"An effective method for motivating yourself to exercise: go running every day for 30 minutes, and if you miss it, add 30 minutes to the next day. It's works really well--tomorrow, I'm going to run for two weeks."

We laugh at the joke because we all know that's not a good way to approach your exercise. So why to we treat our word count goals like this as writers? It's time to build a more sustainable practice. Happy writing!
