Morning doodle. Creative play makes the rest of the day go better, which is why my favorite time to do it is the morning. 😊

I’ve been reading The Coaching Habit, by Michael Bungay Stanier of boxofcrayons.biz (highly recommended!), and throughout the book there are links to a page with these helpful videos that illustrate the concepts in a little more depth, or just from a slightly different perspective. This morning I did a little sketchnote of one of the videos, a short webinar called “How to Help Your Team Find Focus.” It was fun to flex those sketchnoting muscles again! Thanks, Michael, for a little bite-sized opportunity. 😊

I just spent the last hour leading a Virtual Playday for my Creative Sandbox Community. First, I gessoed a couple of clipboards (which I use for games during my Creative Sandbox Retreats), and then in the last 15 minutes I made this doodle.

Aaahhhh… such a gift to give ourselves creative sandbox playtime! And such an *essential* gift, because play not only boosts your mood, it also boosts willpower, which means it gives you more PATIENCE and FOCUS, so you’re better able to get all that “worky-work” done, without succumbing to distractions! 🖍
Creative play is not frivolous, it’s necessary. Don’t ever forget it! How are you going to feed yourself with some creative play today?

Day 5: “fee”
Playing with different ways of drawing this concept. Still clumsy at hands, but working on it! .

Abstract morning doodle. I’ve been having a string of insomniac nights. Last night I did not sleep much, and I feel pretty cruddy today. While creating this piece, I forgot how cruddy I felt. 😊

Maybe I’ll get to take a nap later…
