How to write an article in one night

1. Resolve not to remove bum from desk chair. Use duct tape if necessary.
2. Disable all networking applications such as IM, facebook, and email.
3. Turn off phone and cell phone.
4. Just start typing. Do 100 words.
5. Eat 2 Starbucks chocolate coated coffee beans.
6. Type 100 more words.
7. Eat 2 more chocolate covered coffee beans.
8. Repeat steps 6 & 7 as neccessary until article is completed, by which time you will have consumed 34 chocolate covered coffee beans and sleep will be the farthest thing from your mind.

Disclaimer: Not recommended for every day usage. If symptoms persist, reorganize your life.

So that's how you do it? I wonder if that would work for other projects? :)

Great advice... except what do I do if I don't like coffee beans? ;-)
