My favorite way to start the day, too. But not at 2 a.m. lol. I glanced at the sub stack url and read your nam as “Adaming”. I think that’s what I’ll call the habits I pick up from reading your notes. As in, “don’t bother me right now, I’m Adaming.” (Definition: working diligently on my career advancement.) 😁
I'm not quite sure how to go about it, Adam, but I'd love to have a default routine regardless of what my tasks are - my work/leisure life tends to be flexible and spontaneous, which is why I find it difficult to have a single system. Reckon I need a flow chart....! 🤣
Orientation is an important theme for me. I call myself a 'disorient' (my own term) in that I get so easily (geographically) lost, but it's not only in the physical, real-life world that I need to orientate myself. I feel direction is necessary in the more abstract world, too, in terms of identify a task-accomplishment trajectories, setting out plans for the future (not just distant, but the next hour, kind of thing), as well as that big question at the start of every day that is generally along the lines of 'what-the-heck-am-I-supposed-to-be-doing?'
I'm a planner, and I'm really good at that planning. I mean, I get through my tasks. However, I'm am generally not on top of the HOW and the WHY aspects of my life, and I think once I orientate myself to get those sorted I'll be in a better position to focus more consistently.
Gosh, you've really made me think about this - I'm very grateful! 😃

Hah :)
Some really interesting points here, Adam - thank you. Every day is different for me, but I'd love to develop a little more focus and orientation.
How are you thinking about doing that? I love how you use the word orientation here

Prep + pregaming before writing = how we roll
I love reading about writing and find it interesting, but I am odd in that way. What do you find interesting?
