The value of morning pages comes from writing without judging what comes out. It does not need to be coherent, interesting, or even readable later; the goal is simply to clear out the mental noise before starting your day. Many people find that ideas, decisions or feelings they had not consciously acknowledged surface once they stop trying to write something good and just keep the pen, or in this case the cursor, moving.
Resist the urge to delete or polish sentences. Getting the words out matters more than how they read.
Writing at the same time each day, ideally right after waking up, makes the habit easier to sustain.
A free-writing practice popularized by Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way: writing a set amount, traditionally three longhand pages, first thing in the morning without stopping to edit.

No, the point is to write whatever is in your head without censoring it, even if that means writing "I don't know what to write" a few times.
