``. . . anyone can do any amount of work, provided it isn't the work he is supposed to be doing at that moment."--Robert Benchley, in Chips off the Old Benchley
Funny quote and oh so true. I used Twitter today to put off the writing and editing I was supposed to be doing.
I like your advice about breaking the large task down into smaller chunks. I could have done 5 minutes here and there between tweets and been that much further ahead.
