I’m a big fan of David Lynch - not just of Twin Peaks and his films, but also of his devotion to a life of art and following his creativity. After reading his books and watching interviews, it’s clear that the way he manages to do that is by a deep commitment to dreaming and the realm of ideas. One of the main ways to catch ideas is - you guessed it! - to slow down. How could we possibly notice them if we’re rushing through life? But slowing down is still largely a practice and a privilege. It gets me thinking, what are intentional ways to carve out time and get dreamy? For me, creating little prompts/challenges work as helpful reminders to break the flow of routine and invite dreaming. For example, lately I’ve been trying to take at least one photo or short video of something unexpected that catches my eye as I go about my day. Any other ideas? I’d love to add more tools to my dream kit ☁️

Okay one more, I guess I'm on a roll. I've got 30-60 minutes in the morning before I need to log in for work. I could use that time to pay bills (see earlier cast) or I could use it for idea time. I was working on a novel for a while and put about 400 hours into it one year. Morning time was a big part of that — 60 to 90 minutes every weekday morning (longer on weekends), but I had more time back then. The fact that it happened at the same time every day is what made it work — routine = predictable, and there's value in it being predictable.

And if you have the money, pay for services. I used to mow my lawn until I realized a service can do in 20 minutes what takes me 3 hours. That's 3 hours at least every 2 weeks that I save and it costs me $110/month. If I were to lose my time (have less money and more time) I'd go back to mowning it myself, tho

Sometimes you just gotta say F it: that bill's gonna be paid late, I'll eat leftovers tonight (instead of grocery shopping), I'm not spending one minute searching for a birthday gift for my niece who won't even remember it, etc.
