This document appears to be a page from a book or manuscript (likely 'The 4-Hour Workweek' by Tim Ferriss, based on the content regarding the 9-5 schedule and Parkinson's Law) included in a House Oversight document production. It narrates an anecdote from the spring of 2000 where the author asks a professor, Ed Zschau, for an extension on a final paper but is refused with the advice that entrepreneurs 'make things happen.' The text uses this story to explain Parkinson's Law: that work expands to fill the time available for its completion.
