Ain't nobody can do me better than me. I get it.  Lol. Routine opens up time which is the most valuable commodity. Great point on pushing through the white noise. Lol. Yes, the first cup of coffee does need to be perfect to proceed- in the morning only because Happy Hour doesn't start till afternoon. (joking- not!) Its good to know the qualities and quirks that make up a writer. But what happens (really) when they have to work together in a designated confinement? Is it like any other industry brainstorming meeting- throw a lot of mud at the wall, see what sticks and see what falls? Or action reaction- in character? Great lesson as always...
