If you're looking to set up a habit cycle, I'd recommend three steps:
1. Find a cue that will remind you to start writing, e.g. having your morning coffee
2. Write any amount of time; say 30min or so
3. Reward yourself. I just have a little snack, but it could be anything
Works great for me, and I found once I changed some small habits, it was also easier to do better overall.
This advice is from the book "The power of habit" by Charles Dhuigg
It is a research paper recommendation system, which downloads the daily arXiv.org research papers and then makes personalised recommendations to the user.
You name some authors that you like, including yourself, and upvote their most interesting papers. Then the system starts recommending papers to you. You can +/- vote papers which further trains the system. Finally, you choose how often you would like to receive a summary email, listing your top recommendations. If you don't want the summary email, you can just visit the site and it will aggregate and rank all papers that you missed since your last visit.
