Comment on Why the last 20% of work takes the same amount of time as the first 80%

Comments

Wow I totally agree. And it's probably why I don't finish anything, because I am conditioned to expect it to be same work as earlier.

Not just for this, but almost everything.

The Paredo Time Principle?

Pareto Principle

The Pareto principle (also known as the 80–20 rule, the law of the vital few, and the principle of factor sparsity) states that, for many events, roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes.
