My sister was bemoaning the fact that she had procrastinated
cleaning and organizing her house for a long time. Since she
was planning to entertain, she felt a lot of pressure to get
moving. That afternoon she phoned, sounding glum.
“I went to the bookstore,” she explained. “And I bought a
book on how to get organized. I was all fired up, and decided
to clean out all the shelves in the living room. While I was
working, I found the same darn book. I had bought it a couple
of years ago.”
