Imagine the gas in a balloon is your "workload". We assume a minimum "sustaining" pressure keeps the balloon's size and surface area constant, as the internal pressure and external pressure are in equilibrium. When you add pressure (blow a puff of air into the balloon), the change in pressure to every point inside the balloon is equal. Inside the balloon (similar to having a to-do list wtih many, many items) there are millions of molecules, each exerting identical (average) Force against the inside of the balloon. I think of my worload as this sort of system, since the goal is to grow the overall volume and size of the balloon over time... rather than to drive a pin through it -- In this way, all "projects" are equal and their combined effect is both cumulative and complementary to the other projects. In practce, on Wednesday, I am molecule 23,067,567,789. On Friday, 786,899,367,201. Etc. Does that make sense? Sorry for the chatter.

As for the pic, it's a photochop that reflects my great love of the Lord of the Flies --
