Whedon has acknowledged the ironic fact that he hasn’t finished Getting Things Done. And he has mentioned eating dessert first. So I must ask, “Is dessert a metaphor?” “No,” he replies. “No, I’m saying give me cake. Why didn’t you bring cake? Didn’t they explain how these things work?” And then he gets serious, more or less. “I have a reward system. I am the monkey with the pellet and it’s so bad that I write almost everything in restaurants or cafes [so] that when I have an idea, I go and get chocolate. He doesn’t wait to flesh out the idea and then reward himself, he rewards himself simply for having the idea. I’ll write it down and then get some chocolate. I have the idea, I get my pellet . -- Joss Whedon
