Keep Going

Daily creative practices to sustain your work through doubt and distraction

Maintaining momentum through burnout, distraction, and the daily grind of making things. This 224-page guide offers practical strategies for sustaining creative work when inspiration feels distant and motivation wavers.

Kleon builds on concepts from his previous books with actionable frameworks. Create a "Bliss Station", dedicated space or time completely disconnected from external demands. Embrace the Groundhog Day mindset: yesterday's finished, tomorrow's uncertain, so focus entirely on today's work. Most importantly, forget the identity ("I'm a painter") and commit to the action (just paint). These aren't abstract philosophies but concrete practices for showing up consistently.

Illustrated throughout and designed in an accessible 6-by-6-inch format, the book reads like conversations with an experienced creative who understands the unglamorous reality of maintaining a practice. Whether you're recovering from burnout, fighting distraction, or simply trying to keep working through ordinary resistance, Kleon provides the encouragement and structure that abstract motivational advice rarely delivers. Keep working, keep playing, keep going, practical wisdom for anyone committed to sustained creative practice.
