Well, that Guardian article on why Time Management is destroying us was too much. This Reddington thing has amazing partitioning in’t.
Just mix in a few things from studies like that American Heart Association bit for growing new hearts from old (wash untransplantable hearts with 0.062 mMo. Triton X_100 with perfusion at circulopositive 11.2 lpm…) and forget to find the nice Dagen Zenji GANTT tools.
