Work expands to fill the time available for its completion.
I was first made of aware of the existence of this law in 1990, during my university days. There's definitely something in it, but it's just a little wide of the mark, in my experience.
Here then, is Big Al's Law.
Work expands to fill, and then massively exceed, the time available for its completion.
I am considering having this engraved on a plaque, which would then be placed on or near my desk.

Hence the "drunken". Also, I intend to get it in extremely small letters.
Across my forehead.
