STUDY HALL

Do you have something you want to learn about or finally do? Something that’s been nagging at you for ages, crying for attention, but you’ve just not been able to sit down and work on it?

Maybe it's exploring what it would feel like to actually give being an artist a go. Maybe it's finally writing that spicy romance novel you’ve been thinking about for ages, or learning to sew. Maybe it’s learning to tattoo, or making your first quilt, or figuring out how to make more money in your business so you can stop stressing every month.

Here’s I how I see it: you have a wish, a desire, an intention.

Something that needs your time and attention.

Something that requires you to be in relationship with it.

Something that would feel really good to get done or make progress on.

But the things you’ve tried in the past — productivity tools, that system you saw in that one YouTube video, pomodoro timers haven’t worked.

That’s not your fault.

You were trying to survive in the wrong shaped container. It’s like putting soup in a square Tupperware. Yeah, technically it fits but it feels really, really wrong.

THE RiGHT CONTAiNER CAN ACTUALLY SOLVE ANY PROBLEM.

If you, like me, are some version of neurodivergent, chronically ill, low spooned, wobbly brained or bodied — you need a container that is designed for you to thrive in.

It needs to be flexible enough that you don’t get demand avoidance and chuck the whole thing out the window but it needs to firm enough that it keeps you moving forward.

To solve the flexible enough problem you need my version of a personal curriculum and to solve the firm enough problem you need Study Hall.

Personal Curriculums: This is not about setting a goal and accomplishing something — it's about creating a map for the thing you want to explore. They need to provide flexible scaffolding that is a little breadcrumb path towards your intention, but also has space for your curiosity and intuition to explore and work their magic.

Study Hall: Things that can happen anytime will happen very often happen never. That’s why deadlines work so well for so many people. There’s also another tool that works really well called “body doubling”. Having other people around you works some kind of magic on your brain and helps you lock in. And having set times for when this body doubling happens removes any friction around deciding the when/where of it all.

I believe there is magic in setting an intention and showing up for it.

I believe there is magic in embracing play and possibility.
