People who are seeking motivation in their daily lives (or need encouragement in the face of a big project or period of change). We want to live fuller lives. We want to feel alive and as though we're spending our time on the people, commitments, tasks, and work that matters most to us.

In Do It Today, you will learn how to:

• Go toward your nerves
• Start before you’re ready
• Embrace percolation over productivity
• Find stamina and courage to keep going
• Recover after rejection
• Weave a web of community
• Share your wealth

Do It Today is a generous, empathetic, and accessible guide combining short essays, prompts, and open-ended questions that will inspire action. You will read, feel motivated, then put down this book and move. Inventively designed to give the reader space to dream and plan. Why start tomorrow when you can start today?
