writing consistently at modest daily rates compounds into large completed projects.
