Parkinson's law

Parkinson's law states that "work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion". In the context of time management, this means that if you allocate a week for a task that could realistically be done in a few hours, it will likely take the entire week to complete, leading to inefficiency and procrastination.
I thought I could knock out that report in a couple of hours, but thanks to Parkinson's law, I ended up stretching it over the whole week just because I had the time.

Parking Crater

A parking lot that covers an absurdly large section of a city. Often found outside stadiums, megachurches, and Walmarts. They typically take up more land area than the establishment itself. Parking craters typically have no tree cover, making them unpleasant to walk through, contribute to the urban heat island effect, force urban sprawl, thereby lengthening commute times, and take up valuable space that could be devoted to other businesses.
The center of my hometown used to be such a fun and lively area, but now it’s nothing but a big parking crater.
