The creative habit that has the most impact (and almost no one practices)

The Forgotten Creative Habit: Look Back to Move Forward. In the creative world, there is constant talk of inspiration, new references, techniques to unblock the mind or how to generate ideas faster. However, in that relentless search for the new, many people overlook a simple habit that can have a profound and lasting impact on their creative evolution. It's not about producing more, or consuming more external stimuli. It's about looking back with intention. To review. To stop. To observe one's own creative path with different eyes. The forgotten habit: regular creative review. The creative review consists of dedicating time, consciously, to review your own previous work: sketches, discarded ideas, incomplete texts, closed projects or even those you never finished. It is not a review based on harsh self-criticism or judgment, but on curiosity. It is not only about looking at the final result, but also about observing the process: how you thought, what interested you, what decisions you made and why. This habit rarely appears in the usual creative routines, but it is one of the most transformative.

Grammy 2026: A historic night for global music

Bad Bunny Makes Grammy History at the 2026 Grammys by Winning Album of the Year with an All-Spanish Album. The 68th Annual Grammy Awards took place on February 1, 2026 at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, once again establishing itself as the music industry's most important gala. This ceremony, organized by The Recording Academy, recognized artists, songwriters, producers and technicians for their recordings released between August 31, 2024 and August 30, 2025. Comedian Trevor Noah hosted the gala for the sixth and final time, closing out his tenure as host of a night filled with music, emotion and historic milestones. An unprecedented triumph: Bad Bunny makes history One of the news that marked this edition was the triumph of Bad Bunny in the category of Album of the Year for DeBÍ Tirar Más Fotos. With this victory, the Puerto Rican became the first artist to win this award with an album entirely in Spanish, a historic moment that reflects the growing presence and global relevance of the Latin music market. In addition to the main award, DeBÍ Tirar Más Fotos also won the award for Best Urban Music Album, consolidating the night as one of the biggest celebrations of his career.
