Beat Burnout With Parkinson’s Law

Ever notice how a task that should take 30 minutes somehow takes you the entire day?

You’re not lazy—you’re a victim of Parkinson’s Law. And it’s the #1 reason you’re feeling

burnt out. Parkinson’s Law states that work expands to fill the time available

for its completion. If you give yourself a month to clean your house, it’ll take a month.

But if your parents are visiting in 20 minutes? You’ll get it done in 15.

When we have "too much" time, our brains treat the task like an inflating balloon.

We start overthinking, obsessing over tiny details, and procrastinating because the "threat"

of the deadline is too far away. We waste energy on the time instead of the work.
