Morning Pages
The simplest way to clear out the back room of your mind.
The practice involves writing three pages of stream-of-consciousness every morning without filtering. The goal is flow, not quality. Not to write well, but just to write. With this habit, the mind clarifies over time, making space for creative thought.
Julia Cameron, The Artist's Way (1992)
Action
