This looks like a really nice way to write a book, or in fact any other large body of work.
It avoids the monolithic todo list item - 'write book', and breaks things up into manageable chunks.

Archimedes taught us that a small quantity added to itself often enough becomes a large quantity (or, in proverbial terms, every little bit helps). When it comes to accomplishing the bulk of the world’s work, and, in particular, when it comes to writing a book, I believe that the converse of Archimedes’ teaching is also true: the only way to write a large book is to keep writing a small bit of it, steadily every day, with no exception, with no holiday. A good technique, to help the steadiness of your rate of production, is to stop each day by priming the pump for the next day. What will you begin with tomorrow? What is the content of the next section to be; what is its title?
