I write a new chapter, you get a new chapter. Every day.

​I struggle with bringing my work into the world as much as the next person. Still, I've managed to write a best-selling book (top 20 on all of Amazon), bring productivity features to Google Calendar with the help of behavioral scientist Dan Ariely, and produce a weekly podcast with guests like James Altucher, and Jason Fried.

I'm going to use the very strategies and tactics I share in Getting Art Done to actually write the book. I'm sticking my neck out and putting my reputation on the line as a form of Motivational Judo. Through creative habits, and through self-imposed rules and rituals, I'm committing to writing and delivering – right to your inbox – a new chapter (about 250–500 words) every weekday.

I've written about some of these ideas before, but I'll be starting from scratch every morning. Honestly, I'm terrified! But, it's all in the name of Getting Art Done.
