Daily goal chart
The only time I’ve had success writing each day has been when I’ve made a physical chart, taped it up on my wall, and then filled in a box each day I hit my goal. It’s Jerry Seinfeld’s don’t break the chain idea, and it works remarkably well for me. My current streak (I don’t write on Sundays):

Since this seemed like it might be useful for others, I’ve made daily goal charts, available for free PDF download:

There’s also what I’m calling a “blank” chart, where you can write in the number of words you wrote (or anything else like that):

Charts for 2018 through 2023 are up. (I figure five years is enough for now.)
