Journaling
Write a little every day, for an audience of one
A notebook and a pen, or the notes app already on your phone; three lines counts as a day. The difficulty is never the writing but remembering to do it, so a fixed time and a fixed place beat any technique. Keeping it private matters more than it sounds: the moment you imagine a reader, the entries turn presentable and stop being useful.
First stepWrite three lines every night before bed in the same spot, for your eyes only, seven nights running.
