Author Tim Ferriss shares his raw morning journal, explaining that journaling is a cost-effective therapy that helps to clear the mind. He uses a large-format paperback called "The Artist's Way" as a companion for his morning pages, which he does not write to be productive or to find great ideas, but rather to get his thoughts out of his head. Ferriss shares a real entry from his journal, highlighting the benefits of trapping thoughts on paper. He concludes that morning pages don't need to solve problems, but simply need to get them out of the head to prevent them from bouncing around all day.
