Write during your scheduled time, even if you don’t feel like writing. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by a writing task or experiencing writer’s block, try starting with smaller chunks of time.

I’ll just start by proofreading X.” Typically, once we begin the physical act of writing, the cognitive processes will kick into gear. Keep extending your writing time until you’re happy with your writing pace.
