null
Book •
While not a book in the traditional sense, "Parkinson's Law" refers to the principle coined by C. Northcott Parkinson in his 1957 book, "Parkinson's Law: The Pursuit of Progress.
" The law states that work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion.
This principle highlights the inefficiency that can arise from having too much time to complete a task.
It's often used to explain bureaucratic inefficiencies and the tendency for tasks to become unnecessarily complex.
The law's enduring relevance lies in its insightful observation of human behavior and its application to various aspects of life, from work to personal projects.
It serves as a reminder of the importance of setting deadlines and managing time effectively.
