Performing a pre-work ritual helps me set the tone for my creative session. It's like flipping a switch in my brain to let it know, "Okay, it's time to create." My ritual doesn't have to be complicated, it can be as simple as tidying up my workspace, making a cup of coffee, or sketching random lines to loosen up.
By doing this consistently, I create a sense of routine that makes it easier to get started. It helps me put distractions behind me and focus on the work at hand. This little habit gets me in the zone and makes my creative time feel intentional and productive.
