Nick's book

I'm sure he'll be embarrassed that I'm mentioning it, but Nick has just published a very interesting book on productivity techniques.

http://www.nickwinter.net/the-motivation-hacker

I've just finished it and really enjoyed it. There are a number of great pieces of advice on how to be more productive, but I think it'd also be an interesting read for Skritter users as it talks about how the company was formed and gives some insight into the personalities behind the avatars.

Wow, this book looks awesome. I just read the intro in the link.
Congratulations Nick! I bet there is a ton I could learn from you

Looks very interesting, just downloaded and looking forward to checking it out.

Enjoyed the opening - just bought it!

It's the sort of thing I've thought about a lot learning Chinese, and I could certainly learn a few tricks from Nick!

Ah, just seeing this now! Thanks for the props, all. Hope it can help you out.

It should be in the iBookstore soon, but it takes a while for them to process it. I can post here when I notice it has arrived there.
