We plan with logic.
Reality moves with friction.
Hofstadter’s Law says
things take longer than you expect—
even when you expect this law.
A quiet example
You plan to leave early for a trip.
The car won’t start.
Traffic adds more delay.
Not because you mis planned—
but because life has hidden steps.
Where this shows up
- In projects
- In learning
- In timelines
Time isn’t linear.
Expect drag.
