Stay motivated while writing your book #selfpublishing

writing stats. Now you can see how often you write and, uh, motivate yourself and feel guilty when you don't do it. This is the same way that Peloton motivates you. Had a pretty bad month in March here. They email you your stats, and you can also see other community members' stats when you're riding. This makes you focus on competition and pushing yourself rather than the pain of getting fit or the pain of writing and creating. First time I saw this, it was in an app called Keelo that I got hooked on for a couple of years doing their workouts. Because every time I saw that somebody else did a workout faster than me or better than me, I had to beat that. Physical workouts and creative sessions have the same exact feelings of resistance. You don't want to do them, they're painful, you'll do it tomorrow. When you can get visual data on your output, it motivates you to want to check each one of these boxes every single day.
