Make something every day, even if it’s just one bad sketch on a receipt. Daily beats brilliant.

Daily contact keeps the work close, which matters more than what gets produced on any single day. When there is a gap of weeks, each return costs energy simply to re-enter, and much of a session goes into remembering where you were. A small daily touch removes that cost entirely.

Set the minimum absurdly low, low enough that a bad day still clears it. One sketch, one line, one photograph, and let the good days be a bonus rather than the requirement.
