Sustainably Creative by Michael Nobbs

Little and Often

spending more…


secateurs drawing…time outside which is nice. It can only be a week since it felt like we were in the throes of winter but today was pretty much a perfect spring day. My energy does seem to increase as the spring arrives. I do think I’m better if I nearly hibernate through the winter, but it’s easier to think that once the spring arrives.

It is a dangerous time for me though. The relief at having some more energy does tend to make me want do more than is sensible. Today I began taking shelves down in the studio, pleased to be able to finally make a start at reorganising things in there. I did manage to stop myself – seeing my secateurs I deciding it would be more sensible to sit and draw them.

    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.
