We start with lunch together, move through focused work blocks in the afternoon, and finish with a relaxed hangout and a drink for anyone who wants one.

About

A full day of focused work at Blood Brothers Brewing on Geary Ave, a renovated old horse stable in the arts district.

We open with lunch, settle into a few deep work blocks, and finish with a relaxed hangout for anyone who wants to stay for a pint.

Not drinking? No problem. They have alcohol free beers and plenty of other options, so there’s something for everyone. The kitchen does great food too, including a vegan black bean burger.

Noon to 6pm. Come for the work, stay for the company.

The structure really helped me stay focused and be very productive. The built in check-ins make it feel sustainable. It's a mix of work and socializing that I don't always find on my own.

The ritual

The room hears you,
and the work shifts.

Pre-block

Out loud: what you're about to do.

Post-block

Out loud: how it went.

That's the ritual. Two questions, asked out loud, with other people in the room. It's how the work gets real.

I started Creative Blocks because too much meaningful work gets postponed when you’re doing it alone. Some of my best work happened around people doing work they cared about, and that kind of focus is contagious.

Creative Blocks is my attempt at creating more rooms like that.
