Choose a recent session that reflects your normal circumstances and reconstruct where the attempt became difficult. Include setup and available time. Make one adjustment you can test in the next session, then compare what changed before revising the routine more broadly.
Asking whether you have been consistent can lead to a broad judgement without a clear next step. Looking at one recent session gives you something more concrete.
Choose an attempt that reflects your ordinary conditions. Note what you intended to do, how you began and where the session became difficult. Include the preparation and the available time, since these may explain more than the result alone.
Choose one adjustment
You might prepare a reference, shorten the exercise or ask for feedback on one step. Keep the change small enough to test during the next session. Avoid rewriting the whole routine after an unusual day.
At the next review, compare what happened with the changed arrangement. You can keep the adjustment, revise it or return to the old one. If several sessions point to the same problem, consider a larger change then. A review can remain brief and practical, with attention on the conditions you can alter and the skill you are trying to develop.
Finding why a writing session stalled
An illustrative exampleSuppose a writing session was meant to produce a first draft of a short proposal. You opened the document on time but spent most of the session searching for a requirement mentioned in an earlier message. In your review, you identify that missing reference as the point where work stopped. The next session begins with that message attached to the draft, and the target remains the same small section. Afterwards, you compare the start: did having the requirement available let you write, or did another question remain unresolved? You keep a note of the result rather than rating the whole week as good or bad. If several sessions show the same missing-information problem, you add a brief preparation check.

When one session gives a misleading picture
An unusually demanding day may reveal a useful fallback without describing your normal routine. Compare it with another ordinary attempt before changing the whole schedule. If you have little record, use the next session to leave a short note about its start and stopping point. Reviews do not need precise scores to identify a missing file or an unsuitable time. If the obstacle involves instruction you do not understand, ask a focused question instead of rearranging the calendar around the same unresolved difficulty.
