Ever notice how intimidating a blank page can feel? It doesn’t matter if it’s a sketchbook, a notebook, or a new project at work—the emptiness can be the hardest part.
Here’s the trick: don’t aim for perfect, aim for something. A line, a word, a doodle. Once the page isn’t blank anymore, momentum takes over.
At Commonwealth Creative, we’ve learned the same applies to strategy and design. Progress often starts with one simple mark—an idea on paper, a phrase that sparks clarity, or a draft we can build on. The first step is rarely the final version, but it’s always the one that unlocks the rest.
So if you’re staring down a blank page this weekend, try breaking the spell with a single stroke. You’ll be surprised at how quickly the ideas follow.
