Hofstadter's Law (HELP!, part 2)

from More To Learn

You might've heard of Parkinson's Law, how tasks expand to fill the time alloted to them. Well this is Parkinson's on steroids. Hofstadter's Law says that: any task you're planning to complete will always take longer than expected, even when Hofstadter's Law is taken into account. It's a viscious cycle that feeds on itself - even when you expect a task to take longer than you expected, it exceeds your expectations and takes even longer still!
