Do you know that there's science on why we can easily accomplish our tasks when the deadline is near?
It is called Parkinson's Law.
"Work will expand to fill the time allotted for its completion." 👨💻
When we put more time into projects which can be finished in a shorter period, we tend to delay doing it until the last minute.
If we leave it unsettled, Parkinson's Law can sabotage your productivity.
So how to overcome it? 🤔
1. Plan your work strategically.
Create a detailed timeline on how long the task can take.
2. Set self-imposed deadlines.
After assessing your work plan, schedule a shorter deadline for the task. It can help you start early and finish it in a shorter time.
3. Try timeboxing.
Allocate completing the task in a fixed time frame. It can help you fight procrastination and prioritize the important task.
4. Try Pomodoro Technique.
It is a productive strategy that helps you focus on working while taking a shorter break.
5. Use task management tools.
It can help you organize your to-do list, manage your deadlines, and track your progress.
