🔥 Goal: Write a well-informed and well-researched book for developers in tech.

• Why do I want it?
  • This will be my legacy
  • This will help developers like me who want to grow in their careers
  • It will be my contribution to the community
• Where are the gaps?
  • I don’t know how to publish a book
  • I haven’t picked a topic yet
  • I haven’t started research yet
  • I haven’t compiled a list of people I want to interview, or what I want to ask them
• How can I measure progress?
  • The number of chapters I write
  • The percentage of book finished by end of year
  • The number of people I have interviewed for the book.
• What is the action I can take?
  • Compile a list of topics I am passionate about
  • Compile a list of topics my audience is interested in
  • Compile a list of people I want to interview
  • Compile a list of tech publishers
  • Find other people who have published a book
• What will come in my way?
  • Imposter Syndrome ← MAJOR
  • Lazy bum
  • Writer’s block
  • Lack of motivation
• How can I overcome these obstacles?
  • Imposter syndrome - write down a list of things I have accomplished so far, and testimonials received from people so far.
  • Lazy bum - find an accountability buddy who will help me stay on track
  • Writer’s block - find people who have written books before, and speak to them about writer’s block. Take a break and go out to somewhere in the woods where I feel recharged.
  • Lack of motivation - talk to my hype squad to hype me up
• Who can help me get there?
  • My hype squad - my cheer leader
  • My accountability buddy
  • My husband who always supports me
  • A publisher (need to find)
  • An experienced author (need to find)
• How will I reward myself?
  • Buy me a beautiful pen when I finish 3 chapters
  • Take me on a little vacation in the woods when I finish 50% of the book
  • Get me a writer’s desk when I publish the book
