One Thing: 07/02/24
Sivers says he wrote 16 hours/day for the last 4 years to compile a first draft of the book that was 1300+ pages. Then he spent 2 years editing the book down to 8% of its original size—only 112 pages

Summary of Derek Sivers book “How to Live“ by BY KYLE KOWALSKI
I cannot fathom doing something like this. I self-edit, sometimes painstakingly, to find my excesses, or for clarity. I nitpick as much as anybody.
But to write 1300 pages. roughly 325,000 words, then to whittle it down to 125 pages? What did he do in writing? Fall asleep on his keyboard?
Sheesh.
Thanks for sharing!
