Emmett's Law states that when you finally get it done, whatever it is, it will turn out to require less time and mental effort than you've already expended on avoiding it.

It's a "she", actually: Rita Emmett, author of The Procrastinator's Handbook.

You mean she finished it?

[pedanther]

She describes herself as "recovering" on her web site.

And in the book, too, probably, but it's been years since I read it and I don't remember for sure. (I should read it again, but I never seem to get around to it.)
