Reddit mentions of The Spirit of Kaizen: Creating Lasting Excellence One Small Step at a Time

Well, I've watched a few different videos now on the 100 day Comic challenge. Along with that, I know I am not the only one, in fact.. just about every human has this problem. When confronted with a large 'challenge' there is an overwhelming fear of getting started, or dread of where to start. Our brains are actually wired to resist these 'big' tasks. Granted breaking it down to "30 minutes a day" is certainly a start.. you are still setting yourself up for "failure" from just being overwhelmed.

A couple GREAT books on this subject:
The Spirit of Kaizen
The War of Art

I mean, I've already bogged down into where to begin.. what to do.. and I haven't even committed to participating.

So what I would suggest, so that everyone can still work at their own pace, be productive and make visible progress.

Week 1: (at the end of the week you should have these items completed - ideally each one you will spend at least 30min a day on - more if you can/ need to)

• Main Character(s) Concept sketches
  
• Main Character(s) Concept finalize/ polish
  
• Rough Outline story Arc (est. page count)
  
• Refine outline for first few pages (Taking this from the Kevin Cross vid where one day was 4 pages written)
  
• There's certainly more that can be added.. but just tossing out some ideas...
  
  Week 2: Another set of 30+ min tasks..
  
  This way, there are clearly defined goals and deliverables that we KNOW we have to deliver daily/weekly.
  
  As to the google cal. It makes for a central scheduling thing.. not really a biggie as I've already tossed an event into my own calendar..
