UPDATE: Knocked it out!!! (5/10)
I did what I set out to do. I didn't use Write or Die, though. Instead, I tried out Fighter's Block. It worked. I wrote 5 minutes every day, including today, which actually helped me flesh out an idea a bit more. Whew!

And for those of you who are like me and struggle with focusing, here is a link to an an article I found that has some handy suggestions. The article is titled "Five ways Science Can Improve Your Focus".

Here was my goal...

I really need to stop thinking that thinking alone will produce ideas, that ideas will just pop into my head out of nowhere. I need to spend
more time doing the work.

Sit down in front of the computer and find strategies, like Write or Die, and write for at least 5 minutes. Do this every day, no excuses.

5 minutes doesn't seem long but it's more minutes than I've written most weeks recently.
