A dedicated morning writing ritual to cultivate clarity, creativity, and reflective thinking as part of a daily practice.
My morning writing practice
A morning writing practice is a cornerstone habit for knowledge workers and creative thinkers. By writing first thing, before the noise of the day sets in, you tap into a clearer, more reflective state of mind. This practice can take many forms — freewriting, journaling, drafting ideas, or working through problems on paper.
The key principles:
- Consistency over quantity — show up daily, even if briefly
- Low pressure — not every session produces gems; the practice itself is the point
- Capture and release — get thoughts out of your head and onto the page
- Feed the garden — morning writing often seeds ideas that grow into Daily working log entries or evergreen notes
