Check out this funny but helpful web application "Write or Die."
You can enter in the target number of words you'd like to write and the amount of time you want to spend, and then start typing away. If you spent too much time staring without moving those keys, dreaded consequences follow. You can set the program to how wicked you'd like those consequences to be (on evil mode it begins erasing what you've written), but I found the program to be in good fun. And when I tried it on a whim, I ended up typing over 250 words in just six minutes. Sure most of that was garbage, but if I did that several times a day, six days a week...
As a simple creature, I need all the tricks I can find.

That's hysterical! My experiment was just a goal of 100 words. I loved the fanfare when I hit my goal! It was a little sad that it felt so great, even when I had just typed a load of nonsense. I'm beginning to think those behaviorists might be onto something.
