I thought that this week's
New Yorker Shouts & Murmurs essay was a good companion piece to last week's
New York Magazine article about distraction. Andy Borowitz really captures the new meaning of "quiet time."
"Whoever said that the early bird gets the worm could have been talking about me, only I’m a person, not a bird, and I’m not interested in getting worms, more like getting things done. But I do get up early. In fact, the secret to my success could be boiled down to three little words: my quiet time. It begins at 1 A.M., when I get out of bed, check my e-mail, brush my teeth, scan some documents, and floss."
