A focused start to the day

So much remains to be written about these days. A good amount of break time occurred within the daily writing experience at the start of the day. Maybe getting back into the daily habit of a little bit of blogging at the start of the day will be just the right recipe to increase writing productivity on a daily basis. I’m thinking about making sure that a little writing session occurs geared toward creating 500 words or more at the start of the day without a guiding topic. Dare I note this is a return to a more or less stream of consciousness focused writing effort. This type of morning writing is something that helps me kickstart the day and get focused. At one point, I had considered trying one of those daybreak routines where people read a few focused sentences on what they want to achieve. It’s sort of like a how to move forward day kick starter activity.

Generally, the writing process starts, and I lock into that activity until my attention gets pulled away for something else and that effectively ends the writing session. For those of you who know the joy of getting into the flow of writing it is sometimes very disappointing when that process is interrupted, and your attention gets pulled away. The very same thing can happen when I’m probably solving or writing code. That extreme laser focus that drives you to a singular purpose of creativity is fleeting and can be disrupted by even very basic things. When it’s gone it is not returning. That is why you have to respect those moments in the flow of creativity.
