"When I think of the vast sea of to-do lists I've written over the past 20 years ... I'm struck by the utter futility of this incessant compulsion to accomplish stuff."
Don't worry about accomplishment; about doing the right things instead of doing things right; about finding your creative time and defending it ruthlessly; about organizing your life; about what you would like to be written on your tombstone: television is there to help you believe that time is never lost, and to help relegate those productive thoughts to the back of your mind, where they belong. Just keep watching TV!
