Prioritizing Morning Writing Sessions
To overcome the exhaustion and lack of motivation to write after work, it is recommended to prioritize morning writing sessions. Wake up earlier, even if it's just an hour before your regular workday starts. Create a separate space for writing, like a coffee shop or a specific area in your home. Changing your environment helps shift your mindset and separates work from your creative pursuits. Experiment with different places to find the one that inspires you the most. Make writing your top priority during this dedicated morning time.
Creating a Daily Ritual
Establish a daily ritual for writing. Set a consistent schedule, like waking up at 5:30 a.m., and make it a habit. Consistency is key in building momentum and discipline. Use the first few hours in the morning for creative work when your mind is fresh. Consider taking short breaks or going for a walk to recharge between writing sessions. Discover what routine works best for you and stick to it, nurturing your creativity and making progress in your writing projects.
Finding a New Writing Space
Consider using a different location for your writing to overcome the tiredness and mental fatigue associated with your regular work environment. Explore options like coffee shops, libraries, or outdoor spaces like parks. This change of scenery can help reenergize your creativity and provide a fresh perspective. Experiment with various places and find the one that inspires and motivates you the most. Separating your writing space from your work environment can enhance your focus and productivity.
Asking Boyfriend to Shave Regularly
Jenna is unsure if it's fair to ask her boyfriend to shave his face more regularly due to the discomfort caused by his stubble. She finds the sporadic facial hair unattractive and the stubble painful when they kiss. She doesn't see it as an unreasonable request since it directly affects her comfort and believes it's different from asking her to shave her legs. The hosts support Jenna's right to ask her boyfriend to shave since it bothers her and is something she values in their relationship.
Dealing with Patchy Facial Hair
The hosts discuss the issue of dating someone with patchy facial hair and emphasize that it's not appealing. They encourage Jenna to have a conversation with her boyfriend about her discomfort and the importance of him putting in minimal effort for her comfort. They also mention the comparison to shaving legs is not valid due to the different surface area involved. Overall, they believe Jenna is justified in asking her boyfriend to shave regularly if it makes their physical intimacy more enjoyable for her.
