My mother told me: never discuss religion or politics. That is about all I talk about.
I read a couple unrelated blogposts today which, of course, I am piecing together in my mind. They do have something, both of them, to do with productivity. Productivity is something I am interested in at the moment. Should I list the posts in the order that I read them? Why would I do that? … it really doesn’t really matter.
