There's a law that many web developers swear by:

Parkinson's Law.

This law states that "work expands to fill the time available for its completion."

In simpler terms, if we have a week to finish a day's worth of work, it will take us a week to complete it.

While this may sound discouraging, we can actually use this law to our advantage.

By setting shorter deadlines for ourselves, we can leverage Parkinson's Law to get things done more efficiently.

For example, when we estimate that a task can be completed in an hour, we should give ourselves only an hour to finish it, no matter what. This approach allows us to tap into Parkinson's Law and accomplish tasks quicker, rather than dragging them out unnecessarily. It also helps us enter a flow state while coding, enabling us to write better code and enjoy the process more.

Personally, whenever I find myself procrastinating on a task, I set a specific time limit for its completion and dive right in. This strategy never fails me—it works like a charm every time.
