My progress tracking system for Writing
Being a Software Developer has its perks.
I have a new setup in my knowledge base, which is a project system complete with todos, progress reporting, and dashboard integrations. Being good at developing software has its perks.
Here is a percentage update on my current projects here: (Inspired by Brandon Sanderson)
John Halliday, my first novel, is officially 20% completed
The percentages are automatically updated based on the number of todos that are checked off in my project page, typically they look like this. I measure project progress by the scenes written, not really the chapters, and I don’t write them in order.
For less complex work like articles, there’s typically less todo items, this is my setup for the latest good article, I am currently 67% done, that is not a coincidence.
This is the best way I’ve found to complete things with an ADHD addled brain, incapable of doing anything without caffeine, constant encouragement from peers, and many bowls of Pipe tobacco.
The plan is to give percentage updates weekly, using this new system, as well as release new scenes I’ve written..
