Exercise:
Find a quiet space where you won't be disturbed
Grab a notebook and and a pen
Chose one of the prompt questions and write it at the top of your page.
Write without stopping for 3 minutes (time yourself). You are writing for you so it doesn't need to be good. The important thing is to keep your pen moving.
Repeat for another prompt.
