Ali Edwards invited us to capture one of our routines through photos and words and then create a layout about it.
Twyla Tharp insists on having a sort of warm-up routine that signals our creative side that it’s time to move.
After reading Tharp’s book I revamped my morning schedule to take advantage of my peak creating hours and the things that seem to set me in creative flow.
Journaling:
My Creative Habit.
My Routine.
My Signal to Mrs. Right-Brain that
it is time to BOOGIE.
My Invitation the the Muse that
she may Come Out and PLAY.
The SCHEDULE that makes it work:
5:15 a.m. Wake. Eat 1/3 of my breakfast (complex carb).
5:50 Exercise. Read while I’m walking. Meditate while running.
7:00 Shower.
7:30-9:00 Get the kids to their schools.
9:00 Coffee. Make my coffee or tea. Prepare the protein and fruit part of my breakfast.
**And now I’m IN THE ZONE. The exercise wakes up my senses. The coffee signals that it’s time to start.
9:10 Sit down at my table and PLAY!
Mondays, Wednesdays, and most Fridays are my devoted scrapbooking days.
