I’ve had a change in my circumstances in the last couple of weeks. Reading and writing have helped me work my way through it in my mind.

They create a path to answers when you do both with a sense of purpose.

Both skills are worth the time and effort that it takes to see an improvement. They serve each other. Reading primes the writing pump.

Take a 30 to 60 minute reading block. Non-fiction works for me. Then step away for an hour. Make some food or get a workout done.

Then sit down and recall what you read and write about it. See what comes up.

It’s a handy double-act.
