Totally agree! The whole idea of resistance isn't limited to art, it's like gravity glueing you to the couch. Sometimes it's hard to get up, but as time goes on it will get harder and harder. It's the kind of "I'll do that tomorrow" impulse and then tomorrow turns into a year and so on. Most people know what they need to do, they just don't.

Kinda half-related. Heard Tim Ferris talk about building habits and how it takes about... what was it... like three months on average to lock in new ones. Meanwhile, the likelihood of successfully doing so goes down proportionally to the amount of things you're trying to change at once. So according to him, if I got it right, is to concentrate on isolated habits and gradually move up from there. A bit like having a limited amount of willpower you have to spend wisely. You can brute force stuff, but again it might get more difficult.

Going full circle to writing. I figure for me that means writing a little bit each day might be better than occaisonal but isolated bursts. You just need to keep the momentum going and once that is habitual I figure you can start adding to that. Better to write a little bit than not writing at all, because the nothing at all keeps adding up to your resistance.

Well, that's what I'm telling myself at least.
