Suggested Improvements — Week 6: The Well
Questions for Personalization
- When did you last consume art without trying to extract a lesson from it?
- What senses are you currently numb to?
- What childhood practice did you abandon because it was “unproductive”?
- What is the last image that stopped you cold?
- Where do you feel envy when you read transcripts from other people?
Suggested Improvements
- Add a restocking rule: one sensory intake per day that cannot be turned into content.
- Include a “forbidden joys” list from childhood—activities you stopped because they were not serious.
- Expand the log with a check for cross-domain noticing (e.g., a sound that reminded you of a project).
