Pakinson's Law

Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion.

My brother hired someone to install software and fix his computer for him. He did not want to rush the fixer, so he gave him a week to complete a task and paid him very handsomely when he finished. I told my brother that the fixer will arrive on the last day and fix it even though he can be there any other time of the week. I was right.
