Although there are many notable examples of successful writers who were known—at least in part—for their laziness, examples of people who were successful as a direct result of their diligence abound in a wide range of disciplines. Michael Jordan, for example, is widely regarded as one of the greatest basketball players of all time. During his career, he was known for his unrelenting competitiveness and attention to detail. Among authors, Ray Bradbury was known for writing one short story every week—an astounding rate of production. And many other successful authors have set page quotas and strict schedules for themselves. So, while devaluing productivity may have worked for some, focusing intently on it has worked for many others.
