On Thinking, Creating, and Working Deeply:
An author by the name of Cal Newport recently came out with a popular book entitled, Deep Work: Rules For Focused Success in a Distracted World, which outlined in great detail the concept of deep work, how it is utilized even by famous thinkers at different points in history to organize their thoughts and further their careers in knowledge, and ways to apply this to one's lifestyle to better enhance productivity. As someone who has listened to the audiobook version of Newport's work on several occasions, I found the concept of going deep incredibly fascinating and helpful for my projects and career as a graphic artist, illustrator, and writer.

Lesson Matthew McConaughey taught me. Top Story - October 2021.
I’ve always been a fan of Mr. Matthew McConaughey. ‘Interstellar’, ‘Dallas Buyers Club’ and ‘Mud’ to name a few favourites. When I found out that he’d come out with a book I was skeptical. The thoughts of, Oh please don’t be another celebrity trying to make a quick dash for cash, definitely crossed my mind.
