Great Resources For Writers (and anyone else who needs to be productive)

There are some great apps and websites out there to help you stay focused and be productive while writing: (AND THEY’RE ALL FREE)

1. Rainymood.com

I write at my best when there’s a thunderstorm outside. Thanks to this website, which plays the sound of a rainstorm non-stop, I don’t have to wait on the weather to be productive

2. Coffitivity.com

I’m going to be honest - this one doesn’t work for me personally. 

However, if you find that you work well in buzzing places like coffee shops, this might be the website for you. It literally offers you playlists of cafe sounds and you can even choose the time of day that works best for you. So, now you can be antisocial and productive at the same time!

3. The Forest App

This app removes the distraction of social media on your phone.

You set a timer for the period you want to be productive and the app will grow a cute, little tree during that time. As long as you don’t open anything else on your phone! If you do, your tree dies. The app also allows you to build a forest to represent how productive you’ve been.

This one is great for those who are addicted to checking their phone while they should be working

4. The Goal Meter App

This is one of my favourite resources. It helps you track your goals and set up regular tasks to achieve them. 

The app allows you to make a to-do list, create a routine and track your goals via percentages and diagrams. That way, you can always know how much you have left to go.

I use this for word count for my WIP and for building my author platform and it does wonders in terms of accountability.

If you want to add more than three goals, you have to upgrade to a paid version. Otherwise, it’s completely free!

5. ProWritingAid.com

Saving the best for last!

This web app is like having a professional editor at your disposal 24/7. It not only highlights grammatical errors, but will point out inconsistencies, overused phrases and lack of variance in sentence length etc.

Obviously, this cannot replace hiring a professional editor, but it will assist you greatly in your self-editing process.

If you want to download the app, you’ll have to pay for it. But the web app works great and that doesn’t cost a penny.

That’s all for now. I hope that these will help you to stay focused and write an amazing manuscript this NaNoWriMo.

على عكس ما يشاع من أن الهدوء التام يساعد على التركيز، فإن درجة الضوضاء المثالية لإتمام مهمة إبداعية أو عمل يحتاج لتفكير وتركيز هى 70 ديسيبل وهى نفس درجة الضوضاء التي توجد في المقهى coffee shop أو الكافيه متوسط الازدحام.

وبسبب الدراسات التي توصلت إلى هذه النتيجة تم بناء تطبيق للهواتف الذكية يُدعى (Coffitivity) وهو تطبيق يحاكي ضوضاء المقهى.

Updates Are Coming! Pt 1.

This is Part 1 of a multipart series where we discuss upcoming expansions and developments for Coffitivity. Learn how the community can get involved, and plug in for a chance to win some cash!

Upcoming Expansions and Developments?

There’s a lot coming but, if you’re eager to get involved right this second, take our survey now for a chance to win $25 gift card to Starbucks.

Why now?

Coffitivity has always been at most a side project for those who’ve spent any time working on it. And, while we all still have full-time jobs but, some of us are coming back to work on some deserved updates. The community has given us plenty of support over the years and we’re committed to giving ours right back.

A [Brief] Look into the Past

Before we talk about where we’re heading, we should reflect on where we’ve been. A lot has changed since we first launched Coffitivity in March of 2013. We’ve been through countless design updates. We’ve added new tracks. We even created mobile and desktop apps (RIP desktop app). 

Those changes and updates could not have happened without our friends and the community chipping in. We’re incredibly fortunate to have you all in our corner. Thank you all for your support!

With all that said, we want to make it clear that change is good a thing. It’s at the heart of Coffitivity, it’s what we thrive on, and it’s time for some more.

A Plan for the Future

Okay so here’s the fun part: we’re bringing you along for the ride. No great company (or product for that matter) is built in isolation. Shoot, we even listened to the first Coffitivity track when we built the original website to test its efficacy. As such, we want and NEED you, our friends and community, to get involved. In a few steps below, we'll show you how.

Phase 1: Research

From the roots of the company we’ve leaned against strong research and we have no plans to stop that today. We’ll be gathering our data in two ways. The first will be through this survey (Version 1). We’ll keep adding to it as we learn and want to explore new ideas and concepts. As an incentive, we’ll be offering $25 Starbucks gift cards to four selected participants. 

The second method of gathering information will be through customer interviews. We’ll use the bulk of this data to inform our next direction for Coffitivity.

Click here to take our Phase 1 Research Survey (Version 1)

Phase 2: Short-Term Updates

In the short-term during the research phase, we’ll also dedicate time to work on smaller, already known issues. We'll also release smaller, previously requested updates to the site. This will also include things like more audio tracks! Expect those changes over the next few weeks.

Phase 3: Gain Community Feedback on Expansion Ideas

After we finish conducting the surveys and interviews, we’ll display the [anonymous] results online for review. We'll then poll the results to determine a priority and path for growth.

Phase 4: Build and Beta Release

This one is pretty straightforward. Once we know what our next best path is, the Coffitivity team will build test products. We may even need to recruit some of the amazing community talent to lend us a hand in the process!  We’ll use these MVPs (Minimum Viable Products) to test for functionality and bugs across a small group of beta testers.

Phase 5: Repeat

We hope that after these next updates, we can continue this process. for other expansions. With this type of exchange among the community, we’ll be able some pretty awesome stuff. It will definitely be a long process but, we're looking forward to having some fun along the way!

Get involved today by taking our survey. Four lucky participants will win a $25 gift card to Starbucks.

Stay creative, y’all. -Justin K.

Ambient noise websites for studying

If you don’t like studying in silence but music distracts you, ambient noise is a good solution. 

1. mynoise.net This one is my favorite. It has tons of different tracks, including nature sounds, voices and drones, and it has sliders to adjust the balance of each track. I haven’t tried all of them, but so far my favorites are Irish Coast, Folk Tradition, Northern Lights, Cave Chimes and In The Sky. Avoid Shepard Madness unless you hate yourself. This one is good if you get bored by repetitive sounds because it has variation, but not enough to really distract you.

2. www.noisli.com Has a bunch of different nature sounds that you can combine.

3. coffitivity.com The sound of people chattering in a cafe. This isn’t my personal favorite, but many people find it boosts their productivity.  

4. rainymood.com Exactly what it sounds like. Just rain and thunder.

5. ambient-mixer.com This site has tracks mixed by users that recreate certain atmospheres. The most popular ones are Harry Potter-themed, such as Ravenclaw Common Room and Hogwarts Library. I’m including it because it has a bunch of Doctor Who atmospheres and I’m a nerd; depending on which one you choose, it may actually be too distracting for studying.  

6. horrorli.fps.hu I am not recommending this one for studying, but I found it when I was looking through the ambient noise sites and I thought it was interesting. If you ever feel the need to write a horror novel, this might be a good background.

Etwas Morgengemurmel gefällig?

Manchmal erfasst mich Sehnsucht. Wenn ich einen Film sehe, in dem die Protagonisten an weiß gedeckten Restauranttischchen sitzen und stilvoll tafeln oder wenn in einem Bistro schlürfend der Tag mit Kaffee verlacht gibt. Gibt es das noch? Theoretisch ja, es ist nur gerade verschlossen. Und dann denke ich an Peter Altenberg, den Wiener Caféhausdichter, der die Menschen beobachtend seine Notizen…
