Parkinson’s Law

Parkinson’s Law is the old adage that work expands to fill the time allotted. Put simply, the amount of work required adjusts to the time available for its completion. The term was first coined by Cyril Northcote Parkinson in a humorous essay he wrote for the Economist in 1955.

Understanding Parkinson’s Law is only the beginning. Learn ways to minimize distractions, establish priorities, and work on the tasks you really need to be working on.
