Last Chance at Pizzamas Dot Com: https://pizzamas.com/ The Everything We Have Too Much Of Bundle: https://pizzamas.com/products/everything-we-have-too-much-of-bundle Productivity when applied to individual creativity, I think, is exactly backward. I think we all should want to make stuff...but the hard part isn't doing it as efficiently as possible...you can do whatever you want once you're making stuff...the hard part is figuring out how to get yourself making.
