Do you have a set daily/weekly routine for art? Do you know what you're gonna do tomorrow? next week? next month?
Something I've been struggling with with trying to draw daily is just trying to come up with what to do next.

Keep a list of things you want to draw / practice. Either a physical list on a paper or a document. Whenever something comes to your mind, put it on your list. Ideally, after each drawing you should have one or two things you need to work on more. Each time you don't know what to do: Pick something from the list.

draw something, see where to improve, do studies based on that, then draw something else. repeat forever

I might have an idea for a painting in my mind for months before I get started on it. I've still got ideas I haven't attempted yet because it's just not worth it because I can't save them from the skip at present. Have you ever been to a small town auction? Then you might know what I mean.

No routine. No idea what I'd do tomorrow. Or next week or next month.

Be happy in not knowing what to do. There might be something better for you out there, somewhere.

Some good questions to ask yourself, from Love Life Drawing.

>What days and times are you often going to be able to practice?
>What are you going to focus on when you’re energetic?
>What will you do just for fun and the love of art?
>What type of practice will you do when you’re tired?

Make quick sketches of ideas. Whenever you struggle with a specific thing, bump it up on the list of things you need to practice.
