Every day I spend a few minutes in my sketchbook, unrelated to any work I might be doing. It’s like a creative workout, or play date.

The drawing I made in my sketchbook today was not very good.

But it was useful because it gave me an idea of how to make tomorrow’s sketch better.

“The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way. The obstacle is the way. - Marcus Aurelius
