I feel like I could probably answer this 10 different ways; it can vary quite a bit depending on how you frame it
I& #39;m generally bad at sticking to some months-long routine. historically, I tend to work in bursts, that often tend to be like... 2-3 weeks of manic intensity https://twitter.com/rishu_mohanka/status/1317698303035904000">https://twitter.com/rishu_moh...

the real game for me is to maintain a list of my interests, my projects, and to set up those things in such a way that my future self can interface with them well.
so for me it& #39;s not about routine... I have to design my creative pursuits to survive routine failure

I haven& #39;t been particularly interested in math for a while, but if I wanted to "get back into it", all I have to do is look up my past notes and threads about it. I can add to this thread whenever I encounter anything new that& #39;s interesting https://twitter.com/visakanv/status/1153595750284025856">https://twitter.com/visakanv/...
every time you feel a creative impulse or urge, do something about it, write it down, make the thing (or even just a shitty draft of the thing), then index it – connect it to your existing body of work. over time the body of work grows. congratulations, you& #39;re a creative person
do this for a few years, and maybe read a few biographies of creative people, etc, and you start to develop a bird& #39;s eye view of yourself.
y& #39;know, Jung took 16 years to write The Red Book, intermittently, starting at age 38. Maybe your creative life hasn& #39;t even "started" yet

IME, and this seems true for everyone from Jung to Bruce Lee – the important thing if you wanna be a creative professional is to be taking notes. routine? as much as you can. if you wanna be a serious professional you will never regret taking a note https://twitter.com/visakanv/status/1087430231227457536">https://twitter.com/visakanv/...
have there been creative professionals who didn& #39;t take notes? probably! will you be able to? maybe! https://twitter.com/visakanv/status/1226566512783183872">https://twitter.com/visakanv/...
not always immediately. I have a large pool of unsorted and unindexed stuff. I index as soon as I *can*, which sometimes is never https://twitter.com/nosilverv/status/1317769973431963649">https://twitter.com/nosilverv...
at this current stage in my life though I have some very clear projects and very clear things that I want to produce, so it& #39;s very easy to see how some new piece of data or thought fits into an existing project that I& #39;m working on. took me like 10-15 years to develop this clarity
that said I look forward to publishing everything and then diving back into a chaotic state of "idk wtf i& #39;m gonna do, nice"
