    Week 01: Showing Up, Creating and Finding Flow

    3 min read

    Welcome to the first issue of the oneweek.dev Weekly Summary; a small reflection on everything built, learned, and discovered throughout the week.

    This series is meant to capture the rhythm of indie making: the little wins, the slow progress, and the creative sparks that appear along the way.

    This week was a mix of deep work and slow moments, building tools, refining ideas, and finding new motivation in unexpected places.

    It reminded me that consistency doesn’t mean rushing. It’s about keeping the momentum alive, even in small steps.
