Work expands to fill the time available for its completion. -Parkinson’s Law
Parkinson’s law is not your friend when it comes to managing your project or personal schedules. According to Parkinson, when you do not set deadlines to accomplish tasks, schedules tend to slide.
If you are anything like me, your to-do list is huge and grows by the hour. I have learned that I cannot have an “I’ll get to it” attitude and must actively manage my to-do list.
How, you ask? I must prioritize the list every day and set deadlines to accomplish the tasks on the list.
Set deadlines so Parkinson’s law does not apply to your to-do lists.
