What's the minimum time you can work on your writing? Do you need a long, clear period?
I've done quick writing sprints but they're never satisfying. I must have my uninterrupted 4 hours every day or I get a bad case of NWS (not-writing syndrome) and get cranky.

Wow! That's the way to do it.
When I was younger and decided I was going to write that next novel fast, I found that a disciplined 4 hours a day 4 days a week let me finish 80K in two months. It felt pretty optimal, even with a day job, and I wrote only in the morning. Now adays, I've got to stretch, exercise, eat, etc., in those fresh morning hours (assuming I wake that early). Four hours is hard to find, unless I start and get lost in the flow...
@sfwrtr I used to work an 8 hour day during development season writing ideas on a board, cleaning up chosen ideas, lacing together various ideas tossed out for episodes in need of development - and when I got home I was too tired to think of my own work.
Once I retired - I dedicate 4 hours a morning to writing, then go swim laps or run before coming home to eat and dabble in non-writing things. Got to have that 4 hours early.
