10 things nobody told you about being creative

Author: Austin Kleon

• All advice is autobiographical
  • When people give you advice, they're really just talking to themselves in the past.

1. Steal like an artist.

2. Don't wait until you know who you are to get started.

3. Write the book you want to read.

4. Use your hands.

5. Side projects and hobbies are important.

6. The secret: do good work & share it with people.

7. Geography is no longer our master.

8. Be nice. (The world is a small town.)

9. Be boring. (It's the only way to get work done.)

10. Creativity is subtraction.
