  I couldn't finish this article but I wish the author published a book with all the articles. (I am less likely to procrastinate reading physical books :))

    You can go to B&N press and publish your own book for your personal use: https://press.barnesandnoble.com https://press.barnesandnoble.com Of course, you'd have to do some legwork of accumulating all these articles in a single PDF, and sizing the PDF according to the book size (can use online free utilities to do that). I have printed several books for my personal use and the pricing is quite reasonable. EDIT: Another similar service I have used is https://www.lulu.com https://www.lulu.com

  To get through education, I had to set a lot of fake deadlines to get the panic monster to kick in sooner: "oh no, I need to have the first 1,000 words written by today but I don't!" It works but it makes you miserable because you are always in panic mode.

    What? How does the monkey not know the deadline is fake?

      You only need to convince the panic monster. The monkey will be to afraid to do anything.

      Announcing it publicly can help.
