To Do List

Important Trumps Urgent

By Paul A. MerkleyPublished 2 months ago • 1 min read

This proven, practical productivity

Software, this

Lovely logiciel gone viral

Promises prompt progress for a

Footloose procrastinator

Like me

You see;

It enjoins me

To principiate the day not

With the task that is most urgent.

But instead

With the one that's most important.

And what could be more

Important than

Playing hide and seek

With my cat

Slipping behind the painting leaning

Atop my red dresser?
