Implement your creative craft in your morning routine. Combine multiple of your interests into that one craft. Use it as a portal of release. You will head into the rest of your day with that nice mental "squeeze" of expending yourself creatively and in passion - the best feeling of fatigue to have.

I think it's paramount, especially if you have a 9-5 that suppresses your creativity, to have a craft where you get to express that creativity in your most authentic self. Whether it's writing, composing, dancing, filming, speaking, etc. - you need to express yourself and cultivate that skill in the morning before you expend all of your energy at work or school because it's difficult doing so afterward.

​

For me, I started by just composing but felt myself burning out from it. So I layered poetry (another hobby) on top of it which helps alleviate that burnout by giving me another avenue to tackle the craft and better express myself. I am not always inspired, but make sure to work at it every day. Consistency is key.

​

After having done this now for about 8 months, I have become more productive in other areas of my life. I think this is because working on my craft every day in the morning has built self-discipline, but also that creative juice just flows into momentum when I tackle the rest of the day. Going to the gym, eating healthier, sleeping on time, focused at work, etc. has all benefited from the cultivation of tackling my craft in the morning, every single day.
