I use a website called 750 Words to complete a minimal amount of writing every day. For a while now I have been writing almost daily. There are times when I have only written a few times a month.
I make an effort to get the writing done early in the day, if not first thing. Sometimes I catch up later in the evening. It usually takes about 15 to 20 minutes, then I move on to other tasks.
I find that writing daily forces me to articulate my thoughts on many topics. This may include work, life, faith, hobbies, problem solving, etc.
I maintain a list of writing tasks for new projects and ideas that I am working on. Sometimes I write fiction, developing characters and stories to use for book or game ideas that I have. I have some Google Docs where I collect some of the writing for further development.
