Mason Currey has a book called "Daily Rituals" that gives two pages each to dozens of famous writers' and artists' daily routines throughout time. It's striking how similar they are.

The bulk: Wake up early, write/paint/do the creative thing for a few hours. Then spend the rest of the day taking walks, attending to mail, and the other nonsense.

The core message, similar to Pressfield's the War of Art, seems to be just sit down and do it, same time, same place, every day.

As an aside, we're building a creative writing tool specifically made to jump in when writing block hits and get you going again. https://sudowrite.com/ Sometimes you just need a little kick to get inspired and keep going.
