Why does work always seem to expand to fill the time available? That’s Parkinson’s Law in action—if you give yourself a week to complete a task, it will take a week. But what if you could reclaim control over your time and accomplish more in less?

In this episode, we break down how Parkinson’s Law affects your productivity and what strategies can help you set smarter constraints to work more efficiently. Are you setting clear deadlines, or are you unintentionally giving tasks more time than they actually require? How can you create urgency without feeling rushed?

What habits can help you avoid the trap of unnecessary delays? From time blocking to artificial deadlines, we explore techniques to help you work with intention and finish tasks faster—without sacrificing quality. The key is learning to challenge the time you think you need and developing a system that keeps you focused.

This week, challenge yourself: Pick a task that usually takes longer than it should. Set a strict but reasonable deadline—then commit to finishing it within that time. What changed? Did you work with more focus? Small shifts in how you manage time can lead to big results. Let’s refine your time strategy together.
