Here's what I've learned working with people who have unpredictable schedules:

You don't need to write every day. You need to write consistently.

Those are two completely different things.

I started with weekly consistency, not daily pressure. Because I hate stress.

The daily writing came later. After the weekly habit was unbreakable.

After I had momentum instead of guilt.

The principle stays the same:

Find your most predictable time. Protect it. Show up there.

Everything else is bonus.

The goal is building positive momentum, not chasing an unrealistic ideal.

It’s better to consistently hit your “floor” than consistently miss your “ceiling.”
