Most people quit creative routines because they feel too big. The fix is to keep colouring sessions short, repeatable, and easy to start.

The 3 x 10 method

  1. Do three sessions per week.
  2. Keep each session to 10 minutes.
  3. Rotate between one template day, one free draw day, and one family co-colour day.

This pattern works because it removes decision fatigue and keeps momentum steady.

Suggested weekly split

  • Monday: Template colouring (low-friction start)
  • Wednesday: Free Draw (creative exploration)
  • Saturday: Shared session (parents + kids or partners)

If someone misses a day, skip guilt and continue the next planned slot.

Keep sessions engaging

  • Start with two colours only.
  • Finish one region before switching tools.
  • Use zoom only for detail passes.
  • End with one quick export to your gallery for progress tracking.

Why this matters

A routine like this builds creative confidence without overwhelming anyone. Over a month, you get 12 completed sessions with very low effort.

If you are just starting, open a simple animal template first, then switch to free draw once confidence is up.
