Do You Have a Wood Target and You're Writing?

I'm often struck by my former profession of academia. A lot of the most productive academics were not those who would finish things in a flurry for the deadline. I think about it more as what do I have to write today? So I break all my books down into smaller pieces and then I'm just working on that small piece until it's done. There's a great writing rule I love with just a couple crappy pages a day. Like if you're just making some forward progress every day, eventually you'll get there.
