Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

When life gets distracting, protect your creative process by taking breaks when emotionally overwhelmed, working in short, focused bursts, and collaborating with others for fresh perspectives. Say no to draining projects and use templates when your brain feels fried to maintain productivity without burnout. Handle non-creative tasks like legal matters early so they don't interfere with your creative flow later.
