Will Radio, Part II -- Upping the Difficulty

* anxiety for creating things: videos, books, etc.

* I've been relatively successful with talks, teaching, mentoring, and
  Google Hangouts videos because of immediacy and unavoidable
  deadlines

* I've been hopeless at making videos, writing books or technical
  notes, etc., on my own.  Everything must be perfect, so I never
  finish anything.

* Closers and the Cult of Done

* Space Shuttle simulator and training -- intentional overload

* factory mentality / Ed Wood's "My next one will be better!"

* 1 kiloTube Challenge

* turns out 1 kiloTube is way too easy

* how do I write a book???

* up the difficulty and speed!

* 11 finished books, each with a Creative Commons license, submitted to a publisher in 2024

* writing books will be recorded and posted on YT!

* first book will be on Strategies for Idiosyncratic and Creative Thinking
