Advice for creative progress:

Pick a creative act you can reliably and consistently repeat. “The Smallest Creative Act.”

Every day, write one thoughtful sentence.
Or draw one interesting contour.
Or compose one musical phrase.
Or take one compelling photograph.
Or cut out one new shape.
Or _______.

What’s the one, smallest creative act you can do each day, day after day?

It’s not about outcomes. It’s not about production. It’s about process. It’s about stretching a muscle. It’s about starting a creative streak and keeping it alive.

Set the bar low enough that there’s no barrier. Make it easy. Make it doable. Make it repeatable.

Then, after a hundred days — or a thousand — see what’s come of it. See how you’ve changed. See what new pathways have revealed themselves to you. And keep going.
