Every two weeks

The challenges

One prompt at a time, each built to push a passion a little further into the open. Inside the window it's worth 2 points; after, it's still worth 1.

Start Your Manual

Oct 11 – Oct 25

In The Invisible List, I write about the importance of creating a "manual." This is where you codify all of the key moves, lessons, reflections that make someone successful at your craft. Your challenge this week is to start that manual (if you haven't yet) and share at least one page with the community via WhatsApp. If you already have a manual, add at least one new page.

Go Public
