Awesome, glad it's working for you! I tried that one but preferred Focus @ Will--same concept just different music. I think putting that kind of music or sound in the background really can help with focus for a writing session.

I literally got this book in the mail yesterday! I ordered it after seeing quotes, comments and some video snippets linked…from where I’m not even sure…maybe Austin Kleon…? There’s my early morning creative inspirational reading sorted for the next bit **nods**

Enjoy! I loved it so much. There's also a great interview with him on Ezra Klein's podcast.

As it so happened, this book arrived on my doorstep today, so yay! I actually ordered it a while back after I heard an interview with him on Andrew Huberman's podcast (which I definitely recommend listening to as well) but it took ages to get here! Can't wait to dive in!
