Norton Juster Quote

There’s lots to do; we have a very busy schedule—— At 8 o’clock we get up, and then we spend From 8 to 9 daydreaming. From 9 to 9:30 we take our early midmorning nap. From 9:30 to 10:30 we dawdle and delay. From 10:30 to 11:30 we take our late early morning nap. From 11:30 to 12:00 we bide our time and then eat lunch. From 1:00 to 2:00 we linger and loiter. From 2:00 to 2:30 we take our early afternoon nap. From 2:30 to 3:30 we put off for tomorrow what we could have done today. From 3:30 to 4:00 we take our early late afternoon nap. From 4:00 to 5:00 we loaf and lounge until dinner. From 6:00 to 7:00 we dillydally. From 7:00 to 8:00 we take our early evening nap, and then for an hour before we go to bed at 9:00 we waste time. As you can see, that leaves almost no time for brooding, lagging, plodding, or procrastinating, and if we stopped to think or laugh, we’d never get nothing done.
