Quartet #11: A Beginner's Guide to TikTok, Six Words to Overcome Perfectionism and More!
Sometimes the universe delivers important messages in tiny packages.
I absolutely love the six words on two Post-Its link below.
And without further ado, here are this week's ideas...
Quartet of the Week
1. How To Use TikTok: The Ultimate Beginner's Guide I have intentionally not made the plunge into TikTok yet because I know how much time I would spend on it. But there is no denying how many eyeballs are on that platform and I don't think it's going anywhere anytime soon.
This is a great step-by-step guide to getting started on the platform which I am bookmarking for a rainy day.
2. The Power of Bookending Your Day with Routines
I found this conversation with author Sarah Wilson quite interesting. She talks about routines, reframing a rut as going to your edge and the power of adding the word AND.
This got me thinking so I'm passing it along.
If you are ever paralyzed by perfectionism (which almost always masks itself as something more palatable!) you should read these two Post-Its. Love it!
4. A Tab Management Tool with Lots of Funcationality I recently shared OneTab with you and thought I would also pass this one along as well. I am constantly battling having too many tabs open on my computer and this not only helps to manage that but also allows you to drag and drop bookmarks into collections.
I just stumbled onto this tool but it seems so powerful that I am sharing it right away. Here's to not getting overwhelmed by too many tabs!
This Week's TEM Episode
In TEM280 I discuss embracing change and cultivating a growth mindset. As I get into in the episode, I am undergoing a lot of change in my life right now and I'm just trying to lean in!
My Final Thought of the Week
Here's a quote to send you on your way:
"I don't know where I'm going from here, but I promise it won't be boring."
—David Bowie
All of the musicians I've worked with who really, truly have something to say have led interesting lives.
And all of the ones I've worked with who are good at operating their instrument but make art music that no one will be talking about in 20 years have not.
Don't be boring. Take some risks. It will make your art better.
Cheers, Andrew
