I can’t listen to music with lyrics or podcasts when I write. But when I’m fully immersed in graphic design land, I get to listen to all kinds of inspirational creatives share their stories and advice.
“There’s no room to be the next Seth Godin because I’m still here for now.” – Seth Godin
If you get my newsletter, you know that I’ve been thinking a lot about social media and how we use it. How it’s at the same time both necessary and distracting from the work we’re here to do. If you want some insight, listen to this Q & A with Seth Godin after his May 2013 CreativeMornings talk in NYC. His suggestion? TURN IT OFF. Stop spending so much time following and reading and tweeting and instagramming and go out and make your own stuff.
Sometimes listening to the words just isn’t enough. I have to take video coffee breaks so I can see what’s happening on the screen. Right now I need you to step away from whatever else you’re doing and focus on the videos that I’m going to share here. Watch the videos, then click over to the original posts I listed and read what these talented ladies had to say.
