Law of Procrastination

Post by Din »

Finally, all those of you who keep stating that you're going to start shooting "sometime" (are you listening Colin Kaminsky and Bob Hess?), you now can refer to an Universal Law of Procrastination as justifying why you haven't got around to shooting anything yet!

Actually, I think I came up with this several years ago, when I had to lead a discussion group on Popper's Epistemology. I called it the Dinesh corollary to Parkinson's Law:

Parkinson's law: Work expands to fit the time available for it
Dinesh Corollary: 90% of the work is done in the last 10% of the time available.


(Yeah, yeah, yeah! "How many holographers does it take to change a lightbulb? 10, 1 to change the bulb, and 9 to say, 'I thought of that years ago!")

It's good to be a theoretician. You can always say "I'm thinking about it. After all, it's my job!"
