Your skills are either growing or decaying right now, there's no neutral. Let's talk about training creativity.
Part of a six-part series called The Invisible Instruments, this episode breaks down the parallels between physical strength training and creative development: why one session matters less than the streak, why talent is a gift but training is a choice (borrowing Jerry Seinfeld's "thoroughbred horse" idea), and why plateaus aren't dead ends but platforms for the next climb.
Also covered: the recency bias that makes growth feel invisible day to day, why most of what you make will be bad and why that's the process rather than a problem, and the one metric worth tracking instead of chasing daily proof of progress.
