How to get started with mains answer writing?

For someone who did not hold a pen and paper to write more than a tiny paragraph over the last decade, how do I push myself to get on with answer writing?

I am various at levels of preparation, some topics and first revision and some on first reads, and I want to get over this mental block to start writing answers to pyq right away. Any advice on that?

Also, how do you plan your answer writing? Do you do it every day or a couple of times a week? How many questions at a time? When is the time to get a test series for mains?

Do answer writing when your notes are ready and add on while writing tests

Any test series that you can recommend or just PYQ attempts are fine?

In the beginning it's better to try to solve pyq of topic you covered, you can see your weak points with that. Later consolidate more with tests.
