I write for 10 minutes every day. No word limit/count to hit. Just 10 minutes. It’s a surprisingly effective way to “flush” my head and get on with my life.

It’s become part journal, part newsletter fuel, and part self documentation. I have no specific goal when my fingers hit the keyboard other than writing for 10 minutes.

And it’s glorious to see where my thoughts take me. Sometimes I get so wrapped up I come out on the other side, an hour later and 1500 words lighter. Other times I struggle to even make a coherent sentence.

Removing the need to be polished and perfect, I free myself to write as a stream of conscious. If I could disable my backspace key I would. Pops in my head = write it down. A surprisingly freeing exercise that I look forward to each morning.

And if you’re curious, https://masilotti.com/articles - you can see how I go from “serious” stuff to more fun, and then swing back the pendulum a few times. Enjoy!
