Morning routines are key to a sustainable, healthy and productive lifestyle. I am always looking for small optimizations to my routines and I was faced with the question:
Should you read the first thing in the morning or should you write?
For quite a long time, my morning routine contained one hour of reading time.Ā
This week I decided to challenge my approach as I was feeling that the ratio of the content I consume overĀ the content I create was getting out of balance. Therefore, I started writing first thing in the morning. I couldnāt be happier with the decision.
Here is my recommendation:
Take advantage of a fresh start in the day and start writing. Your mind is free of other peopleās thoughts and filled with your own, born from your subconscious or your imagination.
Read throughout the day or in the evening. Let all ideas that you collected brew overnight, and turn them into nuggets of wisdom the first thing the next day.
Do this every morning and not only your writing will get better, but so will your thinking.
What about you? What is your opinion? Do you prefer to read or write? Why so?Ā
