It's funny how the simple act of writing down your priorities helps crystallise them in your brain. Brings them out of the cycle and onto the line where they linger in plain view.
Writing morning pages is the habit of scrawling three pages of ANY words in a notebook first thing in the morning. It sounds frivolous. Or it might sound difficult. However the results speak clearly for themselves and can only be appreciated by getting up, putting on the kettle and streaming three full pages of your thoughts directly onto a fresh white page.
