Week 3 Recap: Creation Is a Process, Not a Personality Trait

Apr 20, 2025

This week was about making things.

Not perfectly. Not professionally.

Just… making them.

We explored how to create with ADHD instead of trying to force our brains to work like machines.

And we let AI be a creative co-pilot — the kind that never judges you, never loses momentum, and never forgets your half-finished ideas.

Day 14: Blank pages are the enemy of creativity. Let AI generate a messy first draft so you’re not starting from zero.

Day 15: Use AI as a draft machine — stop editing mid-sentence and start sculpting once you have something to react to.

Day 16: “I never finish anything” isn’t failure. It’s a flag that you might need a little help closing the loop — and AI can be that help.

Day 17: Bored with your own content? Ask AI to remix your message into a new format, tone, or metaphor. Let fun lead the way.

Day 18: Make something dumb on purpose. Break perfectionism by creating something playful with zero pressure to impress.

Day 19: Still sitting on that great idea? Use AI to explore it like you’re talking to a friend — no deadlines, just curiosity.

Creativity lives in movement, not magic.

And if AI can help get you moving, that’s creative success.

You don’t need:

You just need a spark.

A draft.

A tiny “What if…?”

And the willingness to keep nudging something into shape.

Take one idea — any idea — and paste this into ChatGPT:

“I want to create something around this: [insert idea]. Can you help me brainstorm a starting point and suggest one playful way to share it?”

Let AI open the door.

You walk through it.

💬 What did you make this week — even if it was silly, incomplete, or still just an outline? I’d love to hear about it.

Tomorrow we dive into Week 4: Managing Overwhelm (with AI as your sidekick) 😮‍💨

Trust me, it’s a good one.
