Are we going to procrastinate again in 2026… or do something different? 👀
Happy New Year 🌱
If I’m honest, procrastination showed up for me last year too. Not because I lost my passion, but because my attention was being pulled everywhere else.
Everyone wants it.
Everything steals it.
And when it came time to focus on the work that mattered to me, the muscle wasn’t always there.
Did that happen to you too?
What changed things wasn’t forcing discipline.
It was learning how to reclaim attention in very small, simple ways.
Through that, I got more done last year than I had in a long time, not by rushing, but by building one thing on top of another.
That’s the approach I’m carrying into this year.
I shared a short video about this here 🎥
These hacks are simple by design, but don’t be fooled, they’re powerful.
They’re low pressure, don’t require hours of effort, and are designed to work with your biology, not against it.
Each repetition trains the body to want to return to the work with less friction.
One of the biggest things I’m grateful for last year was teaching over 100 students in person 🎨
It taught me how to support people deeply and gently as they stay with their creative work. It also gave me stamina. And stamina eats procrastination for breakfast. That experience is a big reason this community exists.
One of the most powerful things we’ll be continuing with is our Make It Together sessions here ✍️
These are what I CRAVED when I started working as an artist.
Accountability.
Company.
Focused time to do the work.
Bring your work. Use this space. Turn up and move things forward alongside others. You can check the calendar for the Zoom dates. Or we can start a new poll for new dates if that suits the majority. Just comment below.
If you’re here and haven’t really engaged yet, consider this your invitation 💬
Even a small presence helps others step forward too.
