Ryan, it's hard at first as I was trained to follow a routine and suffered from guilt also. I found moving to a 168 hour time period and saying, I need to write and submit 6 articles in that time helped remove the pressure of doing the same thing each day.

I could write in the morning, or evening. Take a day off. As long as I published 6 articles it didn't matter when or where.

I write about it in far more detail here:
