Project Lab
Your Most Creative Work is that which is important to you, yet it magically gets squeezed behind other priorities in life.
This recurring workshop is designed to help you focus and start making progress on the projects that matter most to you.
The Project Lab is a facility that engineers success. Because if you put in the time towards your goals, they will get achieved. Put in the work first, and worry about the outcomes later.
This is a live session to help you sit down and put some time into your Most Creative Work.
The Structure
To kick off the session I will go over one of my concepts or thoughts to stir up some activity in the mind and get us warmed up
There will be a five minute free-write to help you get some ideas onto the page and loosen up the creative muscles
Then we work for 55 minutes at the project
Afterwards we follow up with a bit of discussion to bring up issues that you are having with your project or to report what sort of progress you’ve made
What People Say About It:
The Most Creative Project Lab allowed me to schedule and prioritize creative and administrative work for my art practice. I came to the lab after procrastinating for months on a new artist statement for a recent collection of work, and I left the 1.5-hour session with 1550 words of usable content and a renewed sense of commitment. -Theresa Slater
It seems like a simple idea, setting aside an hour to work on my writing project, but left to my own devices I will find a million reasons not to do it. That’s why the Project Lab Session is so useful—not only for carving out time but even more important, for gathering in community with other creatives diving into the complex, magical unknown. There’s a synergistic wave we ride together when we are intentional about our Most Creative Work.
This is great for people who are stuck and need to get some momentum under their belt.
You can use this session for:
Writing a book or screenplay
Composing music or practicing your instrument
Writing a business plan or applying to funding for a major project
Meditation or journaling
How This Is Unique
There are many other coworking initiatives available to you at the moment, such as Focusmate. Yet many of them are generic in their aim. You can use them to file taxes or write clients back. There is no emphasis on the session being devoted to your Most Creative Work.
In the Project Lab however, you are asked to push your projects forward that no one is asking you to do, but your soul knows it has to get done.
There are also not many sessions available during the week, so rather than asking you to log on all day and work, these sessions take on a special place in your calendar.
And finally, by nature of this being a new initiative, the focus rooms are small in terms of attendee number. When a focus room has too many people in it, the personal touch is gone and there is no more accountability. You can get out of your seat as much as you want and no one cares.
The vision for the Project Lab is to keep the rooms small in size forever.
Pricing
The Project Lab operates on a monthly fee of $27 USD which gives you unlimited sessions for the month.
This also includes two simple accountability tools which involve checking in about the progress of your project to help you feel a bit more supported in work that might take a long time to get out to the public.
