EPISODE NOTES

Can we use the book as a net to capture our fleeting thoughts? The School of Life's pop self-help book "How to think More Effectively" brings Vladimir Nabokov's and Marcel Proust's creative processes into focus, but there is more to the story. This episode looks at different sources to find out how these writers used simple tools to arrange their messy thoughts into the tidy rectangles we now have our shelves. Plus: the benefits of a notebook/sketchbook practice.
