Freeing Up More Time and Increasing Productivity. It’s Totally Do-able!
In 1955, Mr. Cyril Northcote Parkinson began his essay in The Economist as follows:
“Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion.”
Later republished in a collection of Mr. Parkinson’s essays, this adage has become known as Parkinson’s Law and what it means, basically, is this: whether you give yourself 100 hours or 1 hour to complete a task, that is exactly how long it will take you.
Think about the implications if this were true, and I believe it is. How much time is being wasted on setting the bar too low for ourselves?
As entrepreneurs, we often forget the true value of our time. We simply get so used to working 12 hour days, it becomes what’s normal. Because we allow for long hours, the work always ends up filling the time.
So what would happen if we constricted ourselves to only working a fraction of the time we normally spend? I’m willing to try it out and fully expect to be able to get the same amount done in less time.
It’s important to value our time as much as we do our money. Imagine suddenly bringing in twice the income you were expecting this month. Well, isn’t that exactly what you are doing by producing the same amount of work in less time?
Another key benefit to putting tighter constraints on our work hours is that it means we have more time to take better care of ourselves, get proper rest and have some fun. We tend to eat healthier, exercise more and feel better when we work less hours.
The big win is that all this leads to tremendous boosts in productivity!
I hope you’ll join me on this experiment to simultaneously increase our business’ productivity while decreasing the overall time we spend working. Please stop by and share your tips, insights and experiences with time management.
“The only reason for time is so that everything doesn’t happen at once.” ~Albert Einstein
