Meskimen's Law of Time


There is never enough time to do a good job. But it is always there to redo everything.

And this happens. Until the last moment, we postpone an important task, then cope with it somehow and spend much more on redoing it.

Law Of The True Statement


Without a smiling smiley face or any other obvious sign of humor, it is impossible to make jokes on sharp topics, so that at least someone does not take it seriously.

Any joke or parody on an acute topic is sure to be perceived by someone as a true statement.

law

Clade's Law For The Laziness


Assign a difficult task to a lazy employee. He will find the easiest way to solve it.

He will simply be too lazy to complicate his work.

law

Searching Law - Find the Needle


You need to start the search from the most inappropriate place.

If you don't expect to find scissors in the Laundry basket, they may be there.

law

Ettore's Observation Law


The next queue always moves faster.

Even if it has five people with full carts, and yours has only two with a bottle of water and a packet of pasta. Either the cash register breaks, or one of them starts counting out the change in rubles.


6

law

Pareto's Law - Proportions of Success


20% of efforts give 80% of the result, the remaining 80% of efforts — only 20% of the result.

The ratio of effort to result is not equal: 20% of customers bring the company 80% of profit, and 80% of the time spent on current tasks will bring only 20% of the benefit. And so in any sphere of life.

 


7

law

Axiom of Kahn and Orben


If nothing else helps, read the instructions.

For some reason, it is remembered too late.


8

law

Hanlon's Razor - Error Law


Never explain with malice what can easily be explained by stupidity.

First, look for the reason for human errors and only then think that the person did something on purpose, out of bad intentions.


9

law

Sturgeon's Revelation


90% of anything is nonsense.

If you are told that 90% of your thesis is nonsense, remember that this applies not only to your writing.


10

law

Peter's Principle - Career Rising


Competent employees, rising up the career ladder, reach their level of incompetence.

According to this principle, sooner or later a person will find himself in a position that he can't cope with.


11

law

Gumperson's Law - Reaching A Result


The probability of achieving the desired result is inversely proportional to the strength of the desire.

When you are late for work, you get stuck in traffic, buses break down, and you have to walk. But if you decide to take a walk, these buses will pass you one by one.


12

law

Finagle's fourth law


If the work goes wrong, any attempt to save the situation will only make it worse.

Sometimes the best is the enemy of the good.


13

People don't understand sentences the way the person who makes them does.

Even if you put it clearly and clearly, someone will interpret it in their own way.


14

law

First law of adjustment


Information that involves reworking the project will be sent to the author only when all the drawings have already been completed.

An important part of the work has already been done, but who cares? Except for you, who spent a lot of time on it.


15

law

The law of the letter


As soon as you seal the envelope or drop the letter in the mailbox, you will immediately come up with an important idea.

In the case of emails, of course, everything is simpler. You can then send the second one — it won't take much time.


16

law

Parkinson's Law - Work and Time


The work fills the time allotted for it.

You can complete a task in one day, but you have set a week for it. And you will work on it for a week.


17

law

Lerman's Law - Solving Problems


Any technical problem can be solved if you have enough time and money.

The Lerman consequence: you will always run out of time or money.


18

law

Ould and Kahn's law


The effectiveness of the meeting decreases in proportion to the increase in the number of participants and the time spent on it.

Long meetings with a large number of debaters often lead to nothing.


19

law

Hendrickson's Law


If the problem requires repeated meetings, they will eventually become more important than the problem itself.

And it may not be solved.

Or it will roll into the farthest corner, where it is almost impossible to get it.


23

law

The law of voluntary labour Zimergi


A person is always willing to take up a job when it is no longer necessary.

Because, most likely, he will not have to do anything.


24

law

Richard's rule of interdependence


Anything you keep for a long time can be thrown away. But as soon as you throw it away, you'll need it.

Maybe this is why we are afraid to disassemble the Cabinet and get rid of unnecessary things. It might be useful.


25

law

Murphy's law (Murphys Gesetz)


Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.

According to this principle, if something bad can happen, it will happen. In this case, the worst possible unpleasant situations will happen. Don't hesitate, nothing can be changed.
