Prolifiko is a digital productivity coach for writing. We built it for people who want to write but can’t find the time or struggle with procrastination and overwhelm. Based in neuroscience, Prolifiko makes your writing goal faster and easier to achieve by breaking it down into small steps and by helping you reflect and learn about your practice.
This is such a good idea: the right blend of automation and human support, and uses all the tricks my Apple Watch uses to get me moving more to get me writing more.
Pros:Super smart writing tool: taps into gamification, habit-forming, positive feedback, everything we know works.
Cons:You still have to do the actual writing.
I've not been using this long but I've already been recommending it to all my writing friends. The self-directed goals and supportive follow-up emails are exactly what every writer needs.
Pros:It's got me pushing through some tricky chapters and smashing my usual word count! Great tips and a friendly community as well.
Cons:I'm staying up later and later to do my writing as I'm so motivated to meet my goals! I might need to add a sleep target as well.
In the eight months I have been using Prolifiko I have finished a 90,000 word manuscript and wrote another 50,000 words of a novel for NaNoWriMo. Without Prolifiko these would have been far too daunting a prospect. I can't imagine trying to write without it now.
Pros:Helps you just focus on writing, gets you over the procrastination hump, very user friendly.
Cons:It can't make you a cup of tea, or massage your shoulders.
Great app, which can be used for breaking down goals into manageable chunks whilst kicking your butt with accountability. Love it.
Pros:Fantastic app which creates a sense of accountability while gently supporting your goals step-by-step. Love it!
Cons:The world needs to know!
