Episode 147: The Daily Habit of the Most Successful Writers

Send us Fan MailThe most successful writers have a strict morning routine that is integral to their success. They wake up and immediately set out for a walk, take time to read and write and observe silence to prepare for writing. It’s important to stay consistent with your daily habit if you want to have your business recognized.A morning routine is not a cookie-cutter type of thing. I’ve learned that over the many years of having a freelance business and from the seasons of life that I have gone through. I noticed in all successful writers, business owners, and people in this remote space, wake up and do something special every single day. They go out for a walk, take time to read, meditate, they write a journal and it’s important that they stay consistent with it because that is how their business grows.Let me share what I’ve done but let me show you what I’ve done in the past and then what I do now.What does a morning routine consist of for successful writers?Morning routines are heard of and always been a successful freelancer. But your morning routine should work for you. For now, my morning routine consists of getting up early and working 1 to 2 hours before my family get up. After they get up I do my household chores get the kids ready for school and enjoy your quiet morning with them. After they go to school I stick in my gym time and then I come home and work until they get home from school. My morning routine always consists of a cup of coffee and good hydration. I always have to have water by my desk so I stay hydrated throughout the day. But I always try to keep in my morning routine some sort of exercise quality good foods and concentration I’m at work when I need to concentrate on work and country in my family when I need to concentrate on my family.The importance of consistency in your writing and business habitsConsistency is important especially when you attend to wake up early. You also have to find out what is your most productive time of day. Consistency is key though. It’s easy to sleep in, it’s easy not to work out, it’s easy to work when I want to. But none of this will keep you growing.Now, mind you, I’ve already been up for probably six hours instead still not starving to death. Sometimes if I feel a little foggy, I will eat. I sometimes put on music. I may put on some focus music just to help myself stay in the moment and set a timer for a Pomodoro method, which I talked about in other episodes. How to stay consistent with your daily habit, even when you’re traveling or on vacationThis is one of the hardest things to do because many times for more traveling for up late. It’s hard for me to wake up early if I’m up late the night before. In those times, I do prioritize my sleep. The best thing I can tell you for this is to get back on track ASAP when we go to Florida for that week, I get up early every day except on the weekends when we’re out later. But try to stick to your schedule as much as you possibly can to be your best.Welcome to the Savvy Scribe Podcast, I'm so glad you're here!
