Find your starting point

Begin with “Creativity is something you do”. Read the lesson before moving into the practical session.

Make one useful attempt

Choose an ordinary object, record a few concrete observations, and turn one observation into a question worth exploring.

03 / RETURN

Keep what helps

Use the 10 worksheet pages to record decisions, then return to the 30-day creative practice when you want a little structure.

Read an excerpt

You do not need to become a different person to make interesting work. You need something to notice, a question worth following, and a way to return when the work becomes awkward. This book helps you build those conditions.

  2. Build a place you can return to
  3. Begin with what is actually there

  5. Name the obstacle precisely
  6. Make room for alternatives
  7. Commit without pretending to know everything
  8. Build the version that can teach you
  9. Feedback is material, not a verdict
