Richard, I'd like you to meet productivity. Productivity, meet Richard.
I thought I would start this week off with a change...waking up before 10.
Truth be told, I usually wake up before 1o. Heck, I usually wake up before 6. Last week, I just succumbed to every mopey impulse to roll over and go back to sleep.
But not today. No sir. I forced myself out of bed before 7 and that, my septuagenarian friends, was the secret to productivity.
I breezed through my Solow powerpoints before lunch. I deposited money into my checking account. I went out for lunch in 100 degree heat. And by 5, I was done revising my job market paper to be sent off for publication. Once that thing is off my desk, I will be a much happier person...at least until the rejection letter comes.
What? California doesn't have a budget yet, you say? No problem, I'll have it done by 7.
What? Israel and Palestine don't have a peace agreement? No problem, that's what the 7-8 hour is for.
What? Our President can't add past 18 because he runs out of fingers and toes and always forgets the little ones? No problem, I have plenty of time to make up flashcards.
Oh wait, you need to drill concrete under my office. And you are going to make how much noise? Gotcha.
Well, it was fun while it lasted.
