Summary

Reflection Questions

Journal Prompt

WHAT LAST SPARKED YOUR CREATIVITY?

Reflect on the last thing that sparked creativity for you. What was it? Take a moment to think about that particular moment or experience—perhaps it was a piece of art, a conversation, a walk in nature (like we talked about yesterday), or even a fleeting thought.

Now, consider how you can channel that same energy into your current project. Can you draw parallels between that inspiration and the work you’re doing now? Maybe you can borrow a specific element—like the use of light and shadow in a photograph, the emotional tone of a piece of music, or the structure of a narrative.

Write about how you’ll use that spark of inspiration in your work.

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!

SET A TIMER: Set a timer for 25 minutes and dedicate your focus to that task.

TAKE A BREAK: After the session, take a 5-minute break. During this break, work on the stretches outlined below and reflect on our thought prompt for the day.
