CEO & Cofounder at Focused Space.
Uzbek/American/New Zealander. CEO at focused space. Previously at Twitter, PhD in Computer Science from the University of Washington (Seattle). I love dancing, Alex Jaffe, D&D, ice cream, hip hop, hot pot, select video games. I hate turnips.
Sometimes, making progress on creative work is really difficult. The process is often non-linear, and uncertainty, self-doubt, and self-criticism can creep in, making it hard to move forward.
Planning your week ahead of time is a great way to get unstuck. Although some people think planning stifles creativity, we believe it is actually freeing! It allows us to approach our week with clarity and confidence.
Join us for this session to plan your week with us. It will be an amazing way to kick off your week and make progress on the creative projects you care about.

The FieldTrips experience is defined not only by what the host has to share, but also by how we show up individually and collectively. The way we show up impacts our capacity to be moved, inspired, and activated.
Get ready to be immersed! Engage with smiles, nods, waves, emojis. Share in the chat. Get cozy. Turn off notifications. Sip your favorite beverage.
Wear your beginnerâs hat. Go with the flow. Welcome the stumbles and fumbles. Congratulate yourself for trying. Keep going!Â
Our hosts are members of the CreativeMornings communityâjust like you! Everyone comes to this with different backgroundsâa lot of our hosts have never done anything like this before! And we love that! Cheer them on when something goes awry and when it goes perfectly.
Weâre all figuring things out in real time. Celebrate, rather than critique emerging ideas. Cheer each other on as you try new things. Try âYes! AndâŚâ in conversation.
Itâs 100% okay when a FieldTrip does not resonate with you. Pop out quietly and try another experience later. Fill out the survey with your feedback (no dms to host or chat commentary, please.)
