2. Create A Place To Write

Therefore, make your environment comfortable.

6. Discover Your Best Time To Write
I can't focus between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.
So I don't write during that time.
Try out different time slots.
See how you feel when you're writing.
Stick to the one that feels more natural.
This will help you set the habit faster
