I love all these suggestions, but have to tell you I totally endorse the sundresses. I have my own rack! They are perfect for work and weekends, and I'm wearing one of them right now. Also a big proponent of pen and paper. :) Thank you for sharing ALL these tips!

Love all these tips. I’ve gravitated toward having a stack of black t-shirts and just keep trying to find the exact right one I can buy multiple of :)

Totally agree with having poetry accessible--such a great tool for little bursts of creativity. :)

Yes!! Especially when I'm deliberate and specific about which collections I have out--ones that I know I can dive into quickly, that are gonna be the delight guarantee.

Great tips, sarah!!! A low energy, energy-saving tip for me would have to be what foods I put in my body. Spaghetti or any pasta for lunch is guaranteed to put me in an afternoon coma…thus, not a good writing food :)

I also like the tip about changing clothes to write - it works very well!

Ooooh, yes, food is huge. And having a meal you eat during the day that will sustain you but you don’t have to think about. I think I’ve eaten yogurt and berries every day for lunch for years!
