Episode description

Steve Krug is the author of the book Don’t Make Me Think. He’s rewritten the book three times, and so far, it’s sold over 600,000 copies.

During the interview, I got into why he decided to rewrite the book several times and how the book helped him build a business around writing technical non-fiction for his audience.

Steve also talks to me about what he’s up to these days and gives some valuable tips for overcoming problems in the creative process like procrastination and writer’s block.

Listening to Steve is reassuring as it shows that writers of all levels have issues with procrastination and motivation.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • The best approach for setting up a new website today
  • How Steve came to write his book
  • What Steve is writing today
  • Using the Getting Things Done methodology 
  • How procrastination has been an ongoing problem for Steve
  • The books that have significantly influenced him.
