How I Tricked Myself Into Being Awesome
Some people didn't get one main aspect of his point which is the 'tricking' part where he publicly committed himself to his daily work output goal.<p>I guess two problems with that are A) I am unfortunately not that "gullible" as far as believing that there will really be dire consequences if I don't produce a certain amount and B) as far as I know there is no public for me who would care if I suddenly declared that I was going to produce one new feature every day no matter what or whatever.  I have no twitter followers and no one ever really read my blogs and generally posts on sites like reddit are autobanned.  The closest I could do would be to go on Facebook and almost everyone on there is family.  They would probably react the way they usually do to my Facebook posts which is "wow, I forgot that guy was on Facebook? He is so weird" with an addition of "who cares".<p>Also, its easier to write one article a day than it is to say push a major feature per day.  Also it is easier to measure and break off writing goals than software goals.<p>I don't have a problem doing work every day, but I do feel like some days are vastly more productive than others.  Not sure what goal I could have per day other than X amount of hours of actual work.
