The warmup.

My dance teacher keeps emphasising on the need of warming up before you start dancing.

The same is true for a creative.

You need to warm your fingers up to type. Morning pages are a good way to do that.

You need to click a few casual pics. You need to play a few light notes on the guitar.

Skipping the warm up is not a good strategy.

To pull off the dance moves, you want your muscles to be ready for the action.
