Have you struggled with maintaining productive habits, or constantly feel overwhelmed or unhappy? Do you feel disconnected from your intentions behind your creative projects or feel distracted?
By the end of this course, taught by creative educator, Art Director, and mental health advocate Sarah Edwards, you will be able to redefine success on your own terms, create healthier and more sustainable goals, reduce work-related stress and overwhelm, and build intentional habits that boost focus, creativity, and productivity. 4 Day Creative Reset: Reduce Stress & Boost Productivity is a short, powerful reset designed to help you change your working reality in less than one week. Through guided exercises, reflection, and practical tools, you’ll reconnect with your intentions, untangle productivity from pressure, and learn how to work in ways that support both your creativity and your well-being. This course is ideal for creatives, professionals, caregivers, and anyone who feels overwhelmed, distracted, or disconnected from their goals. You don’t need a creative background—just a willingness to reflect and try something new. To be successful, you should be open to self-assessment and small habit changes. What makes this course unique is its holistic, human-centered approach. You’ll complete a personalized Journey Map, use a 40+ page workbook, and apply simple, repeatable practices you can return to again and again for long-term clarity, balance, and success.
In this opening module, you'll begin your creative reset by grounding yourself in clarity and intention. Discover how redefining success can support your mental clarity and productivity.
