It seems unlikely that we're going to hit the target of having Chapter 1 done a week from today, especially for anyone who wants to do all the exercises. Time to recalibrate? Ass-kicking makes sense only if there are slack resources that haven't been allocated to this, but could be. Is that your case? What do you think would make a difference? One idea that occurred to me is a buddy system wherein two people would agree to nag each other and perhaps review answers to exercises, or at least confirm that they were done. Another is to leverage public commitment somehow. If I promise to do something, and don't do it, I feel bad. Let's not forget the power of the forces we're up against. :)
