As much as I love what I do, I’m the first one to admit that writing can be hard! Sometimes, all you want to do is binge shows and eat garbage food. On the days when I am less than fully motivated to hit the laptop and get some words down, I have a few rituals and routines that I follow to get me in the mood to write.
After all, sitting down to write is almost like a date with myself. A very labor inducing date but a date nonetheless.
No matter what I try, I am simply not a morning person. I watch YouTube videos about people who can wake up at 5am to make time for meditation and superfood smoothies and I am baffled by their commitment. I probably wouldn’t be able to wake up that early if my house was on fire.
With that in mind, I am always looking for a way to make my morning routine fast and easy but also special enough that I feel like I have a reason to wake up. Being an author, I find I need to get up on the right foot if I’m going to be productive during the day. There is nothing worse than a bad morning that ruins your creativity for the day!
