I don't know why I feel embarrassed to say I've really benefitted from Julia Cameron's work. I think it's because I started on on the tale end of it's last lull period (its popularity has come and gone a few times) before it seemed to be everywhere all the time. I think it's because I get it as a person in sobriety as well, and I came to it from a sobriety tool lens rather than as an artistic tool like most people into it recently. I credit a lot to her work, including my most recent letterpress - I wouldn't have been ready for the commitment and the leap to jump on it when one came up for sale without TAW. I do a shorter form of morning pages each day and I think it helps me know what it is I really want.

Similarly, having a daily two-card tarot pull feels just a bit cringe after years of a weird capitalistic over-saturation of tarot everything. For about 4 years I've been pulling two cards every morning, which I incorporate into my morning pages. I don't see them as divination but just an interesting way to view a day's potential.

I use one deck almost exclusively - a black and white pip deck based on the Rolla Nordic tarot that came in a little metal tin for travel.

I use Kim Krans' Archetype Deck when I'm feeling scattered, overwhelmed, or just stuck. I sometimes use this deck when planning out a week or month.
