    Time to get serious. Nov will be 'Finish my book proposal month'. I'll appreciate any messages of encouragement, any accountability hacks, and any incentive systems you may offer. Every day I fail to make significant progress, I'll post a work of ugly Modernist art as penance.

        Maybe http://you.re  not that interested in writing that book. Write another book about whatever it is that keeps you away from writing the initially planned book.

        I’m glad we’ve established that booze is the answer, and are now homing in on the specific one.

        I'll say you the word of encouragement. Your books on evolutionary psychology gave me the key to new understanding of human,human society and the essense of the processes which drive the whole system now and in the past.That key was priceless.Not me but all of us need your books.

        1)From my humble experiece: When I get a work that is too big and complicated to discourage me, I try to do it by small portions often even not systematically connected.And oftenly do http://pauses.Now  I'v done this, now - that.Yeserday this, today that.

        @StefMNicholas Dr. Miller was raised Lutheran and thus thinks it’s ok to do something intrinsically evil like share pictures of modernist art as a penance.

        I have found my best days are sleeping 10:30-4:30. It seems being awake before the rest of the world seems to allow one to get a lot done.

        Here's a tip from @veschwab: whenever you write a certain amount, put a sticker on a calendar. It will incentivize you to earn more stickers.
