  Maren Morris shares what she’s doing to remember these days of her career. (:26)
“I think the most important thing is just feeling present. I’ve started journaling a lot, just to remember what has happened every day because it’s all happening at once, so you have to have some totem of normalcy. So, I’ve started writing things down…just even if they seem inane in the moment, I want to be able to look back and really remember everything that happened to me, and not take it for granted.”
