If we can manage our emotional relationships like we do business relationships, maybe we’d have less trouble. If we could organize all personal stuff like you do your work stuff, could we become emotionally productive?

I can’t wait to read how to apply “Getting Things Done” methods to one’s sex life! “…Hey baby, do you feel actionable tonight?”
