Structure to create maximum creativity.

What is yours?

While getting up at 4 AM every morning might sound exhausting, I spend the first 90 minutes of my day outdoors, no matter the weather, doing something hard and physical.

A 35-year practice, 365 days of the year.

By 7 AM I have exercise in the bank, outdoor time, usually a sunrise witnessed, a blog written, urgent emails responded to, and coffee with my love. 

The structure of my morning sets me up for the day. No matter what happens, I have this in my self-care bank account. 

Not doing this morning routine and I feel sluggish, off-kilter, out of flow.

At the other end of the day, I ensure I go to bed early enough to get a good 8-hour sleep after a light but nutritious meal.

Between the morning and the evening routines a million things can happen, often unstructured. 

But the framework and the constancy of its application give me the necessary structure to be maximally creative.

What is your creativity structure?
