Cozy quiet time to break through writer's block
In today's Analog Tools meetup I mentioned a daily "cozy quiet time" practice that helped me break through a significant writer's block several years ago.
I misremembered some timing details when I relayed them to the group, but the components are the same:
- Choose a cozy part of your living space to curl up in with your journal, a pen, your phone, and a blanket.
- Curl up and set the Insight Timer app to a 10-minute meditation timer with a bell set for the 3-minute mark.
- Sit in quiet, gentle witnessing for the first three minutes.
- When the first bell rings, start to journal.
- When the final bell rings, finish up your sentence and wrap it up.
