В моём таск-менеджере сейчас больше пятидесяти пунктов, которые начинаются не с «сделать», а с «получить от…».Документы от заказчиков, результаты от разработчиков, поручения трём личным ассистентам и даже путеводитель от девушки – всё это нужно не выполнять самому, а вовремя проверять и напоминать.

"That was pulled out of my ass number, obviously."
