In 1829 the writer Victor Hugo of Pisces began work on his novel Notre-Dame de Paris, but he had other projects underway and by September 1830 he had made little progress. Increasingly impatient, his publisher asked him to finish it by February 1831. Hugo barricaded himself in his room to meet the deadline and locked his clothes in a closet to resist the temptation to go out. For five months he worked tirelessly and succeeded in the enterprise! In the coming weeks, I recommend that you find a slightly less rigid ploy to bring about self-discipline. I think you can take strict measures without giving up on having fun.
