The only noble type of productivity is artistic productivity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The problem in modern thinking is this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We only are productive to produce more things, in order to produce more money. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Since the times of Benjamin Franklin, the philosophy has been:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your duty on earth is to accumulate as much money and capital and possible in order to pass it onto your children. And it is a vice to spend your money. To accumulate and hoard more wealth is the virtuous task and goal. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

However to me, I consider this line of thinking quite repulsive. To me, true productivity<\/em> is artistic productivity. To create as many great art works while you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re still alive seems to be a more robust goal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Produce more art works <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whatever you consider your artwork, produce more of that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To produce much artistic fruit is the goal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Watch cinema and films which inspire you and your composition. Kill Bill 1<\/a> and 2 are both excellent, as well as John Wick 1 and 2. <\/li>
  2. Go to the gym and do deadlifts<\/a>, and if possible, use the sauna. This gets my creative muscles and juices flowing!<\/li>
  3. Sleep a lot. Sleep and wake up without an alarm clock. Our biological body thrives on sleep, and sleep is ESSENTIAL to recuperation in order to become stronger. <\/li>
  4. Creating artwork takes much muscle, strength, and physical energy. If you want to become a more productive artist, strengthen your physical muscles. <\/li>
  5. Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t force yourself to create. Only create when you want to, in a spirit of play and fun!<\/li>
  6. For more energy, don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t consume sugar, starch, and carbohydrates. Only meat, eggs, fish, and bitter herbs. <\/li>
  7. Create more artwork with your phone, laptop, or tablet. I love using Procreate on iPad<\/a> to make traces<\/a> or illustrations, use GarageBand on MacBook laptop<\/a> to make beats, or use phone<\/a> to make photos. <\/li>
  8. For inspiration or motivation, watch rap music videos on YouTube. I like the new \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Stormzy Vossi Bop\u00e2\u20ac\u009d music video, and most anything by Kendrick Lamar, Jay Z, Kanye, or Tyga. <\/li>
  9. Drink more black coffee, 100% cocoa (no sugar), and water. <\/li>
  10. Walk more for more creative thoughts!<\/li>
  11. Listen to music which pumps you up. I personally get inspired a ton from freestyle rap videos on YouTube. <\/li>
  12. Create any form of art\u00e2\u20ac\u201d no genres, definitions, or borders!<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Make on!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
