Give yourself less: less time, fewer colors, one mic. Limits drag the good ideas out of hiding.

Wide open space is harder to work in than a small room. With everything available you reach for the first familiar option, because nothing is pushing you past it. Take the options away and your brain has to solve an actual problem, and the odd solution it finds is usually the one worth keeping. Limits are not punishment, they are pressure.

Set one rule before your next session and hold it. Three colors, one hour, no second take. Notice what you reach for when the easy route is closed.
