As for the time arrangement of practicing Chinese calligraphy, you should mainly rely on yourself, and don't look for objective reasons, but only if you love writing Chinese calligraphy and calligraphy.
Calligraphy practice steps:
The first step of calligraphy practice: brushwork.
The strokes are horizontal, vertical, left, pressed, pointed, folded and rotated.
To make a machine, you need to make parts first. To write a word, of course, you have to write strokes first. Every stroke is not as simple as we thought. For example, strokes are flat, oblique and vertical.
Practice of brushwork can be combined with words. For example, if I practice "long horizontal" today, I can write long horizontal characters by the way.
The second step of calligraphy practice: font structure.
A word is like a person. You can grow tall, short, fat and thin, but you have to be a normal person.
Chinese characters have many structures, such as left-right structure, up-and-down structure, semi-enclosing structure, single characters and so on. Mainly to master the width and height of radicals. Words with the same structure have similar writing rules.
The third step of calligraphy practice: copying.
Not according to the copybook, but feeling the brushwork and structure of each word.
It takes a long time to practice calligraphy, and many people can't stick to it. If you want to learn calligraphy, you should regard it as a hobby. When you are bored, branches and stones are tools you can use.
