Ponder for Firefox

Keeping a diary can be a strenuous job, especially when you are tired or are in a bad mood. Ponder for Firefox aims to offer you the motivation you need to write at least a few thoughts every day.

You need to start by entering your name and, optionally, your email address if you want to store your data online so you don't lose it if your PC crashes.

Next, you need to select the mode that best suits you, depending if you want to enter short or long answers. For the first category, you can choose between daily productivity, daily lists and daily reflection.

If you are willing to invest more time and energy, Ponder offers creative, self-reflection and free write modes.

To ensure nobody misses the reminders displayed by the extension, Ponder replaces the default new tab page with its own questions.

Since most people are bound to go with the short answers at first, the addon packs several default questions meant to serve as inspiration and motivation altogether. You also have the possibility to take a break of you do not feel like filling in an answer at the time being.

To encourage you to write more, you can track your progress by analyzing how many words you wrote each day for the past week, so you are motivated to keep up the work.

To sum things up, Ponder can help you get a clear picture of the good things in your life even when they are not so obvious at first sight. You can also use it to increase your self-esteem or get a clear view of your goals, whereas dedicated users can start working on a complex journal that is always protected from nosy people due to its passcode.
