Become remarkable!
I love the Internet. I love the way serendipity often seems to hand me just what I need on the web (well, okay I’m probably looking in sort of the right places but even so it does sometimes feel like magic). I’m currently putting together a workshop on how creative types can learn to be more »
Jack of all trades (or at least some relevant ones)
This post was written by Jack of (some) trades, Michael Nobbs. Follow him on Twitter. I love receiving Seth Godin’s daily updates in my inbox, and usually find myself in agreement with his “pull the rug out from under conventional thought” approach, but today I’m not so in tune with him. Today, Seth argues that more »

Back to Analogue series
During my recent break from all things digital, I’ve found myself drawn to many things analogue, things that featured in my life a lot in my youth. I remember very fondly my first typewriter, trying to learn to touch-type, and the regular cursing as I hit the wrong key or realised I’d misspelled something and more »
I need more lists in my life…
I’ve decided that I need a to-do list. Something very specific, and not too long. After two weeks out of my studio getting back has felt overwhelming, indeed today after an early start that just saw me going round and round in circles I retreated to bed to recharge my batteries. Waking up, and after more »
My analogue holiday
I’m back in the digital world after a two week break. I can’t pretend my life has been completely digital-free, but I have enjoyed my break.

I'm Michael Nobbs, an artist, blogger and tea drinker (not necessarily in that order).
I'd like to show you that it is possible to stay creative even when energy is in short supply, and how working on small creative acts on a regular basis can build over time into a substantial body of work (and even a creative career).
I've written a book called Sustainable Creativity. You're welcome to pay whatever you would like for it.

My new book, Getting Your Important Work Done, is currently free for members to download.
