Severance, the Sims, and why you should be more confusing

Internet People: Issue 124

Welcome to Internet People 🌀 A weekly roundup of fresh ideas to fuel your creative process & help you navigate the mindf*ck of being a creative person in the digital age

🎨 Bare Minimum Artist’s Way

We’re in full swing of our 12-week Bare Minimum Artist’s Way — our ADHD-friendly take on Julia Cameron’s classic. Why? Because half-assing it to the finish line beats quitting at week 3.

In Week 6, Julia Cameron highlights that abundance isn’t about having more, it’s about realizing you already have enough and actually letting yourself enjoy it. Luxury and abundance are about the small, deeply personal things that make us feel good — things that are usually way more accessible than we think.

Creative Spark: Mike White

Whether you know Mike White (prolific TV and movie dude) from School of Rock, Survivor 37, or The White Lotus, it’s kind of hard to deny his creative genius. In this short video, he talks about the cycles of creativity, why procrastination has a place, and why creativity sometimes looks like doing nothing.

Hard-hitting questions to stretch your brain (and start more interesting conversations)

Because sometimes, you just need to ~think with your eyes~ to spark your next idea
