"Work expands to fill the time available."
---Parkinson
This new theory is dedicated to Parkinson.... (Some body suggest a good name !!!)
Our daily general activities can be broadly divided into three classes.
1.Our Mainstream activity ( College/School & related work . Irrespective of our likings or dislike we will have to finish the work)
2.Hobbies
3.Other regular activities such as watching TV ( , Sleeping ... my favorite ) . Interesting but not exactly special.
Now my theory states that
If your mainstream activity is dull and you dont have much to do ( Like for instance if you hardly have classes in coll and very less assignments and stuff..)
the other auxillary activities ( 2 and 3 ) also get affected.Some how too much free time (sense of not doing the mainstream activity itself) will make the others also look dull and mundane.(and sometimes you may end up craving for classes also)
NOTE :
1.This theory holds good only when you have too much free time. For example not having classes for one or two days will not make life boring.
2.When you have lots of free time you will obviously want to streamline the time available to pursue other activities.But still your mind will be disturbed . And you will not be able to spend the amount of useful time you wanted to on other activities.
3.More the free time more accurate the theory gets.

I totally agree with radha . I indeed believe that the best way to judge a person is to check out what he does when he is totally free . It will give
you a lot of insight about that
person .Try it out yourself :)
Interesting funda !!
Don't agree at all. Throughout my life, the mainstream activity acads has always been boring...but I have had a good time outside of it.
You do need more free time.
wierd yet something to be pondred over.. interesting piece here
true enuff
But What u have said has already been articulated in economics and goes by the name " Law of diminishing returns " the more u have of a thing, the lesser u feel for it....for further gyan, refer any basic economics text book :))
