I should really write my novel.

I need clean my windows. And laundry is a good idea today. Do I have all my documents for the DMV? What should I make for dinner? Oh, that's a good idea for another novel.

Don't they have signs saying "no selfie sticks" or some such?

Can't count how many temples I've been in that have signs restricting photography and all the tourists taking pictures.

The days of Foxconn in Shenzhen. I remember when the government forced the company to install netting to prevent jumping from the high floors.
