In this episode titled "Expedition Daily Rituals," Antonio begins by sharing his newfound inspiration from Stephen King's advice on daily writing. Motivated by King's recommendation to write one thousand words a day, Antonio embarks on this new goal with enthusiasm. He acknowledges his initial difficulty in meeting the 1000-word target, choosing instead to view it as a learning curve rather than a failure.

Drawing inspiration from the routines of creative masters, Antonio revisits Mason Currey's book "Daily Rituals: How Artists Work." He shares fascinating insights into the daily lives of luminaries like Mozart, Karl Marx, and Toni Morrison. From Mozart's meticulously planned composition sessions to Marx's relentless dedication to work, each master's routine provides a unique perspective on productivity. Antonio highlights Toni Morrison's exceptional ability to balance a day job, teaching, and single parenthood while still producing impactful literature.

Antonio also seeks advice from colleagues on establishing a routine, receiving valuable recommendations such as time blocking and the Pomodoro technique. He emphasizes the importance of aligning tasks with personal energy levels and maximizing productivity during periods of high focus and creativity.

James Clear's "Atomic Habits" becomes a focal point in Antonio's pursuit of a sustainable routine. While he admits to not having read the book, Antonio gains insights from Clear's MasterClass series, learning the power of small, consistent changes over radical shifts.
