Allen admits that much of his basic recipe is common sense. Free your mind, and productivity will follow. Break down projects and goals into discrete, definable actions, and you won't be bothered by all those loose threads pulling at your attention. First make decisions about what needs to get done, and then fashion a plan for doing it. If you've cataloged everything you have to do and all your long-term goals, Allen says, you're less likely to wake up at 3 a.m. worrying about whether you've forgotten something: "Most people haven't realized...

And people love it; they come back year after year to sit in their seats and be offended, to enjoy the comic material that would be edited from primetime and bleeped out on basic cable. Even matinees (which boast a median age of around 63) contain audiences filled with senior citizens trying to maintain straight faces while Travierso and Ingber strike some obscenely sexual poses I hope I never see from actual siblings...
