I think it is generally like this for most people: Once you get going (do something), it is much easier to then also do something else.
My guess would be on the days you work, your body can stay in a working mode/mindset, whereas when you try to do so on non-work days, you have to force yourself into that mindset, which requires a lot of self control. It also might be your body telling you to take a break, and you’re overriding that feeling by writing.
