7 creative mini-challenges to start the year without blockages. January is a perfect month to reconnect with creativity after the holiday break. The start of a new year is usually accompanied by expectations, resolutions and desire to start projects... but also by blocks. The pressure to do it "right", the fear of the blank page or the lack of motivation can hold back even the most creative people. That's why, instead of big goals or ambitious projects, a good way to kick-start the creative year is to start small. Mini-challenges allow you to activate your imagination without demands or long-term commitments. In this article we propose 7 simple and accessible creative mini-challenges, designed to reconnect with the pleasure of creating and recover the habit little by little. Why do the mini-challenges work? Creative mini-challenges work because they lower the barrier to entry. They require little time, take the pressure off the end result, and put the focus on the process. Plus: They help generate creative habit, even on low-energy days. They are flexible and customizable, adaptable to any discipline. They encourage play and experimentation, without fear of making mistakes. They can be done alone or in community, sharing results and ideas. The important thing is not to finish something "perfect", but to activate the creative movement.
