a writing question

Happy Wednesday, everyone! I'm just passing through for a moment to share an observation and ask a question.
I've been trying to better prioritize my writing, especially now that I have fewer weekly commitments than I used to. And while the writing is going fairly well, I've noticed that I have a really difficult time giving myself permission to write before I do housework, before I exercise, before I make dinner. So it's often 11 pm before I give myself permission to write, and we all know I'm probably not doing my best work at 11 pm after working all day and doing those other things. I think this is the thing I'm struggling with the most; giving myself permission to let other things go for a while so that I can be my best writer self.
Do any of you have a hard time with this? What are you struggling with the most as a creative person?
