Try something. Try it again. And again.

This can be a method for iterative improvement.

But often, we think of this as being a quick, sequential process (which can certainly work).

However, there’s merit to a delayed repeat. To rediscovering the archives and bringing a new approach to creative problems we solved and have since shelved.

A certain meal. A photoshoot. A composition. A sculpture. A workshop.

Perhaps you completed it long ago. How might you do it today? What new skills and experience can you bring to the problem now … that you couldn’t have brought when you first solved it? What new energy can you bring to old projects?

Delayed repeats. They could be fun to explore.
