If you've been writing for longer than a month, you know that there is way too much to learn about writing. And, as you keep writing, and keep learning, you start to realize that the learning never stops.
This can energize you, or it can enervate you.
If you're procrastinating on a writing task, or aren't writing as much as you could, chances are that writing is enervating you.
Read "The Future of the Future: Learning fast to stay relevant in a flat world" and use the checklists:

How will I know if I'm successful?
What knowledge do I need to get what I want done, and where can I get it?
What help do I need?
You'll be amazed at the effect this has.
