From a writer and performer described as “fiercely hilarious” by The New Yorker, a collection of absurd and intimate attempts to accomplish twenty-four pressing to-do items in an era of perpetual emergency and revolutionary possibility

We are all confronted with daunting tasks, each urgent in their own way.

• Act normal at a birthday party
• Honor Stonewall by having sex in the bathroom at Starbucks
• Assassinate a war criminal
• Log onto some new patient portal
• Seize state power once we decide if we want to seize state power
• Get a better attachment style
• Forgive people who are younger
• Don’t spend eleven hours on the phone

Every day more and more things to do. No wonder we are so overwhelmed!

To-do lists are the preferred genre of all sorts of people seeking control in a chaotic world. And yet they sadly do not ensure we’ll actually get to all the unfinished business that keeps on piling up. In To Do ASAP, comedian and organizer Morgan Bassichis takes action.

As Morgan tackles twenty-four of their own outstanding tasks, they invite all of us to B.Y.O. loose ends and imperfect selves to the messy collective work of building the world we long for.
