Attempting to run errands was a mistake. Glad I didn't go into work today.
Reddit/digg etc seem to be dominated by posts about cults these days. I'm not sure if the scientology or the gtd folks scare me more. If I could figure out how to sell e-meters to productivity types, I could make a fortune. Maybe something once I clear off the todo list.
