PRACTICES
-TIME: do you have time generated to new ideas? do you create for fun?
-ENERGY: need to have lots to give. practice pruning
-STIMULUS: you create what you absorb
-FOCUS: what am I trying to do right now? “awareness test”
-RELATIONSHIPS: who stimulates you?
IM CONSIDERING:

-designating creative time regularly
