How to be more 3x more creative….

Even when you feel stuck!

I used to think creativity was a mood. That it would visit me if I was lucky

Now I know better.

Creativity isn’t a mood. It’s a muscle.
And like any muscle, it needs practice, play, and the occasional reset.

In this week’s letter, I’m not going to give you vague advice like
just be more curious or consume better content.

Instead, here are a few real things that actually helped me create better ideas and get unstuck as a writer, creator, freelancer.

1. Steal Like a Collector

The most creative people I know? They’re always borrowing but never blindly.

They notice what works. They collect things that move them, a line from a book, a visual motif from a movie, a random Reel transition.
And then they remix it into something of their own.

Tip: Keep a Creative Swipe File in Notion, Notes, or even a physical notebook. Include ideas, designs, sentence structures, hooks, jokes, anything that catches your brain.

2. Boredom is Fuel

I don’t get my best ideas while brainstorming. I get them while washing dishes. Or walking the dogs.

If your brain feels noisy, let it be bored.
