I try to be consistent with my learning, so on workdays I do some warm-ups and at least one page of homework, which would take about 30 min to an hour. I've experienced burn-out when doing the 250 boxes, so I try to do slightly less than I can to keep that feeling of wanting to draw more to the next day. I usually do exercises on one day, and draw my own project on the next day. I found it more flexible during workdays when I have very limited free time.

I think a better question (which I assume is the one you are trying to find an answer to by asking for other's routine) would be what schedule fits you best, which requires that we take the following factors into account:

1 - How much free time do you have available and when?

- By free time I mean the time you are willing to allot to drawing, so assuming you sleep and work  for 17 hours and are very adamant on spending 3 hours with your friends everyday, that leaves it at 4 hours of free time (24 - 17 - 3 = 20).

- Calculate it, even a sloppy estimate will do. If you only have 2 hours on a certain day, you won't be able to draw for three hours.

2 - Are you getting enough rest?

- The exercises aren't nearly as effective when you are fatigued, so try placing them at a time when you will have a fair amount of stamina.

3 - Try doing it at one hour chunks.

- Our brains take a while to fully focus on an activity, and the more focused we are, the more we learn. By timing things this way, you will be getting more for less, it's better to do things really well (one hour) every two days than averagely (think half an hour) every day.

4 - Is your schedule chaotic?

- Are you one of those people who have got a lot of responsibilities spread haphazardly all throughout their day? If so, you probably won't be able to follow a rigid routine (drawing after lunch or 4:00 PM). But this doesn't mean you should give up on planning, try following more general guidelines, such as "draw for as long as can before sleep time".

5 - Keep yourself distraction free.

- Learn to draw is hard, it requires focus. I won't be getting into specifics here, but, to put it in layman's terms, when your mind is split between a lot of things at once, you learn less because the brain substance related to learning (Myelin) gets split between all of them, so instead reinforcing the drawing brain cells, you are reinforcing the politics, funny meme, video game, food and that-really-catchy-song brain cells. Of course, this is just one of the ways lack of focus hijacks your learning.

Bonus - On your willingness to follow the routine:

- Trying to draw after doing something stimulant such as watching TV or going through social media is a really bad idea, you will be very tempted to just procrastinate, specially if you don't have the habit of drawing. So make sure those come *after* the drawing.

- Start small. If you can't handle more than ten minutes of drawing a day, then keep it at that, you will see yourself managing to draw for longer and longer sessions as you get used to it.

- Keep a calendar and draw a really big, red X on the days you follow your drawing routine, this will make you more motivated.

Hi,

For me, i draw everyday 4 hours per days. I dont work or go to school so it's easier for me to respect this time drawing.

I try to divise my time into 2 chunk (or three in the night time, i doodle a page in my sketchbook).

The first chunk is dedicate to study, doing lesson homework (2hr), i've do it in the morning, when i woke up.

The second chunk is dedicate to free drawing (2hr). So drawing what i want to draw this time with or without reference, sometime i've art therapie so i count as the 50% rules. I've do it in the afternoon at 2pm.

So far i respect my time and it's been 50 days since i've had this routine.
