Make it stop!

Last week I had three days left of research reading before I started writing this chapter. This week I only have four days. Wait—what?!? Yep, it is amazing how reading begets faster than an Old Testament patriarch. I know that at some point I have to stop reading and start writing—advice I give to students on a regular basis—but there always seems to be just one more article or book that begets several more of the same. 

My writing table already looks like this:






And I won't show you what's left.

So, what are you best strategies for stopping the reading and starting the writing? Other than reading fatigue (which I'm feeling today), how do you finally let go of the research and start doing your thing?
