Writing early in the morning immediately after waking is a powerful practice. It is a great way to capture those early morning inspirational ideas and thoughts which often hit, like no other time in the day. If you are feeling fairly negative and need to get into the Zone, then find a comfortable place and stop thinking Take some time out and spend it doing something you love. That might be spending time with family, reading, exercising, or just watching a good old movie Listen to music. A state which completely minimises inspiration is when you are cluttered or overwhelmed, whether with things to do, or physical disorder around you. To keep clear and allow the inspiration to flow, take a good inventory of your things to do list, and delete anything less than essential. You must be ruthless.
