“Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion.”

If something must be done in a year, it’ll be done in a year.

If something must be done next week, it’ll be done next week.

If something must be done tomorrow, it’ll be done tomorrow.

**Parkinson’s Law should not be considered carte blanche to set unreasonable deadlines. All projects take time-you certainly can’t build a skyscraper in a day, or a factory in a week.
