A modification to my new year's resolution

Change of tack - I have been under the weather and frankly somewhat depressed the last few days. I considered forcing myself to write LJ posts anyway, and decided that that really wasn't what I needed out of life.

Therefore I am going to instead aim to write 365 non-link/repost posts this year, and I shall keep track of that on a sem-regular basis.

That being the case - can anyone recommend one of those counter things that I can use once a week or so to show how well I'm getting along?
