“The secret of my incredible energy and efficiency
in getting work done is a simple one. I have based it very deliberately on a
well-known psychological principle and have refined it so that it is now almost
too refined. I shall have to begin coarsening it up again pretty soon.
“The psychological principle is this: anyone can do
any amount of work, provided it isn't the work he is supposed to be doing at
that moment.”—American humorist and actor Robert Benchley (1889-1945), Chips Off the Old Benchley (1949)
