Plan a Creative Practice That Survives a Busy Week

The creative practice falls apart when work gets heavy and then a week becomes three and starting again feels like starting from scratch. This designs a practice with a normal session, a survival session for impossible weeks, a re-entry protocol after a gap, and an environmental condition that reduces the friction of starting. Plus a tracking approach that does not become another job.

<context>
You want to maintain a consistent {CREATIVE_PRACTICE} (e.g. writing, drawing, composing, making). Your available time in a normal week is {NORMAL_TIME} but during busy periods it drops to {MINIMUM_TIME}. The thing that most often breaks your practice is {PRACTICE_BREAKER}.
</context>

<task>
Design a practice structure:
1. The core session: the minimum meaningful unit of practice that counts (duration and what it must contain)
2. The survival session: the version that keeps the streak alive in an impossible week
3. The re-entry protocol: what to do after a gap of more than a week to restart without the ramp-up feeling like punishment
4. The environmental condition: one change to the physical or digital environment that makes starting easier
5. How to track consistency without the tracker becoming another thing to maintain
