I Advice - Be More Creative-How Mapping Tiny Landmarks In Your Creative Journey Can Help You Be More Creative
Most men tend to view shaving as a pain in the face! That type of attitude can lead to careless cuts, riveting razor burn, and infectious ingrown hairs. It just doesn't have to be that way! Take a minute to think about what you are doing when you shave... you are scraping an extremely sharp blade across your skin in an effort to remove the hair growing out! That canNOT be good for you if you are doing it wrong.As anyone who's ever had a profes
By allowing ourselves to record “tiny” landmarks, as well as major ones, we can see how we gradually and steadily build on our efforts, step by step, day by day.
Here are some example of some Tiny Landmarks you might record:
- 1st finished poem

If you were to spend some of your valuable time searching the Internet you would find ezines for virtually every conceivable interest. Individuals who have explored the world on online marketing have come to see ezines as a productive tool in client connectivity.One of the primary reasons ezines are viewed with enthusiasm is that the subscriber base are opt-in members. In other words, the people you send the ezine to have asked you to send the
When it comes to watching other creative people, we actually find it quite easy to keep track of what they’re doing, and how much they’re progressing.
We can remember that only 6 months ago, our friend Catherine had never even heard Salsa music. Now she’s out every Friday night living it up in the Salsa clubs, and wowing the crowds with her natural style and smooth moves.
We can recall how our Design colleague Ben was at an all time low creatively just a few weeks ago, and now after a personal creative breakthrough, is producing some of the freshest most exciting designs since his days at design school 10 years ago.
So why DO we find it so hard to recognise - and more crucially to VALUE – our own creative progress?
The obvious reason is that we have less objectivity.
Because we’re with ourselves 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, it’s more difficult to stand back and get that perspective we get when we’re away from other people for periods of time.
Another reason is we tend to be less kind with ourselves about our achievements.
When we do create something amazing, we brush it off with casual comments like: “Yeh it’s pretty good I suppose, but anyone could’ve done it, it’s nothing special.”
So how CAN we get better at recognising our progress, giving ourselves more encouragement and being more creative?
A great technique to use is to have a Tiny Landmarks chart.
This is a chart that can be as simple as a sheet of A3 paper pinned up on our wall, where we note our “Tiny Landmarks” – the small but significant achievements in our creative lives, and the day we achieve them.
But calling it Tiny Landmarks, doesn’t that belittle our achievements, you might ask?
No, quite the opposite. As we talked about before, often we dismiss our creative achievements as not being important or significant. So we get in the habit of not acknowledging ANY of them, even though we're striding forward.

In the United Kingdom, the credit card phenomenon is not at all different from what the United States or any other country has for that matter. This just goes to show that a lot of people are finding credit cards as feasible means as well.However, most people in UK would rather obtain the best credit card there is than to suffer at a later stage. And so, getting the best UK credit card is very significant for most English people. In most insta

A few weeks ago in my weekly relationship tip, I asked my subscribers to consider some self development relationship questions. I received a number of responses – people asking me my opinion of the necessary traits of successful relationships. So here they are and in no particular order of importance.- The ability to get past the infatuation stage quickly.- Realistically managing your expectations of your partner.- Continuing
