I love this series. You are totally right, that gnawing feeling that I get over the things I really need to get done gives me really high anxiety. I crinnnnge at my "daunting tasks". My life is so busy lately, and I REALLY needed to hear this, because I have been putting off some majorly important tasks, because they simply give me anxiety. I have a list of them written down...and hidden. I know they're there, but out of sight, out of mind right? They're not writing related tasks, just life and business. But your habits and tips for tackling them is much needed. Thanks for sharing.
I always wondered why I couldn't write that much at night. Now I understand why all other writers write first thing in the morning. Thank you!
It's always a sad time when her videos end! She is such an inspiration and I can't wait to start implementing this fantastic habit! I have succesfully started using her previous one and it's amazing!
Hmm. I’m always chasing the children around first thing, but I wonder if I could do something in the mornings, even if just sorting my bullet journal.
Kristen, I talk to my counseling clients about this and while “creative energy” sounds much more professional, we talk about “eating the crust first”. Most kids don’t like the crust but have to clean their plates so we talk about “eating” the least favorite things first and then you can really enjoy the things you actually want. :)
And as with everything, now I have to put into practice those things that I recommend! It just makes sense to use your energy on the most dreaded tasks because if you leave it to the end it won’t get done!
Thanks again for another great video!
This video spoke to me so much! I finished my first draft ages ago, but can't seem to find the will to edit it... This "creative fuel" idea and doing it it the morning while I still have energy is great. I will definitely try to do it!
The part about doing your most important tasks in the morning really resonated with me, and it’s one of the secrets to my success. Love your videos and glad that your hiatus was productive for you!
Very helpful, thank you! How do you deal with external distractions/demands in your day and how do you keep them from derailing your planned day?
This was great, thank you! Will definitely try these out
Thank you sooooo much for this. I’ve been trying to get my life together between writing and college and everything else. This is so helpful and I will definitely be giving it a try 🤗
I work rotating shifts. What would you recommend for me as far as cognitive fuel?
I decided to give NanoWrimo a try again, after a horrible unprepared experience that left me not writing for almost a year. I started by getting up at 6 am (as our beloved Kristen Martin says - Do stuff in the morning for a productive day!), I prepared a bullet journal (as per advice from my favourite vlogster Kristen again) and guess what. Day 1: not even tired in the morning, no crash during the day and I wrote more words than my goal was! :) We've got this, guys! (and thanks so much Kristen, you're an absolute gem!)
I've just started writing a book on habits, this has really helped thanks!!
Thanks for all your videos! Going to try to implement a schedule of some sort, but without a 9-5 work schedule it’s going to be a challenge! Here’s to hoping it will work.
I totally need to make my mornings more productive! I hate getting up early and night is when I'm the most creative but I totally agree that editing and proofreading are morning tasks, tired eyes always fail to catch misspelled words :/
Thanks again for this video Kristen, I'm loving your new videos :)
this tip is actually from the book eat that frog
Very good dear sister!
Thank you, Kristen! I am very much a night writer but finishing up the edits and formatting of my poetry collection is like pulling teeth for me. This was super helpful & eye opening♥️🦋
Such a great tip!
I really want to implement this habit and I will try to do this, but not everyday. With my internship which is either in the morning from 7-12 or evening 19-23, waking up earlier than I usually do sounds horrible XD So I will probably twist this a bit so it can fit my schedule and look at the things I have to do on a day and place the ones which use the most brainpower first.
I've been wanting to get up earlier in order to work out or write for the longest time! Forming that habit is tricky, but I'm sure I'll be in love with that schedule once I've nailed it down :)
Yasss! I am a HUGE advocate of getting stuff done in the morning! It’s the only way I ever make progress on my book anymore.
Perfect timing... Getting in the nano routine right now!
Good luck!
I really need to cut out social media in the mornings, lol. Great video, Kristen!
Amazing tips, thank you for sharing your experience it is really helpful. Have a blessed day and a magnificent time at the retreat and Japan!
Yes, this is definitely a habit I will be implementing! I've already written it down on my post-it note on my desk with all your other advice that I use. Ha ha.
I really struggle with mornings- my brain takes a while to switch on. So I've taken to a similar (but very different) approach. My mornings are for slowly waking up, and getting in a positive head space. As the day progresses and I am more awake, I move onto the "big" thing. As soon as I am "awake" I make sure to work on the biggest/hardest thing first, to make the most of my cognitive/creative energy, before moving on to the "easy" stuff. It is so much easier to tackle your to do list when you're not "dreading" that ONE thing.
Such great advice! Thank you :-). I'm not really a morning person, however I hate wasting the day and I agree it's better to get the more taxing jobs done first as not only do they get done, you feel so productive! If you get a chance to read this, I'd like to ask you how you you managed your day job tasks along with your writing. I've seen your video on your day to day organisation with your day job, but in terms of energy that your day job takes up, how did you manage to get a balance? Mine is very demanding and I find it hard to move onto something more time consuming (though much more interesting!) like my writing afterwards. I know I need to find a way somehow (& the aim is to leave the job eventually), but any tips would be gratefully received! Thanks. X
Your videos are so inspiring, Kristen! Love these tips. Thanks for sharing!
Yes to all of this! I have been doing this for forever - it totally works. I love this series, the insight into your process and the differences/similarities between your process and mine are great - thank you x
I really need to get into a morning routine that involves me getting out of bed before noon. I think if I can do one hour of reading and one hour of writing first thing in the morning I will feel better about taking the evenings off once I'm too tired to think. Especially with my new online college course starting next Tuesday, I really need to be more productive.
Can't wait to see photos/videos from your travels. Have a great trip!
Your advice is not only helping me organize my writing life but also my school work as well!
Thanks for all of the great tips! This was a fantastic list!
Thank you for the great advice. Am definitely going to switch to morning writing.
I am LOVING this series, I can't wait for the next one
Love this thank you this is exactly what I needed. I'm definitely going to have to switch to day writing
creative fuel is my new favorite term :)
I will def be trying this out! Thanks Kristen!
2ed rule is so true. Ill watch a new movie that’ll get me so creative and if i dont go home and write that creative boost is wasted on whatever
I used to get up early to write but it's been hard since my aunt moved into a smaller house (I'm her live-in babysitter during the week)
I sleep in the same room as the kids so it's hard to get up at 5am since I can't set an alarm anymore. I really like waking up early to write, though I'm more of a night writer too!
Would an alarm that vibrates under your pillow work? I've never tried one, but I have heard of at least one.
This was so helpful! I"ll be sure use these and episode 1 too.
Always so helpful! Thank you
