With all that hoopla around NaNoWriMo 2015, everyone held it their duty to share writing tricks and advice with others. Grammarly wasn't an exception, sharing one tip per day during those thirty days of November.

With two duplicates, we have 28 advice as a result. Do you agree with them all? Or, a better question is, do you implement ALL of them?
P.S. I use only six of them. Shame on me. Or... Maybe not :)
I think those are all good ideas that people should pick from what will help them and leave alone what won't.
Except for getting a good chair. Everyone should stand. (Joking, but kind of not).
At work, we have desks that rise and lower. So you can work standing up or sitting down. It's amaze-balls.
^Fighting the bean counters to get one myself...
So, why is micro goals in there twice?
