BEST MOMENTS

"This is a really, really difficult thing to do, but it's totally worth it. It's a form of just activity tracking. Now, some of you will probably do this already, but there'll be a very, very small proportion of the audience."

"So if you rate your activities every half an hour or so, just put a dot in the relevant column and a very brief comment to the left to say what you're doing, then you can whittle away the things that aren't good."

"I, Neil Cowmeadow, hereby swear my solemn oath to insulate myself from other people's shrieking need for my attention, my time and my energy. I recognise that the crisis of their indolence and stupidity is not my problem."
