It's always on the top of my priority list - taking the time to write. Whether it's to jot down ideas, free write, make lists, or just copy down quotes, keeping a journal of all of your thoughts is my favorite way to see growth, figure out a problem, or at the very least, feel productive.
It not only exercises the creative muscle (the fictional stories that I write are waaaay out there) but also, when you write down a crazy idea and work it out on the page - it suddenly doesn't seem so crazy after all.
