Early chaos

For a long time, my process depended on momentum. When energy was high, work moved fast. When it wasn’t, progress stalled. Results varied more than I liked.

Creativity felt unpredictable.

Adding structure

Things improved once I introduced simple structure. Clear stages, fewer tools, and defined stopping points reduced uncertainty without limiting flexibility.

Structure became support, not constraint.

Why it works

A repeatable process freed mental space. Instead of constantly deciding how to work, I could focus on what mattered.

The work improved as a result.
