Welcome, Problogger Readers!

Thanks for coming to check Productive Flourishing out! There’s a lot here, so I wanted to take a second to show you around.

First, though, subscribe to the blog by RSS or by Email if you like what you see here. You might also want to sign up for the newsletter using the form on the sidebar to your right.

If you’d like to have a coherent view of what goes on here, check out my New Here? page.

If you’d like to put some structure around your creative mojo, jump on over to check out the Free Planners. They’re pretty popular with creative folks, freelancers, and bloggers. That page explains a bit more about what’s going on – I hope they help.

Given that you’re a blogger I think you might find these posts useful:

  • Becoming Yourself And Growing Your Blog
  • Every blogger started from somewhere, but we often forget this when we read them know that they’ve grown into their own voice and style. Read this post to see exactly how some well-known bloggers have grown.

  • Do Epic Shit
  • Rather than do something small and work like hell to build a story around it, do epic shit and let it speak for itself.

  • Demystifying the Creative Process
  • Almost everyone has creative potential. What separates creatives from people who think they’re not creative is that the creatives have a grip on the creative process. It’s not mystical – there are four steps of creativity that we can all walk through to become more creative.

  • The Key to Consistent Creativity and Productivity
  • Want to know the key to consistent creativity and productivity? It’s all about figuring out how long you can stay engaged in a particular task and using that to design your workflow.

  • Stop Shuffling and Start Creating
  • Creative people have a tendency to shuffle from project to project, with the result that a lot of projects are indefinitely half-done. Doing this makes it harder to complete any given project because you’re always losing inertia and trying to build momentum. Rather than continue this trend, focus on pushing projects to done before you build momentum on new projects.

  • Create, Connect, and Consume
  • At the end of the day, creative people need to create, connect, and consume – and making sure you cover these bases doesn’t have to be so damn hard.

I’m glad you came and I hope you find your visit worthwhile. Thanks!
