Day 2: DesignDash Focus & Flex Challenge
Summary
Reflection Questions
Journal Prompt
WHAT SMALL JOYS CAN YOU FIND IN YOUR CREATIVE PROCESS RIGHT NOW?
We tend to focus on the challenges and the stressors of complicated projects or mundane tasks instead of finding the small joys in our creative process. Refocus. What are those joys for you?
Notice the quiet moments of inspiration that strike unexpectedly or the peaceful rhythm of your creative routine. Think about the joy of problem-solving and the subtle nuances that make your work uniquely yours. What small overlooked aspects of your creative process excite you?
It’s Day Two of the Focus and Flex Challenge, but there’s still time to jump in! You’ll start right from the beginning with Day One’s workflow, and we’ll send you daily automated emails to guide you through.
This challenge is all about boosting your productivity and well-being, so if you’re ready to get focused and flexible, sign up now and join the fun! It’s not too late to make the most of this 7-day wellness and work series.
There’s Still Time to Sign Up!

Here’s How to Make the Most of the Focus & Flex Challenge
- Follow the Pomodoro techniques as you approach your work tasks.
- During your 5-minute break, make sure to stretch. We’ll send you a new stretch to try every day!
- Once you’ve completed four 25-minute Pomodoro sessions, consider our Journal prompt for the day. Use this as your quiet meditation time to set an intention with yourself. Make sure to write down how you’re feeling in your journal. It can be just one word or a simple thank you to yourself for taking such great care of your body and mind. Log in to DesignDash and click “Write Journal” at the top of this article to keep your entries all in one place!
