Julia Cameron offers a daily practice called Morning Pages.

This practice is 3 pages of stream-of-consciousness journaling done first thing in the morning.

Here are 5 benefits you'll get from adopting this practice: 🧵👇

1. Increased awareness

It can be hard to focus when small things are tugging on your attention.

Sometimes, we aren't even aware of the things calling us.

Morning Pages can help bring those things into our awareness.

Once we're aware, we regain our power to react.
2. Processing of emotions

When we don't process our emotions, they tend to stick around and increase in intensity.

These emotions can drive us to do unhelpful things.

With Morning Pages, we can start to process those emotions.

We can sit with them and feel them through.
3. Ideas worth exploring

We come up with amazing ideas when we spend time with our thoughts.

Sometimes those thoughts get forgotten before we write them down or explore them.

Morning Pages allows us to capture them.

Then we can decide whether to dive back in later.
4. Things to do

We may remember incomplete tasks we need to do.

Writing them down not only prevents us from forgetting them.

It also frees us from constant mental reminders.

It's written down now, so we know we can keep track of it.

Morning Pages can help with this freedom.
5. Clear one's mind

It can be tremendously freeing to write everything down that's on our minds.

When we give our experience the attention it demands, we allow ourselves to navigate the rest of our day unhindered by those thoughts.

Morning Pages can grant it that attention.

I have a love-hate relationship with podcasts.

I love the variety and the convenience.

I struggle with taking notes from them still. (I started experimenting with @snipd_app a few days ago 🤞)

Here are 7 of the podcasts I've been enjoying lately: 🧵👇

@snipd_app 1. The Danny Miranda Podcast

This one is a very recent addition to my feed.

So far, I've been enjoying the variety of guests and the casual but deep conversations @heydannymiranda has with them.

@snipd_app @heydannymiranda 2. Hidden Brain

This has been a favourite of mine for years.

@HiddenBrain is very consistent with the quality of the episodes they produce.

It's always great to learn about the interesting and unexpected ways our brains work.

I'm often juggling multiple projects at a time.

It feels natural between work, friends, classes, hobbies, etc.

But sometimes, working on too many things at once can slow us down.

Here are 4 benefits to limiting your work-in-progress: 🧵👇

1. Improved focus

When you limit your work in progress, you can focus.

You can have increased access to flow.

You can allocate all your cognitive resources to one goal.

Plus, it just feels good to focus.

Having too many things on the go can leave us feeling scattered.
2. Less context switching

It produces waste each time you context switch.

You have to load a different project into your working memory...

...and then again once you switch back.

Every switch takes time and energy, which is a tax on your productivity.
