Leo Babauta: secrets to writing an ebook in a week

To write an ebook in a week:

1. Choose a small topic.
2. Outline people’s problems quickly.
3. Copy & paste past writing you’ve done on those problems, if any, as research (don’t use the posts verbatim!).
4. Block off 3-4 days for writing only.
5. Close the fucking Internet.
6. Use a distraction-free writing tool, headphones & good music, and tea.
7. Write like crazy in 30-minute intervals. Get up, stretch, do some exercises, repeat.
