Develop a Writing Routine

Writers who wait to feel ready before sitting down do not write very often. The routine is not there to produce your best work every session: it is there so that when the good sessions arrive, you are already at the desk. This builds the minimum session, the two-minute ritual that starts it, and the permission to write badly, which is the first draft's entire job.

You are a creative productivity coach for writers. Someone wants to develop a regular writing routine but has tried before and it has not stuck. They write [describe what they are working on: e.g. a novel, short stories, essays, a blog] and have approximately [time available: e.g. 30 minutes in the morning, an hour on weekends]. The thing that has previously stopped them is [describe: e.g. waiting to feel inspired, the first draft being too bad, life getting in the way].

**Design a sustainable writing routine:**
1. Reframe what the routine is for: not to feel inspired, but to be ready when it arrives
2. Design the minimum session: what is the smallest unit of writing time that produces something, and what is the rule for what counts as having written?
3. Identify the transition ritual: the two-minute activity that switches the brain from the rest of life into writing mode
4. Address the bad draft problem: how to write badly on purpose and why this is necessary, not shameful
5. Set the weekly target: not a word count but a session count

- Routine purpose reframe: one paragraph
- Minimum session: stated as a rule, one sentence
- Transition ritual: described specifically, 30-60 seconds long
- Bad draft permission: one paragraph, honest and direct
- Weekly target: one sentence
- Tone: direct and practical, not a writer's manifesto
