In this monologue, Jesse Pujji reflects on how a deliberately structured morning—waking up early, taking care of his baby so his wife can rest, and engaging in a deep 30‑minute meditation—creates a quiet mental space that silences internal chatter and puts him into a creative flow. This state enables him to write three newsletter emails by 9 AM without the usual hours of editing. He emphasizes trusting the process, allowing words to emerge naturally, and notes that the combination of early rising, focused meditation, and a purposeful start to the day fuels his productivity and creative energy.

You know, it's that shutting off of the internal chatter that I admire that you could do. And I noticed in myself that I could do it at times, but when it comes time to writing the newsletter, no, writing it down would've just landed me in hours of editing and all that. I had this interesting thing where I've found I've been waking up earlier and I'm like having these like kind of very present moments. I did it a couple days ago and I've done it 3 days this week so far. My wife usually takes the baby in the morning and I was like, hey, why don't you sleep? And like, I'll take the baby. And I had a really fun session with her one-on-one, and then I just started writing. By 9 AM, I had 3 emails for our newsletter. I did a 30-minute really good meditation. Like, the meditation was deeper than normal. And I can't think of anything else other than like, A, the getting up in the morning and like starting my day a certain way, but then the meditation, like having that creative energy and the sort of like the flow energy was just flowing through me. Like, it just, it was just coming through me. Oh, you just have to trust that you open your mouth and the words will go where your brain needs them to go.
