Writing a book doesn’t come with a progress bar.
In this live, in-class conversation, Dan Pink explains why long projects feel so disorienting, how writers lose their sense of momentum, and what actually keeps people motivated over months and years.
He shares how his research into motivation shaped his own writing habits, why routines matter more than inspiration, and the simple end-of-day ritual he uses to stay grounded in progress.
This episode is especially helpful for writers and creators who feel stuck in the middle of big projects and need a clearer way to measure forward motion.
