EP437 Use of Parkinson’s Law - a podcast by Ken Courtright
from 2019-09-17T10:00
Parkinson’s Law is the adage that work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion. Imagine allocating ten days for a seven-day task. You’ll probably spend the whole ten days working on it with hours filled with excess research, analysis, and even stress! The interesting thing is it works the opposite way, too! That means that if you take that same seven-day task and allocate four days to it, chances are you’re going to get it done on time. As a manager, you might want to consider setting shorter timetables as this shows that looming deadlines are motivating. In this episode, Ken Courtright shares how you can make use of Parkinson’s Law to counter procrastination and counterproductive tendencies and hit your targets constantly.
