When my kids learned to ride bikes, there was a ... lot of screaming, mostly at me. They were not ready. Now we bike to school every day. Ready is now second nature.

Ready is the RESULT of action.

In my newsletter, I unpack ideas like this every week. Link in profile.

A creative community is more than friends. It's people you trust because they GET you. I can't say enough how much this makes a difference when you're in your creative cave. That's why we do a training in our community on upleveling those good conversations.

Boston born and raised. That would be a grinder. I have no idea why.

Also I don’t care what anyone calls it as long as it’s not a “sammie.”

Do you struggle to start? Get to the end of your day and find that burst of energy you wish you had earlier? What helps my clients is thinking even smaller. The first step is often smaller than you think.

Habits aren't forever. This makes sense, I don't work out the same way I did when I was 20. So why is it so hard to shift gears? Today we talk about how and how often to step back, take stock, and make small shifts. MUCH easier than waiting till the gears fall apart.

In our FINAL short episode, ...

Leaders can get lost in the act of service. Serving your teams and your families and, and, and... it makes it all too easy to lose sight of YOU. That lonely in a crowded room feeling.

@tamsinastor.bsky.social and I are sharing these ahead of our workshop next week where you will be able to play with these tools in real time, get feedback, and have the experience I had above. If you've been going it alone, get off the hamster wheel and join us.

So, I use motion for task management. Out of the box it's pretty great... but I wasn't using it. Then I had one of my team members show me how to make it work with how _I_ work. And it's suddenly more useful than ever.

Do you have a tool that's supposed to make things easier, but seems to be just another task to manage?

Part 2 of our 4 part mini-podcast for creatives and leaders is now out!

In this EP we talk about how to make your tools the right tool for you.

Having a creatively "blah" day? Use this quiz to get something to try _right now_.

I made a quiz to help you identify what fuels you—and what might be slowing you down.

Obstacle: "I can't, I have to.... X"
Solution: Ask yourself "How could I start my day with presence, even for 5 minutes?"

Just a reminder, start your morning with something that feels good.
Science: Get that dopamine early; it will set the tone for your day.
Behavior: Um... don't be a cranky person, give yourself some joy first thing.
Suggestion: (don't open your phone until after!)

So we created a workshop that is part learning frameworks, and part putting them into practice. In our three sessions we will be facilitating your self-discovery and if that scares you, you're good. Come and lurk and get inspired from the others who will be working through theirs.

When Tamsin and I decided to combine our powers and create the Creative Habit 2.0 Workshop, we knew it couldn't be a lecture. Because habits and creativity are bespoke AF. I have a habit of training jiu jitsu on weekday mornings, doesn't mean you should (I mean, if you're curious, DM me)

So, look, there's methods to avoid this outcome and Tamsin and I are presenting two Sept 22-24. We learned a lot from our last successful workshop and are making this even easier to digest and get results from the work.

And willpower will only get you so far. My wife will cringe when she reads this, but you can't just "raw dog" creativity (sorry Chloe). Burnout will happen... unless you have frameworks to keep moving even at slow times.
