Simple Pre-Work Routines for Creative Projects
Quick answer: A repeatable pre-work sequence reduces decision friction and helps you start creative work without waiting for inspiration.
Prepare the workspace
Open the correct document, remove unrelated materials and write the first concrete action before beginning your audio or timer.
Use a short transition
A 10-minute listening, breathing or journaling routine can mark the transition from general activity to focused creation.
End with action
Finish the routine by working immediately on the pre-selected task. Avoid turning preparation into procrastination.
