People are perverse.
If we tell people
we’re busy,
they are more likely
to ask us
to do something for them
than
take tasks off
our to-do lists
or leave us
the f*ck
alone.
My trick is…
I ask people
to do things for me.
Because most people are also lazy.
They don’t want to do more.
So they are
likely to avoid me
until they actually get around
to completing the task.
That gives me
alone time
(usually about a week)
to get things done.
