An open file is something that has your attention, whether an idea, a direction, a piece of work, a project, a possibility.

It’s not urgent, but it’s there: visiting, lingering, swirling, returning. There’s notes potentially, notions. It won’t leave you alone.

Open File is for when you’re not exactly sure what to do with it, but you’re ready to do something with it.


It’s less “figure it out” and more “work with it” — deliberately, curiously, practically, over 40 days.

It’s for independents who have something pulling at them and are tired of circling it, sitting on it, thinking about it, strategizing — and then not doing anything with it.

You’re ready to do something with it.

Open File is for independents who want a way forward. No to overthinking, yes to experimenting — but structured. Not winging it! And not alone, because that’s likely part of the problem.

We run a 40-day experiment together.


We clarify what has your attention & why, shaping it so it’s not abstract or too big.


We make a decision about how to work with it now. (Not later.)


And we give it structure, defining the specifics of what you’ll do.

Then you run it: 40 days of doing things, seeing what happens, gathering new information.

Obviously this is not that easy. “Just do it!” Ok! So we stay close throughout.

Receive insights & tools along with a personal email exchange weekly with someone who knows how easy it is to open a file — and how hard it can be to actually do something with it.

Over 40 days you:

• Feel momentum. Something is actually happening.

• Can just do the work — which is surprisingly relaxing. You don’t need to know where it’s all going.

• Have more energy because it’s no longer leaking into overthinking, restarting, looping, etc.

• Gather new information instead of thinking about hypotheticals.

• Move past the point where work usually gets gummed up or abandoned.

• Know what to do next. If it’s not for you, you drop it. You’re no longer thinking about it. And if it is something, you get to develop it further.

Open File includes:

• A 60-minute call to define & structure your 40-day experiment.


• Weekly insights & tools to help you stay with it, tailored to where you are in the process.


• A personal weekly email exchange with me to respond to what’s coming up and calibrate as needed.


At the end of 40 days, you’ll have new information and you’ll know what to do next.
