Manage Your Work In Given Time(ore Work In Less Time)
Parkinson’s Law—the amount of work expands to fill the time available for its completion
means that if you give yourself a week to complete a two-hour task, then (psychologically speaking) the task will increase in complexity and become more daunting so as to fill that week.
Example
if someone is given a week to complete a task should really only take them a day to finish, they will often end up unnecessarily stretching out the task, so that it will take them the whole week to complete it.
