Weekly
·
Sundays
Create
a
"
done
list
"
at

week
to
celebrate
completed
creative
actions
,
no
matter
how
small
.
Weekly
Do
one
creative
thing
purely
for
fun
—
with
no
goal
,
audience
,
or
outcome
attached
to
it
.
Once
this
month
Limit
one
distracting
habit
during
creative
time
(
e
.
g
.,
put
your
phone
in
another
room
)
for
7
consecutive
days
.
Days
1–7
Review
your
idea
notebook

the
month
,
highlight
3
promising
seeds
,
and
plan
the
next
step
for
each
.
By
day
30
How
to
use
this
list
:
Aim
for
1–2
goals
per
day
rather
than
trying
to
do
everything
at
once
.
Pick
one
"
non
-
negotiable
"
goal
(
like
the
daily
freewrite
),
and
layer
optional
goals
on
top
when
you
have
energy
.
Momentum
builds
faster
from
small
,
repeated
wins
than
from
occasional
bursts
of
intense
effort
.
