Okay everyone, I found a few sites that offer some good advice/tidbits in regard to goal buddies/buddy system:

What are your thoughts after reading these articles?  Any suggestions on what would work best for you?

Yes! Distractions, too, is also a huge obstacle. Although, if I try to get in at least half an hour before bed - that at least got me that much done in one day as oppose to none at all. I find that having a routine helps, too. Although, sticking to the routine is also another factor, haha. How does one find a good and goal partner?

I can understand that completely!   A lot of my problem is that I have so many distractions I have a difficult time focusing on making time for my writing.  When I don't write, I get frustrated at myself.  It's a constant cycle that I find myself in even though I know better.

This is a fantastic idea - motivation is my main struggle. Sometimes having that added pressure of reporting to someone else that you've made progress makes all the difference. Sometimes you need someone to tell you, "Chop, chop. C'mon, stop messing around and get it done."

Hmm, I don't think I ever heard of that particular software before but here are a few sites that offered their reviews for the software.

I'd be curious to hear more about this though. 

Hello again Goal Buddies, 

I would appreciate some help! I would like to know if any of you have used the writing software Scriviner and if so what was your opinion?
