Nanowrimo is going well, and the main reason for that is the sprints. These used to be called word wars, but now it’s less about competition and more about writing for a set amount of time.
We’re doing our group writing on Discord, and the bot starts and stops the sprints. I love writing as fast as I can for a set amount of time with no distractions. It’s day four, and I have written over 15,000 words thanks to sprints.
If you have a project, either for work or at home, that isn’t moving forward, try some sprints. Set a timer for ten, fifteen, or twenty minutes, and remove all distractions. You’ll be amazed at the progress that can be made.
For even more fun and commitment, text a few friends and have everyone work on their project simultaneously. At the end, share your results. This will give you even more motivation, and motivation leads to finished projects.
