Art Problems
EP 105: How to Do Fewer Things

And I did this in collaboration with William Pohida, an artist known for charting the art world through his drawings.

Art Problems

So here's how it works.

Art Problems
EP 105: How to Do Fewer Things

We've built a curriculum framework that shows you the right order to build your career.

Art Problems
EP 105: How to Do Fewer Things

So the framework has four stages.

Art Problems

Position, this is where you identify your values, audience, and narrative.

Art Problems

Represent, where you create materials that present you to the world.

Art Problems

Manage.

Art Problems

where you get operationally ready to take opportunities when they come and amplify.

Art Problems

This is where you get the word out.

when those opportunities come in, right?

So the assessment shows you where you are in this progression, which areas you're strong in, which are holding you back, and what specifically to work on next.

Art Problems

And this really comes down to four main benefits that come with the assessment.

Art Problems
EP 105: How to Do Fewer Things

So first of all, it provides a roadmap.

Art Problems
EP 105: How to Do Fewer Things

is not just that it tells you what you're doing well and what's holding you back.

Art Problems
EP 105: How to Do Fewer Things

It gives you a prioritized set of actions based on your scores and framework itself, right?

Art Problems
EP 105: How to Do Fewer Things

So if you don't have your audience and values identified, you shouldn't be working on anything else.

Art Problems

Like none of it is going to work until you know those things.
