Creative compound interest

Creative compound interest

Keep creating. Do something every day. Just one thing. It might take 2 minutes or 2 hours.

The magic isn't in the individual sketch, paragraph, or chord progression. It's in what happens when you string together 100 of them. Or 1,000.

Each small creative act builds on the last. Your eye sharpens. Your hand steadies. Your voice finds its rhythm. The ideas that felt impossible on day one become the warm-up exercises on day 200.

This isn't about grinding yourself into the ground or producing masterpieces daily. It's about showing up consistently for the thing that matters to you. Some days you'll surprise yourself. Others, you'll create something that's frankly rubbish (and that's fine — even the rubbish teaches you something).

The compound effect works because creativity is a muscle that strengthens with use, not a finite resource that depletes. The more you create, the more ideas arrive. The more you practice, the more natural it becomes.

Writers write. Painters paint. Musicians play.
