We are all guilty of this at some stage. We spend months dreaming up elaborate projects that avoid the real work.

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
