Ever since Jill got her new coffee machine, getting up and making coffee has become a morning ritual for her. She also happens to be an aspiring writer, and so she typically chooses "her corner" of the living room to sit down and - almost ritualistically- pen some thoughts or ideas, to be developed/elaborated later in the day. She says that many successful authors have writing rituals, too. See http://thoughtcatalog.com/koty-neelis/2015/01/10-famous-writers-and-their-daily-creative-routines/
