Parkinson’s law.
It’s an easily forgotten, but just-as-easily leveraged law. It’s the adage that work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion.
Even when we know the P-Law, we often ask for more time, we push deadlines back and we give ourselves as much cushion as possible because the more cushion we have the better our lizard brain feels because it doesn’t need to react or worry or work on the edge yet.
The reality is that the law works to our DISadvantage when we let our fears dictate timing.
Better to consistently give ourselves less time because eventually that becomes the new norm for our lizard brains. We freak out less when there’s a two-day turnaround. We worry less when the deadline is around the corner. In other words, we adapt.
Stay Positive & Don’t Let Your Lizard Brain Tell You Otherwise
