These people created stimuli that are supposed to sound like the steps between a Proto-Germanic monophthong and the corresponding Old English diphthong, i.e., the x-axis is the degree of monophthongization to dipthongization. They then made listeners judge whether they heard a dipthong or monophthong (after som training).

Honestly so many things. Kudos, comments, and the thought that I may eventually be published. But the most accessible motivation I have right now is my Excel spreadsheet. I've tried the tracking apps and add-ons before, but I can't be as consistent as the apps want me to be, so I end up with large sections left blank. With my own spreadsheet, I can delete the void data from days I didn't write anything, leaving us with the line graph above.

I input all the information, and usually work out the blue line values by getting a word count for my entire document, and subtracting the value I last inputted. It's ridiculously simple and I would recommend it to everyone tbh. You can do it by one-shot word count (as I've done here), by single chapter, multi-chapter, series, or any combination really.

Unfortunately, my stats don't have time spent represented in the graphs yet. I'm tempted to include it with my next set of stats though, as I usually redraft and edit my fics a bit before I do anything with them. For example, the count in the middle of about 100 words actually took a good hour or so, but the count is lower because I spent it deleting and rephrasing stuff.
