"Why can't the rest of you be more like Rollins, here? He does his homework!"

"I spent all day learning productivity hacks"

Things-to-do-today: Daily workboxes piled up on desk.

"Good" "Bad" "Work on it" "Keep working - maybe it's not as bad as you think it is" "Put it to a committee" "Give up" "Make it worse" "Make it better" "Still a bad idea" "Overthink it" "Throw yourself into a pit of wild badgers" "Throw it away" "Call it done" "Sigh."

"Meanwhile, obsessing about productivity is way up."

"Brandon isn't adapting well to the open office concept."

Your computer has every alert, alarm and reminder possible...enough with the sticky notes!!!
