That abandoned side project sitting in your GitHub repos suddenly becomes the most fascinating thing you've ever built the moment your actual deadline starts breathing down your neck. Project A transforms from "meh, whatever" to "THIS IS MY MAGNUM OPUS" faster than you can say "git checkout."

It's the developer's version of suddenly finding your room desperately needs organizing when you have an exam tomorrow. That half-baked todo app you haven't touched in 6 months? Suddenly needs a complete architecture overhaul RIGHT NOW. The documentation you've been ignoring? Critical priority. That refactoring you've been postponing? Can't possibly wait another minute.

Your brain's procrastination engine running at maximum efficiency, convincing you that literally anything else is more important than the thing that's actually due. The quantum superposition of productivity collapses the moment you observe the deadline.
