Version 1.2 - 20th July 25

What is a Creative Emergency Cheat Sheet? You might think it's for serious emergencies. But fear not! I'm talking about a "Help, I'm having trouble with my creative work" kind of emergency sheet. Well, I have one, and I call it my "Notfallzettel", which is German for "emergency sheet", as you can see in the attached picture below.

Now I've turned my original cheat sheet into a Notion page for everyone to have/copy/share.

Notes on the cheat sheet: Solutions/Help have a link to a sub page for more information and context. They are duplicated for some problems, but if you want to see a list of all sub pages, go way down.

Move your mouse to the right for the table of contents → → →

Warning: This is my emergency cheat sheet on how I do things. To get anything out of it, you need to change it to something that will help you. Everyone needs individual solutions to different problems for their creative work.
