Years ago I download an app called Writeometer. I stopped using it for a long time because of my inability to keep a schedule and the big low of my writing years but have recently cleansed it and started using it again.

The reasons I like Writeometer are:

• It lets you have multiple projects
• It tracks your session writing, allowing you to adjust the time of each session
• It offers a rewards system for completing sessions or words written that you can adjust however you want
• It gives you an estimation on your completion date based on your words written and lets you know if you’re on target
• It has a neat little toolbox that gives you word salads (I use these for my writing prompts now) and quotes and has a thesaurus and a dictionary

Now that my phone notifications are fixed, I’m hoping that I can keep up my daily check-ins to make sure I’m at least doing one or two writing sessions a day. I have my timer set at 25mins but I rarely adhere to this, often it’ll go off and I’ll just keep writing until I either feel that I’ve written enough or finally feel the writing falling off; so I take how much time I’ve spent writing with a grain of salt.

I definitely recommend this app if you want to track your writing and motivate yourself if you don’t already have something to do it with. It’s pretty easy to use and has a nice and clean interface. This is starting to sound like an actual advertisement so I’ll stop here…

Let 2020 be my year of productivity!
