Parkinson’s Law states that “work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion.”

First, whereas Parkinson’s Law suggests that longer deadlines lead people to set easier goals and therefore decrease effort, we found that longer deadlines increase an assignment’s perceived difficulty.

Second, while Parkinson’s Law makes a prediction only about time commitment, we found that longer incidental deadlines increase monetary commitment.

In productivity circles, this phenomenon is known as Parkinson’s law.

The best way to avoid Parkinson’s law of triviality is to get the agenda right.
