Thanks for checking off that script requirement in this sequence.  When 
discussing such management issues on the we always get one or more 
postings following the template "my management oversight did/does what 
you are suggesting".

As always, individual anecdotes have nothing to do with patterns of 
concern.  It's not that they are untrue, it's that they are a single 
datum, which never explains or resolves a pattern.

Note, for example Ted Lemon's view that meaningful filtering isn't 
possible due to individual differences in defining an applying criteria.

All of this, of course, provides continuing comfort in taking no action 
to manage the week's time better.
