Why do we Leave Things that Now Take 10 Minutes but Initially would have Taken 10 Seconds? - (1085)

Because we Dream

We somehow fall under the spell, that it is too difficult to do it right now and that we will have time later on and when we do, do it later on it will take less time and it will be done with better.

The Truth

The truth is always that it takes much more time and it is more difficult, mostly because we forget where we left off and we have to retrace our steps.

The Lesson

The lesson seems always to do it in the moment.

Typical Case

The cases where we miss an opportunity to tell somebody something is an example of this, because when we miss the moment we have to spend more time and effort telling the person what we should have told them in that moment.
