As I’m sure you’ve figured out if you’ve been reading much of this blog or my other writings, I’m always interested in productivity tools, especially ones geared for creatives. A couple of days ago a new Free Manuals in Your Email lister, Kristopher Grunert, pointed me to a new source: Behance. These folks obviously share a similar mindset with me and, even better, they have cool products to help. The dot grid book alone is enough to excite the geeky creative in all of us.
Speaking of productivity, here’s a good hint to improve yours: take a day off every month. Make it a mini-creative retreat–go to a museum, watch a bunch of art films, take a creative class, do something to stimulate your creative brain that you normally wouldn’t do. One day a month. To do this the best you can, turn off the cell and don’t even look at your computer. Get out of your usual work space. This is a chance to re-energize the creative batteries.
