The Laws of SideQuests

  1. Objects in motion stay in motion unless overcome by an external force such as a phone, couch, snacks, or “I’ll do it later.”
  2. The difficulty of starting a quest is inversely proportional to how long you think about starting it.
  3. For every boring afternoon, there is an equal and opposite SideQuest.
