Colleagues are like - "have you don't that yet" and I'm like - "D'oh" thinking that I've done everything I needed to. lol It ultimately comes down to the individual, some are better tham others at multitasking.

The video is titled "Power Over People: Classical and Modern Political Theory". Anyone interested in political theory should get it.
