The Inevitable Slide

It starts innocently enough: a well-intentioned plan, a clear schedule, a bright-eyed optimist. But then, the minutes tick by, the hours crawl, and the days... drag on.

Before long, the once-scrupulous planner finds herself lost in a sea of missed deadlines and forgotten appointments. The calendar, once a trusty sidekick, now taunts her with its empty pages and the haunting specter of yesterday's promises.

And so the question remains: is it possible to quantify the futility of scheduling? Or are we doomed to forever chase our tails in a Sisyphean cycle of planning and regret?

Methodology

Our research employed a mixed-methods approach, combining the latest in statistical analysis and pure, unadulterated guesswork.

We gathered data from a pool of 500 randomly selected procrastinators, each with an average of 27 unfinished projects and 14 unfulfilled promises.

Our results indicate a statistically significant correlation between the length of time spent planning and the amount of time spent staring at the wall, wondering where it all went wrong.
