Complete your envelope manifesto — the 5 physical reminders of why you do what you do.

ASSIGNMENT

Create your own envelope manifesto. I encourage you to do all 5 prompts (seriously, they're super fast), but if you'd rather choose just 3 or 4, that's fine, too. The important thing is staying focused and mindful while your work. That's how you'll get the clarity that this is all about.

List what you care about
Scribble til it hurts
Tear that sheet into a million tiny pieces (confettiiiiii)
Question the money ($ $ $ $ $ $ $ $)
Set aside a momento

All you'll need is a pen, some paper, and some kind of container or envelope. Maybe a dollar bill. You know, do what you feel. This is all about the feelings!! Once you have all the pieces together, seal them away in your envelope. This is your manifesto, your creative mission in physical form, your guide.

DELIVERABLE

This is a really personal project, so share what you're comfortable with. For some of you, that may mean photographing your envelope. For others, you'll share every prompt.

So: share what you can, and then reflect a little. By sharing your experience, you'll inspire others and maybe even find your next collaborator. That's what so cool about this whole thing.

Photograph your envelope
Share the guts — your list, your memento, however much you'd like!
Tell us what this was like for you
