978. How To Get More Done Faster

One of the most effective life hacks that I’ve discovered is this thing called Parkinson’s Law, which says, “work expands to fill the time available for its completion.” In other words, if you give yourself a month to do something, you’ll take every single day of that month to get it done. But, if you give yourself a week to do that same task, guess what? It will only take you seven days to finish it. 

I’m really in this season of kicking myself into high gear and maximizing every minute that I schedule in for work. Where can you compress your time and get more done on a faster timeline?
