Hey! It’s another “Routine” post! This routine is for when I get home early from work and want to get some writing done! Some times its hard for me to maintain focus in the evening because the temptation to distract myself by scrolling through my phone is a lot stronger at night buuuut this routine tends to help me stay on track. So here it is!
7:00pm – Drink water
Again, hydration helps clear your head.
7:30pm – Wash your face
Sometimes makeup makes my eyes feel “tired-er” so I like to wash my face and remove my makeup before getting started.
8:00pm – Get comfy and in your pajamas
Matching pajama sets are my Achille’s heel so I super enjoy this step.
8:15 pm – Unplug
Get rid of those distractions! Turn your phone off or put it in a different room!
8:30pm – Set up your space
Turn on as many lights as you think you need, get out any writing supplies as you think you need for note making. Basically just prepare your space in a way that will aid your focus!
8:35-9:30 or 10pm – Write for a half hour at least
10:00pm – Take a break for a light midnight snack
Or 10 ‘o clock snack. Just something light because you don’t want to have any trouble sleeping. I recommend fruit or a snack bar. I also recommend getting a warm drink during this break. It adds to the cozy.
10:00-10:30 or 11pm – Write some more
You’ve got this!
11:00pm – Call it a night!
Hopefully at this point you have around 1,000 words, but even if you don’t you’ve worked for a long while. Reward yourself and sleep well!
