On Writing: Paul J. Silvia Natalie Houston As summer is heavy-duty writing time for many academics, it also seems like a good time to revisit some favorite advice about writing. Thus the beginning of an occasional series of posts this summer on writing about writing. It's crucial to be able to measure your progress on a writing project in some way. Tracking your progress on any desired behavior or habit has been shown to improve your adoption of the new habit, simply from focusing your awareness of your behavior through your tracking mechanism. In order to track a behavior, you have to know what you're measuring. For many people, setting a word count as a daily target works very well as a measure of their writing habit, and motivation to keep making incremental progress.

Is This Still a Thing? Looking Back at Unroll.me Jason B. Jones ProfHacker has been writing posts for a long time now, and in addition to all the evergreen posts about writing and syllabus design and so forth, we've also covered a lot of tech. I've been kicking around the idea of an occasional series called "Is This Still a Thing?," in which I look back at an app, service, or gadget we've reviewed, and briefly update readers on its status. For one reason or another, I've dithered in getting this off the ground, but recent revelations about Unroll.me have smoothed the path. Four years ago, Brian plugged Unroll.me , a service that offered to scan your cloud-hosted email for subscriptions, and roll them up into a single daily message, called a roundup. Brian found that he had 180 [!] subscriptions, unsubscribed from a bunch, and rolled most of the rest into his ...
