Lads, I'm trying to live more deliberately. Do you have a daily routine to help structure/increase your literary life? It seems to me that the most productive authors tended to stick to pretty strict schedules.
If you do, please greentext.

I received that book as a gift a couple years ago; never seen a list with more echoey names in it.

I do sort of have a schedule but the more interesting thing I've done in the last year that has had a positive impact on my productivity is starting to use beeminder.
I beemind my piano practice, running, and pages read of current book. Since I work from home I really need this or I would do nothing but browse the internet and play video games 10 hours a day. Beeminder is a goal setting app where you put in your credit card and it charges you money when you miss your self reported goals (in increasing amounts, starting small). Of course there are countless goal setting apps, but none have worked for me without that hook, although I've never incurred a financial penalty because I set pretty moderate goals and always make them.
Sorry there's no way to explain it without sounding like a shill but I really like it because it is the only effective akrasia fighting tool I've come across. It's not a silver bullet-- if you don't have the willpower to write X words per day then it won't really get you there. But it can prevent procrastination/rationalization from taking over and stopping your daily goal following.
If you're thinking that if one's a procrastinator, why would this app help?, the best way I can put it is the decision to lie to your beeminder app about having done the task, or to axe the task, is a bigger "hump" in some sense than simply rationalizing "I'll do that thing tomorrow..."

That's very interesting, never heard of Beeminder.
Negative financial incentives make a lot of sense when you consider what a strong factor loss aversion is for most people. Looks like the team behind it really have thought things through and have their shit together.
I've been using Streaks. It's been quite helpful and I feel pretty shitty for ruining a good streak, but I'm a frugal cunt so this would probably help a lot more. The only problem is I don't have a creditcard.
Thanks a lot though. I'm trying to kick the bottle and this may very well come in handy.
