Parkinson's Law Quotes

A collection of quotes by Parkinson's Law.

Parkinson's Law is not about a person, but rather a concept first stated by British author Cyril Northcote Parkinson in an article published in The Economist in 1955. Parkinson's Law states that "work expands to fill the time available for its completion," suggesting that tasks often take longer than expected because people tend to use up all the available time for completion. Although not a person, Parkinson's Law has had a significant impact on time management, productivity, and understanding human behavior in relation to work.
