How I Tricked Myself Into Being Awesome
Jerry Seinfeld used this exact technique to become a great comic. As told by software developer Brad Isaac when he asked Jerry for career advice[0]:<p><i>He told me to get a big wall calendar that has a whole year on one page and hang it on a prominent wall. The next step was to get a big red magic marker.</i><p><i>He said for each day that I do my task of writing, I get to put a big red X over that day. "After a few days you'll have a chain. Just keep at it and the chain will grow longer every day. You'll like seeing that chain, especially when you get a few weeks under your belt. Your only job next is to not break the chain."</i><p><i>"Don't break the chain," he said again for emphasis.</i><p>[0] <a href="http://lifehacker.com/281626/jerry-seinfelds-productivity-secret" rel="nofollow">http://lifehacker.com/281626/jerry-seinfelds-productivity-se...</a>
