I didn’t expect a simple notebook and a pen to become one of the most powerful tools I use. But **morning pages** — writing three longhand pages first thing in the morning — completely rewired the way I think.

Here’s how.

***

**Before I started**, my mind was a noisy, tangled place. I’d wake up thinking about tasks, worries, ideas, and half-finished thoughts. And I’d carry that chaos with me into the day.

Then I began writing morning pages. No structure, no expectations. Just a quiet, private space to dump every thought that crossed my mind.

***

**What surprised me:**

🧠 I became more honest with myself. Things I didn’t even realize were bothering me started to appear on the page.

📌 I noticed patterns — fears I was repeating, decisions I kept postponing, ideas that kept resurfacing.

🛠️ I started solving problems before breakfast — not by force, but because writing gave my brain room to breathe.

Now, it’s not just a habit. It’s a tool for clarity, creativity, and decision-making. I don’t use it to be productive — I use it to think better.

If you’ve never tried it, here’s how to start:

*   Pen + paper (no typing!)

*   First thing in the morning

*   Three pages, stream-of-consciousness

*   No rules, no judgment — just write

***

**One tool. Fifteen minutes a day. A whole new level of clarity.**
