Productivity App of the month

Productivity can become even more of a must-have in the early months, as managers try to make up for any lost time brought on by the festive season. So what tools out there can help this cause?

January: Write Or Die

What’s the big idea?
Let’s imagine you’ve got a pitch to write. Or a report. Maybe some copy? Your word count is set, but you’d rather Tweet than reduce your to-do list by 140 characters. Write Or Die makes the choice for you - the longer you leave your work unchanged, more and more words disappear!



And…Why is that a good thing?
Write or Die places an emphasis on getting your thoughts down then editing carefully, rather than fudging a presentation together at the last minute. You can set deadlines and even alter the severity of your punishments in order to shape your writing around your day. Although your work needs to be done via the App, once you’ve finished everything’s exportable to DropBox or text editing software.

Who might get the most out of it?
Unsurprisingly, Write or Die is aimed at writers. But it’s a highly transferrable tool because writing is integral to so many jobs. So, unless you’re a rally driver, a snake charmer or a database junkie, the chances are you’ll find this App can help you out. Or it’ll die trying…
