On Deadlines
What we need more than anything are deadlines. Deadlines have a way of orientating us, lifting the fog surrounding our creative endeavors and stripping us of the bullshit that fuels our procrastination.

Review of 'Drive', by Daniel Pink
I was reluctant to read this, based on it’s description. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a fan of Daniel Pink and his last book Whole New Mind - he helped me make the shift from a design engineer whose job would eventually be outsourced to a filmmaker.
