If you want something done, ask a busy person.

I have just handed in my last piece of work for the Open University for this academic year. I am now feeling impatient for my next module. What am I doing now, in that line? Nothing, you may think. Wrong! I am writing a letter to myself: I am writing a contribution to my familly’s annual journal: I have to arrange for my studies for next year:I have to busy myself like the insect with the proverbially coloured bottom.

Why do I have to do this – I am a busy person now – at least by my standards.
