While re-watching Hugh Grant in “About a Boy” the other day,
I noticed a quote that hadn’t meant much to me before now: “I find the key is
to think of a day as units of time, each unit consisting of no more than thirty
minutes. Full hours can be a little bit intimidating and most activities take
about half an hour. Taking a bath: one unit, watching "Countdown:" one unit, web-based
research: two units, exercising: three units, having my hair carefully
disheveled: four units. It's amazing how the day fills up, and I often wonder,
to be absolutely honest, if I'd ever have time for a job; how do people cram
them in?” Okay, until they reopen all the beauty salons and barber shops, you’re
stuck with carefully disheveling your own hair. But other than that, this list still
works. What will you be doing with all your units today?
