I love this practice, especially as a stay-at-home parent! Something about just looking at my dissertation before everyone else wakes up helps me stay present as a parent later in the day - I already wrote (even just a little bit), so I don't have that feeling in the back of my mind that I need to be writing instead of enjoying time with my kiddo. I've fallen out of the habit, but this post is encouraging me to pick it back up again!
