Michi Mathias, cartoonist (Momentum System)

By Jessica Abel
Michi Mathias is a cartoonist and graphic novelist who turned her creative life around in the Creative Focus Workshop.

I’m honestly completely gobsmacked to find I can get stuff done!!

Process? Ha! Before the Creative Focus Workshop, I would come up with drafts, but not get much further (unless for paid commissions, in which case they would get done because there was a deadline).

It’s still hard to understand exactly how it all worked, but I knew I really really wanted to get my book done. I realized it was actually possible, and the deadline was set.

These Idea Debt objects just sat on the shelf, for years, collecting dust. Until—I guess it’s just a change of mindset—believing it’s possible. Just deciding. Yes, I will actually do it.
