2024 prompts
If you are looking to be more creative this year, try these prompts!
Tackle the part of a project that you have been procrastinating.
You can always ask for writing advice in the writing community. Writers are very generous people. You got this!
Take a 2-week social media break to reset your attention, your algorithm and your relationship to time. Pay attention to how time feels, stretches and shifts throughout the 2 weeks.
Visit some places you have never been to, and observe how time feels within a new space. At the beginning or the end of each day, put a timer on for 7 minutes (or however long you want) and brain-dump all your observations with how your relationship with time and attention shifts.
Make a big list of all the people you would love to collaborate with. Include a few “pie in the sky” options that you think might never collaborate with you but would be your big dream.
Also include some “reaching backwards” options - people who may have a smaller following or presence than you or insecurities and that would benefit from collaborating with you. And then include lots and lots of people who are in a similar stage of career/creativity as you. Reach out to 3 to 5 people today for collaboration.
