So here is it...
Ever had a 10-minute task take you an hour to complete because you got distracted by your phone, or you just didn’t feel any urgency?
Or, have you ever completed a massive project in one night because you were right up against the deadline?
That’s Parkinson’s Law at work.
Parkinson’s Law says that "work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion."
👉 That means, if you give yourself a week for a task, it will take a week.
But if you give yourself a day for that same task, you'll probably get it done in a day.
The same goes for most of your goals.
A 5-year goal might very well be a 2-year goal if you decided to shift the deadline...
Because once you give yourself that new time frame — your mind gets to work on how to make it happen.
Crazy, right?
How to apply it in real life:
Think of one long-term goal you have right now that you’ve given yourself a year or more to complete…
Maybe it’s a financial goal, a fitness goal, or a personal goal…
Now, cut the time frame you’ve given yourself to achieve that goal by 10% to 50% and picture yourself hitting that deadline.
Did your mind just flood with ideas to make it happen in that time frame? That’s the point.
You can easily do this with your clients, too…
Most people overestimate the time it will take them to get results…
Or, they give themselves TOO much “buffer room” so they can go easy on themselves…
But the fact is, shorter deadlines give us the urgency we need to avoid distractions and stay focused on the finish line.
Use it to your advantage!

On this note.
Engaging in lower tier work robs you of the energy to engage in high leverage work.
You might have enough time to do both, but you won’t have enough energy to do what is outstanding if you’re busy.
The separators:
- The quality of your inputs
- Ability to focus your attention
- Taking personal responsibility
- Your commitment to excellence
- The people you spend time with
- Lifestyle choices (food, sleep, fitness)
- Making decisions based on your values & vision
30 mins a day reading self-help books won't change your world.
I've tried it. Doesn't work.
What does?
