authorAustin KleonFor example, Radiohead lead singer Tom Yorke, what is his biggest advantage, he replied: "I just don't know what I'm doing. 」

The above subverted many of Gilly's stereotypical ideas. People who always think that they can show themselves are experts in a certain field; or people who are lively and outgoing, have excellent appearance, and can sing and dance well.

Compared with the two previous sites, if you evaluate whether you know what you are doing or not, the first time you set up the site, you feel very clear about what you are doing. After the website took a month to set up, I quickly knew what subject I was going to write about and how to plan it, but in the end it probably took about a month.After doing five content and character interviews in three months, I found that the theme and method of making content did not seem to be so suitable for me. Even if I had ideas, I gradually lost my enthusiasm for continuing to create.

In these three months, I have learned that if I am not loyal to my work, I will end up with the creation.graduallyGo farther and farther until you give up.

On the contrary, after a year of precipitation, he began to set up the station for the second time. In the process, he often thought: "What the hell am I doing?" "Put your ideas on the Internet?" Be sure! "I thought that after self-doubt like this, I would start to give up in the chaos. But this kind of unknown state of where to go, unexpectedly always bursts out a lot of ideas, allowing me to continue to enrich the content of this station.

Creative display, not just looking at the results: the creative mind of a digital nomad

"Many people are used to only looking at the results of their work, and they can't see the other side of the work you go through to produce results. "--The King of Pop Music in the United States/Michael Jackson (Michael Jackson)

Gilly likes to watch biographies or documentaries of celebrities, or the stories of people who have overcome innate obstacles and live at the bottom but are serious about living their lives. The kind of sense of journey that can understand the hard work of others, and their firm hot-blooded spirit, will resonate with me.

Because behind the fame of those gods created by the media, they are all mortals like you and me.
He used to be a young man who started a business in the garage, and he would never know that one day their works would completely change the human world. TheyWhat I enjoy is the process, overcoming the obstacles of the moment, and challenging the breakthrough of the self.。

A little bit every day, creative accumulation achieves big changes: the tiny pace of digital nomadic life

"Live a good day at a time. It sounds simple, but it's actually very simple, but it's not easy to do: it needs to be extremely strict, rigorous and orderly. "--British comedian/Russell Brand (Russell Brand)

Gilly admires creators who can fix and produce high-quality content. "A little bit" sounds simple, but it's really not easy to practice. For readers, it is "a little bit" or "a minute", but it may be the essence of the creator who spends a lot of time reading, finding information, observing, correcting repeatedly, and making filters.

Digital Nomad's ”Pickled Kimchi" Quiz: Give yourself some time to mature your Creativity

In order to read"So what? "quizChapter, Jili re-read from the original version of "Show your work" to the Chinese translation"The idea is about to be shown", Try to find out the original meaning of the author from different translations. Realized that the author hopes to encourage everyoneDon't think too much when creating, but there is a limit to sharing。

Does it sound a bit contradictory?

But the author wants to further remind the creator，The online world is open after allOf, maybe sharingCreation on the InternetBefore, it was possible toPut the idea of "pickled kimchi" for a day, Or maybe you can have a different idea.

When shopping, seeing something you like arouses a strong desire to shop, but rationally ask yourself: "Is it really necessary?" "If you go back and put your shopping desire aside for a day or two, you may have a different idea than at the time.

ActuallyThis test is not only used in creation, but can also be extended to life.。 In our emotional moments, we also need to assist some rationality.

Museum of the Soul: A Treasure Trove of Creativity in Digital Nomadic Life

I really like the author's mention in the book"Museum of the Soul"The concept. To embark on a digital nomadic life, we all need to build a spiritual museum for ourselves.Everything that can enter our minds is far more valuable than the items stuffed in the suitcase。 The experience of changing the living environment made Gilly realize in the process of packing her luggage."simplify"It's what really matters, and how to quickly respond to life changes.

The places we have walked, the people we have spoken to, and the various experiences we encounter will gradually shape our ideas about life and the world, and become the taste of the creative process.

"If you spend a period of time with someone and find yourself tired and empty, that person is a vampire; if you are still full of energy after a period of time with someone, that person is not a vampire.

It is not only applicable to people, but can also be applied to many things in life, such as work, hobbies, places, and so on. "--"Ideas are About to Show Off", author Austin Kleon

We should all wantLearn to say "no" bravely and firmly to the people, things, and things that consume your energy.。 It may be bad eating habits, work without a sense of accomplishment, a relationship full of exhaustion, or an obsession that can't get by.

But sometimes, it's not so easy to end. But we mustGradual practice disconnects the sense of dependence on habit development, Just like a bird learning to fly, it falls and takes off again and again, and one day it will be able to spread its wings and leave.

Stopping is not the end: the Creative Cycle and Growth of Digital Nomads

The author mentioned in the bookDifferent ways to leave。 Perhaps it's just commuting, exercising, and exploring nature in daily life.Recharge your mind after leaving home for a short time by changing the environment。 Or maybe it isCareer or career progress and transformation, after a period of time, look back and start over。

Jili recalled discussing programming technology with her colleagues. The colleague said, "After working for a while, I will look back at the basics of these programming technologies. In fact, there will be some different new ideas. And each stage will have a different understanding. 」

Since Gili started content creation, she has also deeply realized，In the past, whether it was the skills or interests at work, the books I have read, the knowledge I have learned, the roads I have traveled, or the people I have met, they all formed the impetus and inspiration for my current creation bit by bit invisibly.。

I thought those interests that had stopped, but at this moment, they have become the soul that nourishes my creation. Leaving is not the end, the next turn, meeting, is the beginning of another journey.
