If you work, “work is not the word,” Jessup said. Then, by foot-by-foot you achieve physical exertion. “Yes, to contrapossto,” Jessup began, “the counter balance is achieved because of bifurcated work and non-work; anti-work and asym-work.” What this work amounts to is a double step.

One more day. I owe this to myself. If I think this way I’ll finish on-time. Always. Take the steps necessary to prepare. Lay it out in order, like silverware: from vegetables to desert. Think the hardest last, the softest first. I’ll be thanked later. Of course. [...]
