Meme Cycle: Underestimation
Warning: Underestimation May Lead to Disaster
Underestimation is a meme that's so bad, it's good. It's like that one aunt who always says they'll be there "in an hour" and you're like "Uh, you've been gone for 3 hours, aunt, what's the deal?"
Common Symptoms of Underestimation:
- Overpromising and underdelivering
- Thinking 2 minutes is a reasonable amount of time to finish a task
- Using "I'll get right on it" as a valid excuse for everything
Causes of Underestimation:
- Lack of planning
- Caffeine deprivation
- Procrastination
Treatment for Underestimation:
- Get a planner
- Drink more coffee (but not too much)
- Learn to say "no" without justifying it with excuses
