The last 10% is the hardest 80%.

But that last 0.01% really drives you insane.
You just reminded me of a thought experiment that I came up with that absolutely drives me insane.
Imagine you are on a road. 80 miles away from you destination.
You driving 80mph so you will get there in 1 hour.
Now, you have to Mach your speed to the miles remaining.
So when there is only 70 left, you drive 70mph, 60miles left, you slow down to 60mph and so on.
How long will it take to reach your destination 🤪
