Make time for writing. Commit to writing a certain number of words per day. Even if you're not happy with what you've written, you can go back and edit later.
If you have writers' block, get up from the computer, and go for a walk or jog, wash the dishes, get a drink of water, or make your bed. Do something where you're moving your body and not distracted by TV, music with lyrics, or a podcast. Studies have shown that we actually need movement and boredom to make connections between ideas in our brain. If you get an idea, turn of phrase, or thesis, grab a notepad or your phone and write it down — otherwise you will likely forget it!
