Flux & Flow Issue #68 What It Means to Be in a Season There are stretches where everything feels harder than it should. Not because you have lost discipline. Not because you need a better system. But because you are in a different season than the one you are trying to plan for. This week, I want to offer a lens I have been using personally and with others when things feel out of sync and clarity feels elusive. Not as a productivity method. Not as a goal-setting exercise. But as a way of...

Flux & Flow Issue #67 Flux & Flow: A Moment of Gratitude As we move toward the end of the year and into the quieter rhythm of the holidays, I wanted to take a moment to say thank you. Thank you for reading Flux & Flow. For making space for reflection in a world that constantly pushes for more output. For staying curious about how to build momentum without burning yourself out. Your presence here matters more than metrics or milestones, and I’m genuinely grateful you continue to show up week...

Flux & Flow Issue #66 How Creative Insights Become Creative Work We are insight-generating machines. As creatives, we’ve honed our imagination and observation to the point where ideas surface almost without effort. They show up while reading. During conversations. Or in that quiet space between focused activity. You make a connection. You notice something interesting. You jot it down on a Post-It or in your sketchbook. And then it sits there. More ideas accumulate. More connections get...

Flux & Flow Issue #65 Closing Loops Without Starting Over It’s that time of year again. The season of year-end reviews, big-picture reflection, and ambitious goal setting. The feeds fill with frameworks, yearly review challenges, and the inevitable counter-message urging you to ignore all of it. People share their breakthroughs, their clean slates, and the long list of achievements they expect to pursue in the new year. But for many creators, that invitation to evaluate the year does not...

Flux & Flow Issue #64 Reflection as Foundation for Creative Momentum Another Sunday evening rolls around and you open your journal or review app. You scan what happened this week, maybe track a metric or two, maybe jot a small observation. Then you close it and move on. Reflection often gets treated like upkeep. Something responsible people do to stay mindful or prevent mistakes from compounding. But reflection is not only about looking back. When it becomes part of how you work, it turns...

Flux & Flow Issue #63 Gratitude as Creative Practice This week many of us pause for Thanksgiving. It is often framed as a chance to appreciate what went well or to slow down long enough to feel grateful for the good parts of life. But for creators working inside constant change, gratitude can be more than a seasonal ritual. It can be a practical tool that helps you understand your creative path with more clarity and intention. Most creators I work with treat reflection and gratitude as...

Flux & Flow Issue #62 Finding Actionable Coherence in a Sea of Information You already have more than enough inputs. Notes from a podcast that stuck with you. A few articles you saved last week. A half-formed idea from a conversation that keeps tugging at your attention. Screenshots, highlights, and bookmarks scattered across apps. It is easy to assume there is insight hiding somewhere in that pile. If you could organize it better or review it at the right moment, clarity would finally break...

Flux & Flow Issue #61 Stop Fighting the Information Flood There’s a familiar pattern playing out across creative circles. Someone discovers digital minimalism, unsubscribes from half their newsletters, deletes their social apps, and vows to consume only “essential” information. It feels lighter for a moment. Clearer. Finally, they think, I’ll stop drowning in content and actually make progress with my creative work. Three weeks later, the flood returns. The feeds refill. Subscriptions creep...

Flux & Flow Issue #60 Seeing Your Information Ecosystem Clearly You know the pattern. A new article catches your eye. You save it for later. A podcast episode sounds amazing so you add it to your app. A YouTube video promises that it will provide information that you absolutely must learn so you save it to “Watch Later”. The collecting feels productive, like you’re building something with huge potential. But weeks later you still haven’t touched any of it, let alone used it to move your...
