Hofstadter’s law states that it usually takes longer to accomplish the task than expected even if you consider the time allowance before.

Most of the time, we are not able to finish even half of the work that we have mentioned in the list. The root cause of the problem here is we focus more on the to do list or what we want to do rather than what we are currently doing. Firstly, it is better to analyze exactly how we are spending our time with. Then we can try to reduce the time in those not so important things and even can ignore certain things.
