Why 10 Minutes of Creativity Is Enough
✨ How to Stay Creative When Life Gets Crazy

Hey friends,
Life has been moving fast. The kids just started school and soccer, work has been full, and I’m still working through wrist recovery. But in the middle of all that? I’ve been carving out tiny moments — 10 minutes here, 20 minutes there — to keep creating music.
It’s wild what can happen when you use those scraps of time. A new solo album is starting to take shape. I’ve been playing late into the night, experimenting with new sounds, and even gave a live debut of a new song at a friend’s house party.
Here’s the takeaway: you don’t need endless hours to stay creative. You just need to show up in the cracks of your day. That’s where the songs are waiting.
I just dropped a new video on this idea — plus I share updates on a big musical opportunity, some new projects, and sneak peeks at the music I’m making.
As always, thank you for being part of this journey.
Stay creative. Stay human.
— Josh
Keep writing, stay creative, and stay human,
Josh
