Why so Much Longer?

Have you ever noticed projects take much longer than you think they will? I don't know if it's the actual project or all the little piddling things you do to get ready to do it. Maybe it's all that little extra things you do while taking a break. I'm in the kitchen getting a drink, which leads to cleaning the dishes, sweeping up the floor, writing out a grocery list, playing with the dogs, petting the cats, and folding the clothes. It happens every time I take a break, I start doing other things. I'd stop taking breaks but all that bending, digging, kneeling and hauling really starts to hurt after a bit.
