Interesting, but the hard part of this is really knowing what is and isn't important.

For instance, in the article he talks about how he "has" to publish his reading list at the start of the summer and how he puts it off a couple of months because he thinks it isn't really important. That's nice, but maybe the students who want to sort out their books or even do some reading over the summer and the hard working people in the admin office and bookshop disagree. "I got almost daily reminders from the department secretary; students sometimes asked me what we would be reading;" Sounds like his procrastinating on this caused problems for others.
