This kind of goes hand in hand with the last one. Brian Eno made Oblique Strategies with Peter Schmidt in the 70s. Itâs a deck of cards where each card has a vague phrase or aphorism on it, intended to be used while trying to make a decision creatively. But now itâs online and in an app so I use them any chance I get. Not just in creative situations. Pretty much any decision. I usually draw three.

12-week guided process for reconnecting with your inner child as your driving force for creating art (a lot of the exercises are writing-oriented, but itâs meant to re-invigorate any artistic practice)
fundamentally the artistâs way has two core principles: (1) write a little bit every day - the book says 3 pages first thing in the morning and (2) give yourself some novel experiences as artistic input to be able to generate artistic output
its hard to stay super consistent / complete all 12 weeks in 12 weeks time, but i think it is a really helpful starting place for getting back to a headspace where youâre writing / creating again because it gives you a lot of structure, room to âfailâ, find peace and joy in the process, and just have fun with it in a way weâre not really conditioned to past a certain age :)
