A Year of Creative Experiments
In 2022 and 2023, I committed to one "creative experiment" per month.
This could be anything. As long as I was learning something new, feeling uncomfortable, and writing about it online— it counts! No rules, no goals, and no expectations.
2024 is a little bit different. Instead of a bunch of different experiments, I'm narrowing my focus to just 2 things: building my body-based productivity practice + online writing.
