When you wake up, instead of checking emails on your phone, or counting your retweets, pick up a pen and scratch a few sentences into a notebook.
And I tend to listen to NPR when I'm not writing.
I'm always writing at night - things I would change, things I would do differently. When I write a note, it sticks in my head differently.
I write early in the morning, usually after reading portions of at least half a dozen newspapers on the web.
I always try to read at night, because it gets me kind of tired.
I can't write at night. For me, I'm programmed to believe that nighttime is for relaxation.
I start writing at 7.30 A.M. and write till noon. I've never written a single word after 5.00 P.M.
Once I have a book in my head, I write progressive drafts fast and obsessively and have trouble sleeping.

I can write all the way through the morning, when my mind is clear, and there are no distractions.
