    I wouldn’t even go so far as to demand 30 mins.

    Do you know the “put on your running shoes” method?

    Where you want to start jogging, but are having a hard time actually doing it.

    One approach is to make a small commitment that sets you up to just fall into the thing you’re trying to do.

    In the running example, the only thing you are committing to is getting into your running gear and stand inside your front door. That’s it. If you just put on your gear and then immediately take it back off, you’ve met your commitment.

    But people often find that getting that far makes it very easy to just take the next step.

    Similarly with drawing, I would suggest something like: ‘You are going to sit down at your desk, open a new canvas and draw a box.’ That’s all. If you happen to draw a different box, or a box with a corner missing or whatever after that, that’s amazing. But just one box is all you need.

    You could match this up with ‘Habit Stacking’ where you have things you do every day anyway, so right after that you put your drawing time. (For example, put kids to bed -> make a cup of tea -> draw any box)
