The mini-adventure mindset is useful for starting an activity and viewing it as a side project to explore an interest that sounds fun. It is similar to comfort work described by Austin Kleon: doing something for yourself because it is comforting yet challenging, which allows you to figure out what you do and don't like. I am exploring digital illustrations through Affinity Designer, having fun learning how to draw digitally, and decided to share the results as stickers on Redbubble. It is amazing.
