Why I Write Every Weekday (and You Should Too)
The 8:30 Flow: How I Prime My Day to Create
Every weekday at 8:30 AM, I walk out to my garden office, cue up a playlist, and do a 30-minute HIIT circuit with dumbbells. No excuses. No missed days.
Then I write.
Just 30 minutes.
That’s the deal I made with myself: move, then make something.
Some mornings I want to skip both. But the ritual wins.
Because I've learned—when you move your body, you move your mind. And when you write every day, you move your life.
Fitness for Your Writing Life
Think of your writing habit like fitness.
You don’t get abs from one crunch. You get them from showing up.
Same with your writing voice. Same with your audience.
Every article you write is a rep.
Every newsletter is a set.
And every weekday you show up builds the muscle memory of a creator who follows through.
But here’s the kicker: no one’s making you do it.
There’s no boss breathing down your neck.
Just you—versus the resistance.
What Weekday Writing Teaches You
Here’s what I’ve learned from weekday writing:
Inspiration isn’t a lightning bolt—it’s a schedule.
Momentum builds faster when the gaps disappear.
Clarity comes when you commit to the reps, not the results.
And most importantly?
You don’t need hours. You just need a rhythm.
A sustainable, repeatable rhythm that stacks wins and rewires your identity:
“I’m someone who creates—even when I don’t feel like it.”
Your Next Step Starts Here
That’s exactly why I started the Weekday Writer Newsletter.
It’s for creators who want to build the writing habit that builds the writing business.
No fluff. No pressure. Just focused insight, a shared rhythm—and a little kick up the backside five mornings a week.
Because weekday writing works.
You just have to put in the reps. 💪
