KEEP GOING — 10 WAYS TO STAY CREATIVE IN GOOD TIMES AND BAD — Book By AUSTIN KLEON: Book Summary and Book Recommendation
AUSTIN KLEON is the author of the books, SHOW YOUR WORK, KEEP GOING and STEAL LIKE an ARTIST.
STEAL LIKE an ARTIST is loved by millions of readers and has become a bestseller.
I really like AUSTIN KLEON’s creative way of writing and explaining a point. You will enjoy reading his books.
In the book, KEEP GOING, AUSTINE KLEON says “if you want to read a book about something, if such a book exists on the planet then get it and read it, if it does not exist then write the one”. He wrote this book because he wanted to read this.
This is a must-read book for people doing creative work. For people doing non-creative work, this book can give enough motivation for your bad days and even on good days. This book will provide a way to keep you going when it is a tough time, and there are so many obstacles on your way.
So let’s begin with the Book Summary of the book KEEP GOING.
EVERY DAY IS GROUNDHOG DAY
Austin says, go day by day, since nothing is in our control, but the TODAY is the day that we have. He also says to establish a routine, since it will help you when you have less time and also help you when you have all the time and don’t let you waste it.
He says, making a list is such an important thing since then you will not waste your time thinking about what to do when you have less time or have a lot of time.
Every day is different, you may or may not get your success today, but start tomorrow with a clean slate. You never know that today’s failure might have some purpose in future.
BUILD A BLISS STATION
In this book, Austin Kleon says, you have to disconnect from the world for some time to get connected to yourself and your work. He says big NO to waking up to the news since it will create anxiety only.
He also says while you work put your phone on Airplane mode so you can connect better way with your work.
Saying NO to others is also not selfish if they are interfering in your work routine.
FORGET THE NOUN AND DO THE VERB
This may sound silly but very important. Because sometimes even without doing things we want a title. When we get the title for the task then we are yet to do then we never able to do it. Do things first then let others give the title according to the work you have done.
He also says your work should be your play, like kids. While kids play they are totally into the process and enjoying it. Kids do not attach themselves to the result of the process. So they are happy and work becomes play for them.
