Creative Practice Routine

Creative, open-ended thinking is trainable through engagement and does not simply fade with age (Grade C). This routine prioritizes making and expression over polished output. The wellbeing and engagement value is the point: treat any cognitive spillover as a bonus, not a promise.

Grade inherited from the evidence blocks this routine implements. Duration is a starting point (do more or less); the app just tells you where you land against the evidence-based dose.
