What You Get to Practice
Permission to choose imperfectly
The first step is about addressing the uncomfortableness of choosing the wrong idea or project, and overthinking the choices.
The pressure of picking just one idea, can feel like the choice is permanent and identity-defining. You get to pick a small project to work on from provided suggestions, and move on. You can also bring your own project.
Beginning before you’re ready
You begin your project before you have done aalll the research, and gone over your choice from all angles.
This is the (for some of us) uncomfortable practice of creating without editing. It’s the practice of just beginning.
Complete a first imperfect version
You will actually finish the small project you have picked. It will be small, quick and beautifully imperfect, and just for you. It will be the first version. You may or may not improve it later, but a first crappy version will be done.
Understanding your process more
This little practice has reflections attached, that are guiding you to become aware of your creating process. This self-awareness will help you understand where your thoughts and feelings get you stuck.
Creating projects and bringing ideas to life is not just something other people do. It’s something you do too.

Kaizen-Muse Creativity CoachCoaching creatives for more than a decade, I understand the creative process is a personal journey and, for many of us, our busy minds and lives mean creative work gets pushed to the side.
This short guide is for you, who want to be creative, but are perhaps low on energy, are feeling the feels, and finishing a project seems overwhelming and out of reach.
Because in my experience, it’s never lack of skills or discipline that stop us. It’s the thoughts and feeling we carry. This little guide is a safe space for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
This course is divided over 5 lessons, which I in theory think of as 5 day.
Each lesson has a video with me talking, and the daily step, plus a couple of questions for your reflection.
You can do the whole course in a few hours if you want, or a couple of days, but I think the 5 days has good learning.
-
Not in real time, as such. This is a self-paced course, more like a guide, really.
You are always welcome to email me with any questions you might have.
-
Unfortunately no, this is a digital course, at a low-level price, so there is no refund.
I am quite sure, though, that you will find it useful, as you can keep coming back to this structure whenever you get stuck with future projects.

For a long time! For as long as I have this coaching site.
