September 18, 2025 · 26 min

Show notes

If you find yourself lacking time or motivation for your creative practice, just thinking about the compounding effect of a tiny investment can sometimes be just what we need to get going and keep going. This week Tricia explores how this approach can get you through the ‘difficult middle’ and before long you'll be looking back, amazed about how much you and your creative practice have grown.
