So I challenge you to stop scrolling or wake up early or use your lunch break to do something that gets you closer to your goals.
  • What helps you get out of a creative rut on a day to day basis? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ One of my favorite ways to get inspired and get a little jolt of energy is by taking walks in my neighborhood. But all this snow makes it a little difficult to do some days, so I’d love to know some of your tricks.
