Parkinson's Law

Parkinson’s Law states that work tends to expand to fill the amount of time available for its completion. In other words, if you set a long deadline for a task, it often takes all that time, even if the task could be finished sooner. Conversely, if you have a tight deadline, you'll likely complete it more quickly. The law highlights how our perception of time influences productivity and emphasizes the importance of setting appropriate time limits to work efficiently. It’s a reminder that managing deadlines can help prevent unnecessary work expansion.
