Anna’s Reviews > The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity > Status Update

I survived the week of reading deprivation thanks to a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle. Turns out not reading gives me more time but no more energy (if anything less) and makes me grumpy. The glorious flow state of reading is important for emotional regulation!

This week's chapter suggests READING DEPRIVATION. Not reading for a week is such an outlandish prospect for me that I want to try it, just to see what happens. Maybe I'll write something other than book reviews. Maybe I'll finally make sense of my pension situation. Maybe I'll go insane. Given the amount of time freed up, probably all three.

Going against all my instincts, I'm reading this week-by-week rather than galloping through the whole thing. Will writing my daily pages uncover some latent creativity? Guess I'll find out.
