Clear the Decks: Free Your Creative Energy
September 23, 2025
Hello, writers!
How many unfinished projects are quietly draining your creative energy right now?
If you just felt a flutter of anxiety reading that question, you're not alone. Most of us carry an invisible weight of incomplete creative work—manuscripts at various stages, courses we started but didn't finish, ideas that felt urgent once but now feel like obligations.
Your brain treats every unfinished project as an "open loop," using precious cognitive bandwidth to track it in the background. It's like having 47 browser tabs open on your mental computer. Everything slows down.
This is why we're so excited about our September class: "Clear the Decks: The Art of Knowing What to Keep, Release, and Transform."
🎯 THIS MONTH'S CLASS: CLEAR THE DECKS
Friday, September 26th at 10 AM PT Free for all Fountain members | Recording available in our growing archive
In this transformative hour, you'll learn:
- The neuroscience of creative overwhelm: why your brain can't tell the difference between an unfinished novel and an unpaid bill
- The Three Paths Framework: a simple system for sorting every project into ACTIVE, COMPOST, or HIBERNATE categories
- Release rituals that actually work: how to close mental loops and free up creative bandwidth
- The art of creative composting: harvesting gifts from projects you're ready to release
You'll leave with: ✓ A clear inventory of all your creative commitments ✓ 1-2 projects to focus on actively ✓ Peace about what you're choosing NOT to do ✓ A personalized release ritual for projects you're ready to let go
Plus: Receive our NEW Monthly Creative Inventory Template (FREE) 📋
This handy template helps you maintain the clarity you create in class with monthly 30-minute check-ins. Never let creative overwhelm build up again.
🎁 YOUR FREE TEMPLATE: MONTHLY CREATIVE INVENTORY
We're so excited to share this powerful tool with you. Our Monthly Creative Inventory Template includes:

FROM CHELSEA & KIM
We created Clear the Decks because we've been there—drowning in half-finished projects, feeling guilty about what we're not doing instead of energized by what we are doing.
The breakthrough came when we realized that every unfinished project has already given you something valuable. The key isn't finishing everything; it's consciously choosing where to invest your creative energy now.
This class (and the free monthly template) gives you a framework for making those choices with clarity instead of guilt, with intention instead of overwhelm.
We can't wait to help you clear your creative deck and make space for what truly calls to you.
See you Friday!
Chelsea & Kim
