Law of Probable Dispersal : Whatever hits the fan will not be evenly distributed. (also known as the How Come It All Landed On Me Law)

Laws of Procrastination : It reduces anxiety by reducing the expected quality of the project from the best of all possible efforts to the best that can be expected given the limited time.
Laws of Procrastination : Status is gained in the eyes of others, and in one's own eyes, because it is assumed that the importance of the work justifies the stress.
Laws of Procrastination : Avoidance of interruptions including the assignment of other duties can be achieved, so that the obviously stressed worker can concentrate on the single effort.
Laws of Procrastination : Procrastination avoids boredom; one never has the feeling that there is nothing important to do.
