🚀 The Book in 3 2 Sentences

  1. Make a conscious choice that you want to ship work. Show up consistently and trust that great work will follow.
  1. There’s no such thing as writers block. Trust the process

🎨 Impressions

I think this book had some interesting points about the creative process, however I did not enjoy the structure. It’s more like a collection of blog posts rather than a book, so I found it hard to get in a good flow and almost didn’t finish it. The message is very clear; You just have to trust yourself and the process of shipping work.

Who Should Read It?

Anyone that wants to create and ship stuff (and enjoys the bite-sized nature of this book)

☘️ How the Book Changed Me

A good reminder that shipping creative work is a choice. You simply show up consistently and do the work, trusting your process.

✍️ My Top 3 Quotes

  • “We don’t ship the work because we’re creative. We’re creative because we ship the work.”
  • “Good ideas come from bad ideas, but only if there are enough of them.”
  • “Build streaks. Do the work every single day. Blog daily. Write daily. Ship daily. Show up daily. Find your streak and maintain it.”
