Creative 75 Hard Explained, a TikTok Trend
Ever feel like you’ve got big ideas but zero follow-through? Enter the Creative 75 Hard Challenge, a bold commitment to finally getting out of your own way and making stuff every single day for 75 days straight. Yes, I found this idea on TikTok.
That’s right. No skipping and no “I’ll do double tomorrow.” Just daily action.
So what is Creative 75 Hard?
It’s the creative world’s answer to the original 75 Hard challenge. But instead of chugging water and lifting weights, you’re flexing your creative muscles. Writing. Filming. Drawing. Designing. Making something every single day.
There’s no official rulebook. You make your own rules, but once you do, they’re non-negotiable. Like a pinky promise with your future self.
Example rules to build your own challenge:
Create something every day. Doesn’t have to be fancy. Just make it.
Post it somewhere. Instagram, TikTok, your blog, your fridge. Whatever.
Spend 15 minutes reading or watching something that fuels you.
Move your body. Because a creative brain likes a little circulation.
Limit doomscrolling. You know it’s a trap.
You get to decide the details. The important part? You stick to it for 75 days in a row. Miss a day? Yep. You start over. Brutal, but fair.
Why bother?
Because waiting around for “inspiration” is a trap. It’s a lie your brain tells you when Netflix sounds better than opening a blank page.
Here’s what happens when you commit to showing up daily:
You get consistent. You build momentum. You stop overthinking. You make stuff even when you’re tired. You trust yourself more. You start acting like the creative pro you want to be.
By day 75, you’ve got a body of work and a stronger creative engine running under the hood.
Who should do this?
Artists who keep saying “I just need to make more time for this”
Content creators trying to grow without burning out
Business owners who want more visibility and a stronger creative habit
Anyone with talent collecting dust
Pro tips before you dive in
Start simple. Like, really simple. This is not the time to plan a full rebrand or a ten-part YouTube series. Pick something you can realistically do every day. Track your wins. Tell a friend. Brag about it online. You’ve got this.
Creative 75 Hard is a challenge. That’s the whole point. But it’s also wildly satisfying. By the end, you’ll be making better stuff, faster. You’ll be thinking less and doing more. You’ll stop waiting for the “right time” and just start.
And honestly? That’s where the magic happens.
