So there are many approaches to this, and this is a broad subject.

At first I struggled very much with 50% rule and it was not fun for me. But after persevering, pushing through my own fears and inner critic, it is my favourite part now. And I am not good at art yet. Key I think is to push through. Around \~15-20 minutes of the session first content feeling arrives, at least for me. Before that, I just fear my own incompetence or get frustrated with whatever.

BUT I need to add if you push through and you just feel frustration building, nothing else - not even remotely content feeling - I would stop, take a break and reevaluate.
