- Morning pages are best written in the morning, but for some people this isn't easy! I'll discuss exactly when to write morning pages, and what the difference may be if you write your "morning pages" at other times of day.

I recall reading years ago,from Julia Cameron that you "shouldn't" go back and read what was written previously. I found it to be helpful in writing it and letting it go.......
That is what she says. I don't go back and read, unless it feels useful for my work, for example. I've got a video on something like this planned, so do subscribe if you haven't already: lots more to come! 👍
Recently started morning pages. After a little trial and error I found the best time for me is immediately on waking.
I've been shocked at the impact it has had.
Most of what I write makes little sense.
That said I've had some real insights and great ideas appear on the page that I don't believe I would of had if it wasn't for morning pages.
I've also noticed my headspace has been clearer during the day.
It's been a game changer 🙂
That's exactly what I found too! Keep it up... 👍
I‘m doing Morning pages only since ten days. Since I have a dog, for which I have to prepare medicine first thing in the morning, I start writing ca. 10 minutes after waking up. I have no problem filling 3-4 DIN A 4 pages with a small handwriting. I guess I am sort of a chatterbox. I have had some interesting thoughts by now and although I will throw away the book with my Morning pages once it is full, I will keep the most interesting thoughts and insights in a commonplace book with all kind of things worth to remember. I really am glad that I learned of this Morning pages and am currently reading J. Camerons „It is never too late to begin again.“
Thank you for your videos here on TH-cam - I enjoy them tremendously!

i grab a cup of coffee then run back to my bed and do them it is really good to do them in a messy environment too, i found that doing them after making my bad takes the rawness and makes me focus on chores of the day in my writing
Good call!
I've been giving Morning Pages a go this week. It's quite amazing how easily the words flow at that time in the morning, 0600. It's a gentle start to the day.
Absolutely. Keep it up!
That is so helpful, thank you for answering my question! I am doing this right after waking up now, and it does feel different
Thanks for inspiring the video! 🙏 I’m doing mine right after waking up now too. It is very different - and better, I think. Let me know how you get on!
I'm convinced! Tonight I will put my special cold coffee in a covered thermal cup by my bed with a journal and pen so I can be in that magical headspace.
It's working for me! Let me know how you get on! I've put my notebook and pen by the bed too. (Special cold coffee tho... 🤔)
Great stuff Martin. We were out at the beach and an ice cream parlour this morning. I was scribbling in the Passport notebook.
I hope it gets you where you want to go!
@@sketchley Few note that I may use in my novel
@@sketchley I have ordered the Artist Way, and my suggestions have been filled with channels for it. Makes interesting watching and I can't wait for it to arrive.
Writing for well-being! I love it! ❤️ Great title! 👍 Very nice video Martin. Have a good day. 😉
Thank you! 😃
Excellent insights

I've been doing Morning Pages for about three years and almost never miss a day. It's about the most consistent thing I do, largely I think, because I do it as soon as after waking as possible. (About as long as it take to make a cup of herbal tea.) I use a $1 notebook and cheap pen - otherwise the volume of writing could get expensive. I rarely go back and read my pages, but I keep them just in case. I've started making a mark in the margin if I think there's anything I might want to look at some day, but most of it is just routine stuff that likely has no value.
I'm pretty much the same. Thanks for taking the time to comment! So subscribe if you haven't already: lots more to come!
I've been doing mine after meditation and Yoga, but now am wondering if I'd do better in getting out of bed and starting writing immediately...
It's worth a try to see if the process feels different. I'm definitely going back to doing mine first thing.
What have you learned from morning pages? Let me know below! ⬇👍 If you appreciate this video, you can support my work with Superthanks, above ⬆🙏 And don't forget to check out the Emporium of Creativity! www.craft.do/s/te9ZEiQQSCgOBI
Lol, finished within 45 minutes of waking 😂 it took me over an hour when I tried. I wrote on letter sized paper. I thought the recommendation was to write on A4 paper?
When I was introduced to it the person was using A5; lots of people use A5. Some people use A4 as I do at the moment, but I'll go back to B5. I'll make a video about this...
And the question is.. how to do it married…😮 when your wife is like a bullet train, going from 0 to 100 at the first second… 🤦🏻♂️😬
Interesting comment. I've been married for over 30 years... if you'd like me to cover this, feel free to email me. Address in the description.
