I apologize. I misspoke. Let me rephrase that.

Those of us who like organizing can spend more time setting up the perfect
system to track "to dos" than it would take to get them all done, with the

therefore can't do that. It is probably the only thing she can't do, but she
says she can't do that, and she should know.
