A college friend said their rule was, "I want to finish a paper in time to SLEEP at least a few hours before I go hand it in."
(This was back when "turn it in" meant "walk across campus to the professor's mailbox.")
This concept boggled me.

My aunt had bad dementia, and outbreaks of shingles.
Imagine that you wake - feel excruciating pain - have no memory of what it is - and get restrained because you're tearing up your skin.
I got the shot as soon as they'd let me, and later the improved shots, and I'm damned grateful for them.

Richard Saul Wurman is one of my Household Gods, a creator of Information Architecture. His pattern-seeking brain was revolutionary in the 1980s; his design skills add ease and value to his words and diagrams.
His explanations can help neurotypical folks get MUCH better at many important skills!
