What I learned from two of my favorite books on doing creative work, The War of Art and Turning Pro, both by Steven Pressfield.

Get Two Months Free of Readwise
Readwise is my favorite reading tool. I use it to automatically extract my highlights from physical books, and I use their Reader to read and highlight everything I find online.
Then they automatically organize all of my notes and send them directly to my note-taking tool, so I can immediately look up anything I loved in past books I read.
It’s a total game changer for getting the most out of every book you read, and if you love books, you need to be using it.
