The design rule I’m ignoring this week

Let your intuition lead and see what shows up

This email is part of my four-week creativity challenge, running through August (though you can join in at any time!). It’s a little gift for paid subscribers and a way to make space for creativity at home when we need it most.

Hello from a very jet-lagged version of me! I was in California this past weekend, celebrating two very beautiful humans, and it was so much fun that I almost forgot about my responsibilities… what a feeling!

Luckily, this week’s creative home task is simple and joyful enough to manage even on very little sleep.

(It does not involve touching beautiful trees, although I fully encourage you to do that at all times.)

Week 2 is all about loosening the grip: making small, intuitive choices that aren’t about “good” design, but about what feels good. We’re intentionally tossing out the rulebook (sorry, perfectionists).

Instead of one single prompt, I’ve put together a short list of creative dares for you. Your mission is to pick one and try it!
