Utterly Failing to Get Things Done Here's how sadly, mindlessly mechanical I've become in my devotion to the Getting Things Done cult: This morning, I was in the shower and noticed that the little caddy that holds my soap and the six million bottles of various lotions that Joanne uses was a little worse-for-wear, rusted and old. So I tried to reach into my pocket and get my phone, to make a note to buy a new one. ★
