What is Parkinson's Law?
Definition and Implications
- Parkinson's Law states that "work expands to fill the time available for its completion." This means that if a task has a long deadline, it will likely take the entire duration to finish.
- To counteract this tendency, it's essential to set deadlines that are relatively close. This approach compresses time and fosters a sense of urgency.
- When faced with a distant deadline, one can make it more tangible by breaking down the project into smaller steps and assigning deadlines for each step. This makes the final deadline feel more immediate.
- It’s important to remember potential unforeseen events (as discussed in previous content about the law of procrastination), which can impact timelines and planning.
