So, one of the things with Spring semester, come Spring semester projects.

So, like all the engineers, you're like, oh, so a senior design, that's like the thing that dominate your life if you didn't know that already.

It's like, everything is all about senior design if you're an engineer right now, right?

Or if you are a graphic designer, it's all about giving your portfolio together, because all about get this project, all these spring projects.

Even if you're a fine arts person, like you're getting everything ready for the recital, and maybe that's none of your majors.

It's just like, it's the whatever senior thesis, this is the project, this is the thing that needs to get done.

It's so interesting because I don't know if you've already started working on it yet, because it's like, are you kidding me?

It's not even close to the end of the semester, which is absolutely correct.

But the question is, how long do you think it'll take you?

Whatever project you have right now, right?

There's a very kind of big thing you have going on.

How long do you think it'll take you to get this thing done?

There was these two psychologists named Daniel Kenehman and Amos Tvarski.

They did a study back in 1977 where they wanted to prove that we underestimate how much time it'll take to get anything done.

They called it the planning fallacy.

And they did a study, basically, they came to the conclusion that we have a tendency to disregard historical data when it comes to making predictions.

Even though we may have been in the same situation and we did the same project and it took us a certain amount of time, we think, well, next time it'll take us less time.

In fact, they did another study in 1993 where they had 37 psychology seniors and writing their senior thesis.

A writing their senior thesis and they said, okay, estimate how long do you think it'll take you to write your senior thesis?

You are seniors in this major.

You know how long it takes to write papers.

Here's your senior thesis.
