There is story told of a man who decides it’s time to fix the hole in his fence, so he goes to get the tools he needs to complete the task. Along the way, he notices that a door has come off its hinges. He examines the hinge, determining that it’s bent. So he decides he had better buy a new one and goes to find his car keys for a trip to the hardware store. Along the way to doing this, his wife reminds him that the bathroom faucet is still leaking, so he heads back downstairs to get the necessary tools, remembering that he purchased the parts to fix that leaking faucet a couple of weeks ago. Along the way to getting the tools for this project, the man notices his dog looking at him expectantly, which reminds him that he hasn’t walked the dog for a couple of days. It’s a beautiful day outside, so he decides he’ll squeeze in a short walk with the family dog. As he is walking the dog a few blocks away from home, the man thinks to himself, Now what do I need to do when I get back home?
