White collar madness

Just about everyone I know has a lot more undone work than they have hours available to do that work. That is, just about everyone in the white collar sector lives their lives with a mountain of undone work in front of them.

Imagine the joy of blue collar work; where there is no undone work left at the end of the day?

One impact of this undone work is that white collar workers are forever making choices as to which of the undone work is to be prioritised. Sometimes outside forces decide, sometimes not. But I am guessing that there are a lot business efficiencies won and lost in this process.
