Jonathan Mann, famous for his song-a-day project recently made this video1 telling the story of Jack Dolsen, a guy who decided to parody Jonathan’s work. Instead of making a song a day, he would find a new excuse every day for not singing.
What’s funny is that, making excuses for not doing something everyday takes as much time as just doing it. I won’t spoil the ending of the video, but it teaches a great lesson that any kind of creative person should learn.
