When is the last time that you write a journal to keep track of your daily stuff? Today, I am going to share with you this concept of morning pages that I got to know from one of the internet marketers. How does this morning pages come about? It started off from this book called “The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron” where the author put it in a way of every morning when you wake up, the first time you do to clear your mind is to write a three pages long morning pages. You can write anything under the sun that you want or even complain about anything in your life that comes into your mind. The concept is to get rid of all the clutter things in your head through writing them out first thing in the morning without any editing or censoring in any way. The main idea is that if you can get into the habit of writing three pages a day, it will thus help you clear your mind and brings in more creativity into your life and let ideas flowing for the rest of the day.

In order for you to see the effect of writing morning pages, it will be best that you try it out for a period of 60 to 90 days to really see how useful it is to help clear your mind. On the other hand, I have another website to recommend you to assist you in writing this morning pages. As mentioned, morning pages required you to actually write three pages of stuff first thing in the morning when you wake up and there is actually a website that lets you type down all the things there. From research shown that 3 pages of A4 paper is roughly about 750 words and this website is called 750words.com. Something good about this website is because the creator is also a follower of this morning pages concept and he created this site with the mindset of making this morning pages writing interesting with the use of technology. He also felt that writing morning pages should be a private and personal thingy as compared to writing on a blog where the rest of the world can see once you published it online. Therefore, he made it so private that only you with the user login and password can view it. However, please make sure that you do not review your previous days writing until about 3 to 4 weeks later as it is a process of gaining awareness through your daily writing.

Personally, I like to write on 750words website as it gives out different streak badges if you are able to complete certain milestones and it is not easy to create a habit of daily wake up to do your morning pages for starters so these streak badges actually keeps you motivated to continue doing it.

Beside giving you streak badges to motivate you to write daily, the website creator also use all your words to help you analyse what’s your emotion right now after dumping all the words into the website. The website will also provide you quite a number of statistics for you to see and review accordingly.

What’s more interesting is that you can track some stuff like figures of how you gauge your daily energy level from 1 to 10 or the things you want to track by putting a meta data and after that this website will actually generate a chart based on the data you gave for you to review when you feel like reviewing it. This will actually allows you to see things from a more objective point of view like a company viewing the facts and figures with charts showing on the screen. You c!n also compared two different figures side by side to see whether you are performing based on the daily energy level you have with you.

Personally, I felt that this 750words website is very useful as you can challenge yourself by taking part in their monthly challenge of consistently of consistently writing for a month. If you manage to complete the challenge, you can reward yourself based on the thingskyou state and you will be placed on the wall of fame. On the other hand, if you didn’t complete the challenge, your name will be put on their wall of shame and you can either donate the amount you state to the website owner or do something else that you stated.
