About

This is a shorter afternoon session, 1pm to 5pm.

Why the early finish? We’re hosting a Blood on the Clocktower game night the same evening, starting at 5:30pm. Blood on the Clocktower is a social deduction game, similar to Mafia or Werewolf. Get a solid afternoon of deep work in, then stick around to play.

The game night is a separate event, so grab a spot for that one too if you’d like to join.

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.

FAQ

We wrap at 5pm because we’re running a Blood on the Clocktower game night at 5:30 that evening. Focused work in the afternoon, games after.
Not at all. The game night is a separate event. Come for the work, the games, or both.
Grab a spot for the Blood on the Clocktower event too. It’s listed separately so we know who’s playing.
No, this is an afternoon session from 1pm. Come having eaten and ready to focus.
Yes, just a shorter run: a welcome, two deep work blocks, and a quick wrap to finish the afternoon.
