WWD contributing writer Leo Babauta suggests that writers create a morning writing ritual because it’s a peaceful time and it ensures you get it done. That reminds me of creativity maven Julia Cameron’s morning pages, uncensored writing that she recommends you do each morning.

I would add the web browser, too, to that list of things to leave closed before 10 AM. This, especially, after having Macworld speculation all morning. ;-) Thanks for the tip.
