In this episode of Keep the Flow, I flip the script on curiosity and show how the right kind of "curiosity snacks" can fuel your creativity instead of draining your time. Inspired by Anne-Laure Le Cunff’s take on mindful exploration, I dive into how creative professionals—especially those who are neurodivergent—can balance focus and discovery. From tweaking your digital environment to hacking YouTube’s algorithm, I share practical ways to turn distractions into creative fuel.
