to elaborate: every creative has a ‘magic hour’. this is an hour where your brain and your creativity peaks, where you will either produce your best work or you will simply produce a lot of work. both are good things.
your magic hour will differ from others, but it will almost always occur at the same time, every day, without fail. here is how to identify your magic hour:
a time of day where your thoughts race endlessly to the point that it feels tiring
a time of day where, if its late at night/early in the morning, you struggle to fall asleep no matter what you do
a time of day where you feel restless, where you fingers twitch, where you cannot sit still
the time of day where all you can think about is your creative projects; where you cannot hold back your thoughts, where you are lost in daydreams which nothing can pull you out of.
my magic hour is at 7am. for years, every time i went to bed at 7am (yes, my sleeping schedule is bad) i wanted to cry out of frustration; i could not sleep, my thoughts raced, i felt restless and almost stressed. all i could think about was my projects, scenes, ideas, etc. like a forced injection of inspiration and drive.
then, one day, i got myself out of bed at 7am and i started writing. all the stress vanished, and i lost myself in my work like never before. i discovered my magic hour. every day, without fail, at 7am my brain races. and i sit down and i write and i produce my best work.
find your magic hour. as soon as you do, pick up your pen. open that word document. get out your paintbrush and create. embrace your magic hour. embrace that creative fire inside of you that refuses to be ignored.
go forth, create, and ride your magic hour into beautiful waters, you wonderfully creative thing.
