This edition is for you when your work asks for ideas: writing, design, strategy, teaching, making, or any task where something new must come into being. Navigate Creative Blocks & Flow is for professionals and hobbyists alike, whenever creative work stalls or begins to flow.
It helps you move through blocks with patience and play, start before you feel ready, take feedback without losing your nerve, and find a voice that is your own. It also helps you rest and refill when the well runs low.
Inside is a personalised card deck and an ebook, both carrying your own name on every page. The sections follow real creative challenges: Creative Block, Starting New Project, Creative Criticism, Perfectionism, Finding Your Voice, and a section on rest and refilling the well, with themes such as Start-Messy, separating self from work, and progress over perfect. Each card shows a theme, an image and a short description on the front, and on the back a curated set of quotes from six wisdom traditions with room for your own handwritten notes. The ebook holds the same wisdom as a flowing book you can read on a tablet or phone, or print and bind.
On WorkSmart4Life you find it on the library shelf under "Life Wisdom: the moments of a working life". Begin with the one challenge in front of you: if perfectionism is holding a project back, print only the Perfectionism cards and work with them for a while.
