Often people give advice about doing something first thing in the morning before other things happen, writing, praying, reading the Bible or even exercising, but that never seems like a good idea to me. Mentally you've got to wakeup, physically you've got to get the blood flowing and not be stiff or numb, and spiritually you have to be awake. I don't even like to talk first thing, I like a slow hello world approach, but making something a scheduled part of your routine does make sense.
I don't know if I could do that. I have to get the things that I need to do in the morning out of the way first so they aren't on my mind while I'm trying to write.
Good advice for sure, but following it . . ? There's the rub. The problem is, what works for one may not work of everyone. I simply don't work that way. I can write something fist thing in the morning, and usually do. But 1,000 words five days a week. Nope. Like Chrys, I work better getting things out of the way that interfere with my writing. Then I'm home free, so to speak.

Very good advice.
I agree. Great suggestion.
Great advice.... if only I had the time to sit down first thing in the morning to write 1000 words!

That is very good advice.
