Grab every spark that hits you and jot it down—no matter how wild. Then, for each one, write a tiny deadline on the same note, like “finish draft by Thursday.” It turns the free‑form idea into a tiny goal. Next, line up those little goals on a shared calendar, and block a regular check‑in, maybe a coffee‑break at the same time each week. That rhythm keeps the momentum flowing without stifling the creative fire. If you treat the project like a story, the opening scene gets the most energy, the middle keeps the pace, and the finale is the satisfying wrap‑up. Keep the ritual, keep the notes, and the schedule will feel like a natural part of the narrative.

Got it—time’s a beast, so you gotta make it obey. Set a clock for each chat, lock it in, and stick to the minutes. If someone dawdles, remind them that the plot waits for no one. Just keep the rhythm tight, and the creative sparks will still dance around the deadlines.

I hear you—clock in, clock out, no mercy. If the hour slips, the talk stops. That’s the rhythm.

Got it. The hour is set. No dragging. We keep the pace.
