How Long Does The Course Take?

Hi, before we go further i want to tell you something pretty important: 

How much time you actually need to set aside for this.

The videos? Just over two hours in total. But let’s be honest, if all you do is watch two hours of videos, you’re not really doing the course. You’re just… watching videos.

This framework works when you engage with it. When you think,  experiment, take walks,  do the exercises. So let me break down what that actually looks like, depending on how you want to approach it.

🚀 Option 1: The Weekend Deep Dive

Some of you want to lock in, unplug from distractions, and just go deep. This is for you, a two-day immersive designed to ignite your curiosity, challenge your assumptions, and get something real out the door.

🪞 Saturday: Wake Up Your Creative Instincts

Morning (9am–12pm):

Start with Videos 1–9 (Your Creative Reset, Curiosity vs. Worry,  Stimulus Collisions,  etc.)

That’s about an hour of footage. But give yourself the full three hours.

  • Pause when something hits you.
  • Take notes.
  • Let ideas bounce around.

    This isn’t linear learning, it’s exploratory. Treat it like a guided creative wander.

Afternoon (2pm–5pm):

  • Do the exercises from this first block.
  • Try The Echo Test (Lesson 11)
  • Identify the constraints shaping how you think.
  • Begin experimenting with metaphor.

    This is where the material starts becoming yours, when reflection turns into insight.

🧠 Sunday: Build,  Stretch,  Walk It Off

Morning (9am–12pm):

Watch Videos 10–23

You’ll meet your creative partner (AI), learn the Shower Principle,  and confront execution friction.

Again,  pace yourself:

  • Watch slowly.
  • Reflect.
  • Let patterns emerge.

Afternoon (2pm–5pm):

  • Complete the remaining exercises.
  • Do the 80-Minute Build Challenge (Lesson 20).
  • Then, go for a walk.

    Seriously.

    30–60 minutes. No phone. Just you and what’s now stirring. That walk might become the most important part of your weekend.

💡 Total Investment: ~12 hours

Best For: Learners who want a full-immersion reset and a physical output by Sunday night.

You’ll come out the other side with a creative spark relit, and something tangible to show for it.

🗓️ Option 2: Four Weeks of Creative Calibration

This path is for those who prefer space to reflect and absorb between sessions. Think of it like creative circuit training, four focused weeks,  each with its own theme and momentum. No rush. Just rhythm.

🔹 Week 1: Reset & Reclaim

Lessons: 1–9

Time: 4 sessions × ~90 mins = ~6 hours

This week is about clearing the noise and reactivating your innate sense of wonder.

  • Go for a Creative Reset Walk (Lesson 4).
  • Challenge your assumptions in Curiosity vs. Worry and Stimulus Collisions.
  • Take the “10-Minute Proof” challenge to make one idea real.
  • Start playing with Voice AI. Not for efficiency. For feel.

🧠 Outcome: You’ll begin noticing how ideas show up when you slow down enough to listen.

🔹 Week 2: Patterns & Principles

Lessons: 9–16

Time: 4 sessions × ~90 mins = ~6 hours

Here you learn to shape and steer your wonderings into something more intentional.

  • Explore how AI amplifies what you bring.
  • Try the Shower Principle and Metaphor Mapping.
  • Begin sculpting your idea into an early form.
  • Capture your thinking aloud,  not just on paper.

🧠 Outcome: You’ll start to see which ideas are just sparks and which ones have fuel.

🔹 Week 3: Build & Breakthrough

Lessons: 17–23

Time: 4 sessions × ~90 mins = ~6 hours

Now we move from soft exploration to firm creation.

  • Embrace constraint. Set a timer. Do the 80-Minute Build Challenge.
  • Deal with friction. Resilience is part of the process.
  • Don’t just tweak, test. Make your ideas visible and messy.

🧠 Outcome: You’ll ship something. However small. But it will be yours.

🔹 Week 4: Synthesize & Stretch

Lessons: 24–30

Time: 4 sessions × ~90 mins = ~6 hours

This is where it all comes together, and launches outward.

  • Trace your journey from wondering → shaping → building.
  • Synthesize your insights into a creative practice that lasts.
  • Sketch your next creative project. It doesn’t need to be ambitious. Just real.
  • Reflect on what kind of human-AI partnership you want to cultivate.

🧠 Outcome: You’ll leave with a workflow that’s uniquely yours, and a next step already in motion.

💡 Total Time: ~24 hours

Best For: Learners who like to mix intensity with reflection. This approach leaves breathing room to practice between sessions,  experiment in the real world,  and let ideas compost between efforts.

🌅 Option 3: Daily Practice – 30 Days of Wonder

Maybe you work best with a rhythm. A light creative practice you slip into each morning, before inboxes,  meetings,  or the grind can take hold. This track is for people who want to build momentum through consistency,  not intensity.

✨ Your Morning Ritual

Every day,  carve out 30–45 minutes. Enough time to connect with yourself before you connect with the world.

Here’s what it looks like:

ActivityTime
Watch 1 short video~4 mins
Read the script if needed~5 mins
Reflect and jot notes~10 mins
Do a small creative exercise~15 mins
Go for a walk (2–3x per week)Optional ~30 mins

Some mornings, you’ll write. Some, you’ll speak aloud into your phone. Some, you’ll stare out the window and let the idea settle. That’s all valid.

This isn’t about productivity. It’s about presence.

🧠 Why It Works

  • You give your imagination a daily signal boost.
  • You build a backlog of ideas before breakfast.
  • You reduce pressure by trading “catch up” for show up.

The framework becomes part of your nervous system, not just another course you completed.

🕰️ Total Time Commitment:

30 days × ~40 mins = ~20 hours

Best For: People who want to blend this into their existing routine. Morning thinkers. Evening wanderers. Anyone ready to create from a place of calm instead of chaos.

Suggested Cue:

📅 Before email. ☕ After coffee. 💡 Before the day takes over.

🧭 Here’s What You’re Actually Doing

No matter which path you choose, weekend sprint, four-week flow, or daily rhythm, here’s what’s really going on under the hood:

ActivityApprox. TimeWhy it matters
🎥 Watching videos~2 hoursBut you’ll pause. Rewind. Reflect. This isn’t passive learning, it’s immersion.
📖 Reading scripts~2 hoursFor deeper understanding. Or when you need to hear it in your own voice.
📝 Taking notesOngoingThis becomes your second brain. Keep a notebook, digital or physical.
🧠 Doing exercises~4–6 hoursThe ECHO Test. Metaphor work. The 60-minute build. This is where ideas get muscle.
🚶 Going for walks~2–3 hoursNot optional. Not filler. This is where your subconscious joins the process.

🧮 Realistic Total: 10–15 hours

💪 Better Total: 20–25 hours (if you really engage)

🔁 The Truth About “Finishing”

Sure,  you can finish this in a weekend. Or over 30 mornings. Or four deep weekly sessions.

But the people who get the most out of this?

They don’t “finish” it.

They use it.

  • They revisit The Echo Test every few weeks.
  • They re-watch the 10-Minute Proof lesson when they’re stuck.
  • They turn the 80-minute build into a monthly ritual.
  • They protect their walk time like it’s a board meeting with their own brain.

This is less a course to complete than a creative operating system to return to.

🧠 So… What’s It Gonna Be?

FormatIdeal ForTotal Time
Option 1: Weekend Deep DiveAll in,  immersive,  finish fast~12 hours
Option 2: Four-Week IntegrationSpace to digest and reflect~24 hours
Option 3: Daily PracticeHabitual,  rhythmic,  bite-sized~20 hours

Pick one.

Put it in your calendar.

Treat it like the creative investment it is.

Because the world has enough people who “took a course.”

What it needs is people who changed how they create.

Let’s go.
