Why Productivity Systems Don’t Work for Creative People—and What Does (with Steve Kamb)

​Most productivity advice assumes consistency, discipline, and getting it right the first time.

​Creative work doesn’t work that way.

​On this live Q&A, I’ll be joined by Steve Kamb, author of How to Try Again and founder of Nerd Fitness, to discuss a more realistic approach to habits, productivity, and making progress on creative work.

​We’ll get into:

• ​Why traditional productivity systems break down for writers and creators

• ​How to build habits that survive missed days and real-life chaos

• ​The role of failure, quitting, and restarting in long-term progress

• ​How to stay consistent without burning out

• ​What it actually means to “try again” in practice

​If you’ve ever struggled to stick to a writing routine, finish a book project, or maintain creative momentum, this will give you a more forgiving—and more effective—way forward.
