That's the thing about having a todo list that's the right length. By not getting around to it, you can avoid wasting lots of time with stuff that comes and goes in a flash. I remember someone told me I should learn about CORBA 10+ years ago. I'm glad I didn't get around to it.
Brilliant!
No one gets everything done that could be done.
The difference between winners and losers is knowing what to leave undone.
Or being just the right kind of lazy so that time decides it for you.
