Summary

I was finalizing this book, while juggling the usual frenzy of the end of the academic year. On a Saturday morning, I ordered bagels for my kids for breakfast through a phone delivery app, hoping to gain a few hours to write. After I placed the order, I received a confirmation text with an estimated delivery time. Twenty minutes later, as I settled down to work, I received another text letting me know my order was on the way. Then the doorbell rang, and the bagels arrived. I placed the bagels in the kitchen and sat down at my desk again, attempting to write. At that point I received a third text notifying me that my order had arrived. Every time a text arrived, I picked up my phone automatically and, without noticing, clicked on a few more apps. Despite my best efforts, I started work an hour later than intended that morning.
