In response to eseme‘s wordcount progress graph, I present an annotated screencap of my daily wordcount chart

Oooooo! Yours is more complex. Mine just has the date, the total wordcount, and the daily total. Sometimes I set weekly goals and would track if I met them in a fourth and fifth column.
Ah! It’s sort of like the session goals you can set up in Scrivener. I can tell it that I want to write 500 words, and it will keep a little counter with a progress bar going, showing me how I’m doing on that goal. I can adjust it longer if I have more time.

*nods* I’m generally tracking, as you can tell, at least two projects in any given day.
*nods* Having one large project does simplify some things. Other things, like finishing, are another story. Your system is more colorful!
On days with an hourly wordcount goal, I have a little hourly chart, so each hour has the end wordcount for that story. Colorcoding helps.
*blinks* Hourly? Wow, you’re impressive.
Issh? I divide things up into tiny blocks; on the weekends, esp., I don’t write every hour.

*nods* yes.
