Productivity is something that is fashionable, not only in the world of work but also in the world of writing. Thus, many authors try to meet the increasingly demanding deadlines of publishers. An already paradigmatic case of this is George RR Martin whose blocking is going to happen to the annals of history for being the most famous of all.
To overcome this blockage I propose an interesting tool for Gnu / Linux, it is called FocusWriter and as its name says, it pretends seek the writer's attention and focus on writing.
Focuswriter calculates the time and days we write to create the habit of writing
FocusWriter not only cleans the screen so that we can write without distractions, but it also has a calendar and stopwatch system that will allow us to measure and calculate the time that each person spends in front of the screen by typing. So we can not only concentrate on writing but we can also calculate and create the habit of writing. There is also the possibility of using themes that personalize the application and better adapt to the functioning of the writer.
Furthermore FocusWriter introduces the sound of the typewriter for those who are used to typing on a typewriter and have switched to the computer.
If you have Ubuntu or any other Gnu / Linux operating system, you can install FocusWriter by opening a terminal and typing the following:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa: gottcode / gcppa sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install focuswriter
Once the installation is finished, we can go to the menu and search for FocusWriter or type directly «Focuswriter» so the program will open with all that this entails and changing the appearance of the system to be able to write in a more comfortable way. In any case, Focuswriter is free, so it's worth a try, whether we are writers or not? Do not you think?
