Do You Even Post, Bro?
My Morning Writing Routine
I get it, you’re trying to do it all. I am too. It’s hard to reach your writing target AND balance your fitness goals… boohoo. Nonsense! I’ve combined them both, so no more excuses! Try my morning ritual below, if you can:
4:00 Wake up. Check my Medium stats. Weak!
4:20 Brush teeth with black coffee. Throw laptop in gym bag.
5:00 Arrive at gym. Connect laptop to power source. Get yelled at by person using unplugged treadmill.
5:10 Spend hour in bathroom using hairdryer power socket instead. No one can use facility until I’m all charged up. Other toilet out of order.
6:10 Change playlist for entire gym from “Club Anthems” to “Soothing.”
6:15 Warm up with some light writing exercises, finger stretches and low-impact typing.
6:30 Jog memory.
6:45 Flex creative muscles in front of mirror. Laugh at those not using proper form. Everyone stays clear.
7:00 Hit the bench, laptop first. Do 6 presses, then release space bar.
7:05 Keep pushing till full stop. Add a few line breaks. Repeat till failure.
7:30 Move to writer’s block. Grunt loudly after each rep. Keep chin-up.
8:00 Stare at motivational quote on wall. Commit to paper. Don’t throw in the towel!
8:10 Hurry the pace. High word count. Get rid of dead weight.
8:30 Jump back and forth, but not between topics. Maintain grip. Check for errors.
9:00 Open strong. Conclude with powerful stance.
9:25 Drop down and hit Publish.
9:30 Rest. Hydrate. Monitor performance… not strong enough!
10:00 Time to push-up dem stats. Claps in between. Follow the pros and study technique. Heavy lifting.
10:30 Work on building core… audience. Quick response time. Record PB.
11:00 Cool down. Exit gym. Raise bar for next time.
There you have it. My daily writing schedule. I hope you got something out of it. Feel free to try it at home (with the right equipment) or at your local gym.
And remember… procrastination is not an option!
