Parkinson's Law

Any task or project will expand to fill the time available for its completion.

Parkinson's Law is a principle that suggests work expands to fill the time available for its completion. If you have a task or project and you give yourself a certain amount of time to finish it, you'll probably end up taking that entire time, even if the task could have been completed more quickly. This law highlights how time management and deadlines can impact productivity and efficiency. So, if you want to be more efficient, consider setting shorter, realistic deadlines to avoid unnecessary delays.
