About this template
Morning pages, popularised by Julia Cameron's book The Artist's Way, are three pages of longhand, stream-of-consciousness writing done first thing in the morning. This template is simply calm lined paper with the date and time at the top and page markers, so nothing gets between you and the page.
How to use it
- Write before you check your phone.
- Don't reread for a few weeks — the point is to empty your head, not to write well.
- If you're stuck, write “I don't know what to write” until something comes.
Who it's for
- Journalers: Reflect & document life
- Creatives: Capture ideas & inspiration
