I sometimes listen to music to help me write; the music type depending on what type of scene I'm writing. Friendly banter, a happy and upbeat song. Urgent scene, a fast paced song.
As for pacing yourself, that is a good thing, but so is actually getting your work down on file. I often finish a chapter, then re-read it and if I feel something is wrong with it, or my beta readers point out something I missed, I got back and change it. My next chapter I have re-written 4 times; just cause you finish a chapter doesn't mean you have to post it immediately.
Another thing I found, worked for me but may not work for you, was that when I am somewhat stressed or have something weighing on my mind, I find it Easier to write. I remember I got quite a few chapters done in college from working in that setting. Different people, different things work for you.
Hope some of this helped. If you wanna chat about your story, drop me a PM; no promises if it's a fanfic about a series IDK of though.
