A four-panel SMBC comic titled "How to organize your life." Step 1: "Make a list" shows a sheet of paper reading: 1. Don't repeat mistakes, 2. Start eating healthy, 3. Exercise, 4. Don't stay out late. Step 2: "Break all the tasks into little separate tasks" shows a person staring at a paper as an enormously long list spills out onto the floor. Step 3: "Mistake your sudden anxiety for a need to realign everything" shows the person shouting wide-eyed, "I've got to live for me!" Step 4: "Enjoy a brief period of hedonistic apathy" shows the person lying sprawled amid scattered junk, saying, "I can't believe I slept with my ex and drove drunk and ate Taco Bell." The joke: self-improvement spirals into anxiety-fueled self-destruction. Votey (aftercomic): titled "Step 5: Die," showing the person lying dead with X's for eyes.
