Creativity is a gift.

It can help you solve problems, chase goals, and move through boredom without much effort.

Most of the time, it works in your favor.

But what happens when it doesn’t?

This week’s companion anchors to that moment. When there’s too much to do and not enough clarity on where to begin.

I hope what you find inside helps you choose the actions that matter and return to them for the right reasons.

We say yes to everything we care about. And it works…until it doesn’t.
There’s always another version of you to catch up to. Another person doing more. Another path that looks like it might finally unlock the freedom you want.
