When you're *real intentional* with every single hour

Reader, I have something really important to say to you about the act of CREATING.

Well... I didn't actually say it. This person did:

The *act of creating* will QUITE LITERALLY SAVE YOU

A friend of mine spontaneously started writing a novel.

She's a career mom of two young children who usually can't keep her eyes open by 9pm is now energetically typing away until 1:30am.

Coincidence? Doubtful.

I'm gonna let you in on a little secret that tbh i've been afraid to admit fully:

I haven't done any client work since May when both opportunities ended at the same time.

With a decent chunk of funds still in the biz and a few receivables remaining, I took it as a sign from the universe to take the *full leap* into ClickUp.

& I swear, the more I lean into this path and trust the process, the more CREATION flows out of me.

I'm just full on CREATING right now... every day I'm writing (and loving every second of it), I'm inventing new pathways to music income, designing concert posters.

What do you think? Does it make cool merch??

For the full almost 11 years I've been at this whole freelancing thing, there's always been that pull to CREATE.

But for most of that time, my fear of imperfection, failure, looking stupid, being in the unknown... it all held me back.

Now feels different.

& even if you're sick to death of me talking about it, I literally can't stop bc Focus Framework is 100% why.

I'm proof that when you're intentional about how you spend every hour of your day – the brain finally has space to CREATE.

It's empowering sure, but mostly it's mentally freeing

All the highs and lows of being in CREATION–putting it out there to crickets, relentless self-doubt, fear–are still there.

But with a singular plan, you keep moving forward anyway. You just narrow your focus and follow the steps. Things move forward. You just do.

Especially when:

You don't have to hold so much in your head.

You don't cave to fear so readily when there's clear progress.

You don't treat your time like it belongs to just anybody.

Without a singular plan? It's confusing, scattered, and there's too much going on so don't even try Reader.

The thing is: when it's in the plan, you just gotta get it done.

There's less emotion involved when all you need to do today to move that goal forward is X. Check.

Not "write a novel." Just "write 500 words."

Not "launch a course." Just "outline module 1."

Not "start a business." Just "register the domain."

When creation is in your plan alongside everything else, it stops being this big scary thing you'll do "someday."

It just becomes: Tuesday at 2pm, I'm doing this.

And then you do it.

So if there's something you've been wanting to make, this is your sign Reader.

Put it in the plan. Make it as real as any client deliverable.

Because the act of creating will quite literally save you.
