🚀This Law Transformed My ADHD Productivity!
When I had 6 hours free, I took all 6 hours to study because there was no urgency... ...but when I only had 3 hours before working out or a meeting, I achieved the same amount of work or even more, because the shorter time made me concentrate and work faster. That is the power of Parkinson's Law! 💡Parkinson's Law is the idea that "work expands to fill the time available for its completion." Simply put: The more time I have, the longer I take to do something. Understanding this, I leveraged this law to my advantage by setting artificial deadlines and working with timers. Here are 4 reasons why my ADHD brain loves this law: 1️⃣Urgency: The limited time keeps me engaged and prevents my attention from wandering off-task. 2️⃣Efficiency over perfection: Limited time pushes me to prefer practical solutions over unnecessary perfection. 3️⃣Prioritization: I learn to tackle important tasks first, avoiding time-wasters. 4️⃣Structure: It gives me a clear structure, helping me focus without getting lost in unbounded time. Applying Parkinson's Law can make workdays more manageable for us ADHDers. Here's how to start: 👉Prioritize Tasks: Pick the most important tasks for the next day each evening, focusing only on those. 👉Set Clear Deadlines: Decide on short, specific time limits for each task you need to do, like one hour for reading a report. 👉Use a Timer: Start a countdown for each task, pushing you to work faster and stay on track, avoiding the perfection trap. This law, along with other tactics, saved me over 20 hours a week. And it might work for you too! 📲Comment "ACTION" if you will apply artificial deadlines to your workdays. Nicola
