These principles serve as my guide to staying creatively free, prolific, and grounded. This is how I fight against a system designed to waste my attention.
1. Slowness as an Act of Rebellion
In a culture of speed and instant output, taking your time is resistance. Let work incubate. Don't wait for clarity—let clarity come through making.
2. Not Everything Needs an Audience
Make things with no intention to publish. Maintain a private sketchbook. Let some ideas stay yours alone. Visibility is not the goal—growth is.
3. Platforms Are Labs, Not Galleries
Stop treating social media as a place for polished outcomes. Share thought fragments. Post questions instead of statements. Test, don't perform.
4. Perfection Kills Momentum
Don't wait until you're ready. Ship sketches, fragments, and frameworks. Let others see you mid-thought. Movement matters more than completion.
5. Curate Deep Community
Seek real conversation over broad reach. Find sharp thinkers who challenge your ideas. Form tight circles where friction sparks growth, not platforms that flatten nuance.
6. Cut Fluff, Keep Depth
Strip away what doesn't matter. Prioritize precision and clarity. Keep the work minimal and let the complexity live beneath the surface.
This is how I stay free in a system built to flatten difference. This is how I think, make, and move.
