• Word Count Accountability/Writing App??

  There's 4thewords, where they gamify writing. I've not tried it but it looks interesting. Source: over 3 years ago

• Executive Dysfunction

  Yes, I'm the same way. Two things have helped me. 1. Using the Pomodoro technique. You can find timers online and they tick while you are doing whatever, which I find helps me stay on track. I do 30 minutes with 5 minutes break. 2. 4thewords.com is a really cool gamification system for writers. You basically fight monsters while you're writing. It's amazing how well it keeps you on track! Also, there are some... Source: over 3 years ago

• Where you write?

  I use 4thewords.com with Scrivener for organisation and notes, but it really depends on what works for you. I like the gamification of 4thewords because it helps me focus, other people prefer options where they can completely turn off their wifi for fewer distractions. There are people who still write entirely by hand for their first drafts because it helps turn off their inner editor. Try a few options and see... Source: over 3 years ago

• Hello, I'm Celia Lake. I write cosy historical fantasy romances. Ask Me Anything today!

  My word count went up substantially when I stopped commuting every day in March of 2020. These days I'm in the office 2-3 days a week, but I've kept the words up, and average about 2K a day (though there are days I do a lot less and some I do more). I draft on 4theWords, so there is a bit of gamification there - can I get through this word battle to defeat this monster, etc. Source: over 3 years ago

• Campfire Writing?

  I use 4TheWords more often than some of the other ones lately, and it's sorta fun too. They've got a thirty day trial and plenty of events that give you additional time for free (especially NaNo). Also worth a check if some of the other software doesn't tickle your fancy. Source: over 3 years ago

• Note-Taking and Personal Knowledge Management

  Using Logseq[1][2] for years and quite happy with it, especially since it has apps for tablets/iPad and phones as well, while being completely FOSS. [1] https://logseq.com/ [2] https://github.com/logseq/logseq. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• AI Coding Tip 020 - Create a Second Brain

  Choose a local Markdown tool like Obsidian, Logseq, Foam, or Tolaria to store all your knowledge as plain .md files you own and control. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

• Forgetful gets procedural and prospective memory

  I should call out another thing that convinced me was a user of forgetful (twsta) posted in the discord a skill for managing wok and todos from how they used to use Logseq. - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago

• Refactoring How I Learn

  The Zettelkasten method is a knowledge management system that helps organise ideas effectively. I believe this system would work well for myself, so I have been looking at applications such a Logseq and Zettlr as a result. I am currently using a Wiki-style solution in Zim, however. - Source: dev.to / 8 months ago

• Be Careful with Obsidian

  I am a fan of Logseq [0] as well, although it’s slightly different in that it is mostly for bulleted notes and not long-form prose. [0]: https://logseq.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago
