I mean it in the following sense. Writing takes time. Time that you would be spending on other pursuits (and other people!). Don't feel guilty when you've been writing. Feel guilty when you haven't been.
Most successful writers also say having set hours helps.
I have no set hours, multitask compulsively, abandon writing to do other things when I feel like it, do not experience guilt about it until and unless I am in danger of missing a deadline, and sometimes allow the unavailability of my beta readers to prevent me from writing even when I'm otherwise in the mood.
And I ship.
Ship as in deliver or ship as in romantically pairing characters? Both seem plausible on the topic of writing.
As in deliver. Shipping as in romantic pairings would have been contextually irrelevant.
I'm glad your method works for you.
