I love this and will be downloading the app shortly! I need to know where all my time is going since I thought I’d be done by now. Thanks for the tip!

[...] It is viable to combine both word count and time spent measurements as the daily goal. In that way, you can measure word count when you are writing and time spent when you are working on other relevant academic activities. I also find it is beneficial to record daily progress together with some comments about what has been achieved or lack thereof so reflection is possible for self improvement. Another example of measurement is from Sarah Ford (who Tweets as @Sarah_M_Ford). She has a unique formula of calculating ‘score’ to measure her daily progress (learn more about it here). [...]

Thanks for sharing, Sarah. Your metric is very unique and it’s inspiring for me to start counting the time I spend reading and other non-writing stuff. I also hope you don’t have many ‘freak outs’. Maybe I hope we all don’t have those ‘freak outs’ ever. Hehe!

PS – hope you don’t have many ‘freak outs’ whatever they are

Thanks for posting that. Is there a paper coming as well? For future reference – .mov is an annoying format to post slides in. My default player (VLC) couldn’t flip through them one by one but whizzed past them…

I know this is late and I’m just starting to blog about my research, but I would love to keep in touch and help push each other forward. We may be in different departments and schools, but our research is similar.

Well I seem to recall Goffman became a sociological rock star quite early on, so actually this does tend to suggest that anthropologists might have been stuck in their own scholarly groove (quite a few scholars looked down on G. for various reasons).

People will read your blog if you write stuff that a certain kind likes to read on a regular basis, tell that kind of people about your blog in a way that isn’t nagging, and update your blog regularly.
