Chunking
Inside baseball.
TEN MINUTE ARTIST PROMPT
Chunk your tasks.
Are there areas in your life that you could combine and chunk?
Could you collect multiple tasks and do them as a cafe as one chunk of work. Or could you chunk work you do in the studio.
Maybe checking social media, email and messages could be done in a single chunk.
Maybe it’s exercising and listening to an audio book as a growth chunk?
Today’s prompt is a journaling prompt, but you can turn it into a drawing prompt by drawing icons for the different activities you decide to chunk together.
Speaking of chunking, I’m chunking this newsletter. Streamlining it.
Now,
There are only two categories.
Daily Prompt & Creative Breakthrough
In the past I also had workshops, interviews, guides, blueprints, etc. It’s a lot to manage. And it’s difficult to explain.
Instead I want to make things as clear an obvious as I can.
Daily Prompts are free and self explanatory.
Free but not cheap, as
would say. A lot goes into making sure you have some insight to think about daily and some prompt to challenge you.Creative Breakthrough does a better job of explaining the value of a 5-day email series than Creative Sprint.
Sprint sounds like work, breakthrough is a result. And we’re all here for results. Also 5 day’s is arbitrary, by focusing on the result, It might be a 3 day series, or 30 depending on the outcome we’re after.
So bare with me as repopulate the breakthrough section. I’m imagining an archive of high quality programming, based on desired creative outcomes. It’s painful to change, but all of us will benefit from having a resource library with all the breakthrough we need.
