I have a new Sunday ritual: 1 hour walk with nothing but a small pocket notebook and pen.
No phone
No music
No podcasts
No articles
No audiobooks
I let my mind run free and write down any ideas or insights.
A simple way to prime the mind for a creative, productive week ahead.

Importantly, I don’t have any “goals” for the walk.
I don’t set any intentions or topics to think about.
It’s sort of like an active meditation.

I find that the fresh air and physical separation from technology opens up my mind to more non-linear thinking.
Sometimes I come back with absolutely nothing written down in the notebook—but I always come back with a clear head to show for it.

The week has a way of getting away from you, so if you can establish some control over it by adopting something like this, it may lead to more creative, non-linear outcomes.
I use a Moleskine pocket notebook, which you can get on Amazon for <$20, but really anything will do.

Ok, with all of that in mind, I’m off for my walk.
Cheers, everyone. Happy Sunday!
