Love these suggestions! What time do you go to bed in order to rise at 4 AM?

Thanks, Jean! I typically go to bed around 10/10:30 p.m. (I wish I could go to bed earlier!)

Man, it's not very often I come across another fan of the Commonplace book! Mine is a bit different than yours, as I use the traditional John Locke format, but I do love the way it helps me be intentional and a wee bit organized :)

I don't come across many fans of the Commonplace book either! Definitely a great resource!

These are great tips. I also keep a commonplace book, but I do mine digitally! I’ve attempted to form a morning writing habit for years without much success so I have a ton of respect for those who can do it! Maybe I’ll give it another shot!

Thanks, Kim!

Yes, worth another shot! It's hard to start an early-morning routine, but having a deadline-driven project helps! Forces you to work toward something and make the time for it.

Love that you keep a commonplace book too!
