Reader, Work expands to fill the time you give it. That's Parkinson's Law. This past week, I tried giving myself 10 minutes to write my daily LinkedIn post in the mornings. It worked. It might be stressful to some, but it energized me, as I watched the timer counting down while I typed away. 10 minutes isn't a magic number - there's no research behind it. It's just what I could fit into an already early start at 4.30am after my morning routine. So now, my morning routine looks like this before I head out the door to get the kids to school and me to the office:
It enables me to start my day right and get the most important stuff done before most people are even up. It also reprogrammed my mind to believe I can get the work done in the time I allocate it. And if I really don't, I still have my lunch hour to complete it. But I don't like to even think this way - subconsciously I know it leads to procrastination if I tell myself I have more time later. I get into the exact process I use to make that 10 minutes work in this week's podcast.

I love the poem, 'The Summer Day' by Mary Oliver - credits to her for my subject line! |
