One of the challenges to getting anything related to creativity done is time and motivation. A solution here is to have an operation that you can do in mere seconds, so you can call your creative work complete for the day. I write in Creative Doing:
The goal here is to simplify your creative operation, moving the starting point to the finish point much closer together—mere seconds apart.
While 20 seconds is an aspirational goal, realistically it may take at least a minute to complete the simplest version of your creative operation. If you’re writing every day, let it take a minute to write a sentence. Or if you’re drawing daily, then a minute enables you to quickly sketch some- thing simple.
Even if you wake up a few minutes earlier, or sleep a few minutes later, you can get this done. It probably won’t be your best work, but it’ll keep your creativity from clogging up.
A key to this is it also doesn’t take much motivation. Just make something small, complete it. You can release it if you like.
Sometimes, keeping the streak alive is enough. If you miss a day, don’t feel too bad, inconsistency is often how consistency starts.
