- Books That Are Never Done Being Written.“An e-book…is far different from an old-fashioned printed one. The words in the latter stay put.

The endless malleability of digital writing promises to overturn a whole lot of our assumptions about publishing.”
- Your Problem Isn’t Motivation.”Motivation is in the mind; follow-through is in the practice. Motivation is conceptual; follow-through is practical. In fact, the solution to a motivation problem is the exact opposite of the solution to a follow through problem. The mind is essential to motivation. But with follow through, it’s the mind that gets in the way.” [Thanks to Ronda McLean of Insight Life Stories for suggesting this item.]
