NaNo Worksheet: Get Yours Now

Every month I make a writing goals worksheet, and NaNo month is certainly no exception. I also have transformed it into a PDF version which is available here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByKmSBhOQ1FSSDE3T2Izb25yRDQ/edit?usp=sharing

The rules I went by: NaNoWriMo has a goal of 50000 words in 30 days. I planned on taking the Sabbath off. Subtracting the 4 Sundays you'd need to write 1924 words every writing day. (If you keep a Saturday or Friday Sabbath, there are 5 days off which means you have to write 2000 words each working day.)

The work sheet has a column in which the total word count for the day is given. The next column is to write each day's actual final word count. The wider 3rd column is for jotting down the word count after each writing session, since one often has several writing sessions a day during NaNo.

It's actually fairly easy to make up a worksheet like this with your word processing software, but not everyone has learned to do this yet and so I thought I'd share my version.

Questions: Do you have any system, like my worksheet, to keep track of your daily word counts? What's your method like? Does it work well for you?
