Do less of everything. And more of it. I started writing morning pages about seven months ago. Morning pages are a practice evangelized by Julia Cameron in The Artist's Way in which one writes continuously in pen on a notepad for about three pages. I do this while waiting for my morning coffee to brew. The practice now takes about ten minutes. When I shared this with another practitioner who struggled to keep up the habit, she was astounded. How could I write so fast? I shared my secret: my notepad is half-size. In contrast, she wrote on a legal pad. She was writing over twice as many words per page as I was.
