Hemingway productive hack

The best way is always to stop when you are going good and when you know what will happen next. If you do that every day … you will never be stuck. Always stop while you are going good and don’t think about it or worry about it until you start to write the next day. That way your subconscious will work on it all the time. But if you think about it consciously or worry about it you will kill it and your brain will be tired before you start.

Ernest Hemingway

“The question isn’t who is going to let me; it’s who is going to stop me.”


Olja Neutrino Mandić

I already have a hat made of live squirrel. Very warm and comfortable. They put their little stomach on top of my head and holds to my ears with their little hands. Tail goes around the neck. Very fashionable.

Solitude

“I have never found a companion that was so companionable as solitude. We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad among men than when we stay in our chambers. A man thinking or working is always alone, let him be where he will.”

Henry David Thoreau
