Set shorter deadlines and achieve more in half time.
We humans have the habit of doing things at the last minute. The more time we give ourself to complete any task, the more we procrastinate.
That means, if you give yourself whole day to write a thread, it will take whole day. But, if you give yourself 2 hours to write a thread, you will do it in 2.
And this is what is called Parkinson’s Law.
As stated by Cyril Northcote Parkinson in 1955, “work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion.”
At its core, Parkinson Law is about setting deadlines, managing time and beating procrastination.
The farther the deadline you set for any task, the more you procrastinate and delay the task. But on the other hand, shorter deadlines force you to focus on the task and avoid procrastination.
This sounds like a simple fix, but to get the most out of this, you’ll want to establish a false sense of urgency in your mind. To trick your mind into thinking you don’t have enough time to finish the work.
As Stock-Sanford Corollary says,
“If you wait until the last minute, it only takes a minute to do.”
