I want to be successful. I want people to listen to me. I want to have an audience. What to do? Keep hacking at it. Just sit with it. It's like meditating, sometimes you just have to sit with it. Good things yield themselves after time, like good conversation. Silences come, but good, deep things come as well. And these timeboxing, etc. techniques help in keeping one interested, and keeping one willing to sit and listen.
