TSA Weekly: Have you heard of Parkinson's Law?

Hi there, Reader!

🧠 Thought of the Week

Have you heard of Parkinson's Law?

It’s something that I’ve struggled with for years, but until recently, I didn’t even know it existed!

Essentially, Parkinson’s Law is the idea that work will expand into the time available. What this means to you and me is this:

If we allow our day to be too flexible and free, then all (or most) of our tasks will take longer than they need to. 🤯

I don’t know about you, but my goal is to spend less time working on my business and more time enjoying my life.

Fortunately, even though I had never heard of Parkinson’s Law before last week, I’ve felt it’s truth for years and have found strategies that help me fight against it (and win!)

If you feel it’s truth as well, I encourage you to check out this week’s podcast to see if some of my tips can help you, too!

⚙️ Streamline Your Week​
​

Creating a Trello board is just the first step—now it’s time to share it!

But before you do, double-check that you're only giving access to the right people.

​

🎯Take Action

If you’ve been feeling like you are working more than you should need to on your business, track your time this week on the task that takes you the longest. Then, next week, try out one of my tips from the podcast and track your time…see if it makes a difference! (I’d love to hear the results, too!)

Let it be Easy, ​​​​
