A 50 year old to-do hack for the busy

There’s a lot going on. Not only is there a lot going on, but there’s a lot going on about what’s going on. There's going ons about the goings on.

It sounds like a Dr. Seuss book.

But Robert Moses had a solution. And he was a busy guy.

No one had a larger role in sculpting the face of a place than Robert Moses in New York. Through the 1920s-1960s. Moses was responsible for building Shea Stadium, Lincoln Center, the West Side Highway, and many smaller infrastructure projects. If there was someone who got a lot done with a lot going on, it was him.

And it was all thanks to a table.

Moses’s biographer wrote, “since a table has no drawers there was no place to hide papers; there was no escape from nagging problems or a difficult-to-answer letter except to get rid of it one way or another.”

There’s a lot going on - now even more than in Robert’s reign. Don’t let things pile up in those drawers.
