"This is explicitly a focusing effort for me. I could write a $20M check myself, but knowing that other people’s money is on the line engenders a greater sense of discipline and determination. I had talked about that as a possibility for a while, and I am glad Nat pushed me on it,” he said

makes a lot of sense. You might write the 20 mil check yourself and then take a day off here, another one there, soon you'll be working 4 days a week.
