A Fine Advertising Mind In Denmark

https://ibantoni.com/ib-antoni/ Ib Antoni was a highly productive artist, and we are so lucky to have a rare amount of archive material available - much of which has never been shown before: Meticulous sketches from old school books, work correspondences across the Atlantic with the comments of Victor Borge in the margen of Antoni's sketches, letters of thanks from the Royal Family – and a lot more. With a subtle grip Antoni caught the essence of an assignment and neatly wrapped in the message, in a way that to this day feels timeless and modern - and continuously inspire advertising designers all over the world. The demand for the Antoni stroke came from all over the world, and he only had customers such as Shell, Unicef, Volvo, Life Magazine and Neiman-Marcus. I Denmark he was called the ”national illustrator of Denmark”, because his posters with The Little Mermaid, Tivoli and Copenhagen were - and still are - a part of creating the narrative and of the native ...

Inspiration from James Clear

  3 Ideas From Me I. "The myth is that there isn't enough time. There is plenty of time. There isn't enough focus with the time you have. You win by directing your attention toward better things." ​II. "The difference between how I feel before my first set in the gym and how I feel after my first set is enormous. You don't even need a full workout (or work session, etc.) to feel good again. You are 5 minutes away from putting your day on a completely different trajectory." III. "The person who focuses on one task and sees it through to completion—even if they work in a somewhat slow or outdated manner—beats the endless optimizer who jumps from tool to tool and always hopes a new piece of technology will help them finish what they start." ​ ​ 2 Quotes From Others I. Author Jeanette Winterson on seizing the day: "It's hard to remember that this day will never come again. That the time is now and the place is...

Carpe Diem

Inside the Last-Minute Mindset: “Why Do I Only Feel Motivated When a Deadline Is Looming?”

  Inside the Last-Minute Mindset: “Why Do I Only Feel Motivated When a Deadline Is Looming?” (getpocket.com) Whenever I want to send myself into the throes of an existential crisis, I start to think about how much time I waste each year not doing the tasks on my   to-do list . If I added it up, how many hours, days or possibly even weeks do I spend   procrastinating , putting things off and thinking about all of my looming responsibilities without ever springing into action? And what, in some perfect parallel universe, could the dedicated, focused version of me have achieved with all that time?   Trained for a marathon ? Finally finished   Middlemarch ? Written a   Middlemarch -sized novel of my own?  My last-minute mindset is something I’m well aware of, and yet whenever I’m presented with a deadline, I follow the same pattern: put the work off for as long as humanly possible, then cram it all into a condensed, chaotic period of ’ productivity ’, whic...

4 Ways Busy People Sabotage Themselves

And yet instead of actually doing it, you do a hundred other tasks instead. Or you’ve been feeling guilty about not replying to an email, even though replying would only take 10 minutes. Or maybe the last time you needed stamps, you went to the post office to buy a single stamp because you couldn’t find the 100-pack you purchased a few months ago. You know it’s around… somewhere. But you just don’t have the time to clean your desk to find it. These self-sabotaging patterns maintain a cycle of always having too much to do (or at least  feeling like that’s the case ). If you’re chronically tapped out of the immense amount of mental energy required for planning, decision making, and coping, it’s easy to get lured into these traps.  Let’s unpack the problems in more detail and discuss solutions. 1. You keep ploughing away without ste...
