C. N. Parkinson

C. Northcote Parkinson was a British historian and author who, in 1955, formulated the "Parkinson's Law," which states that "work expands to fill the time available for its completion." In simpler terms, this means that if you allocate a certain amount of time to complete a task, the task tends to take that entire period, often more. Parkinson also observed that bureaucracies tend to grow in size regardless of the actual workload, leading to unnecessary complexity. His ideas highlight how organizational and time management behaviors can influence efficiency and productivity in both workplaces and institutions.
