He wrote a book “Pieces of My Mind” that had one of the funniest essays I ever read about a morning where he set out to accomplish many things, and got thwarted, distracted, etc. and never got anything done.
I wish I still had that book.
He was describing a day where he made a “Things to do list” and the first item was to split some firewood. He got his axe, but the blade felt dull so he decided to sharpen it. However, his sharpening wheel had a wobble, so he needed to disassemble it, dropped a special screw behind his workbench, went to the hardware store to get another screw .... (it went on and on with one simple thing leadding to a thousand more things to do). Very funny the way he wrote it.

You can probably find a fresh copy in the nearest second-hand bookshop. That's where I found my replacement!I wish I still had that book.
