Summary

This quote highlights the concept of Parkinson's Law, which suggests that tasks will generally take up all the time allotted to them. It points out that work has a tendency to either expand or contract to fit the time provided for its completion. In other words, if there is a lot of time available, work may unconsciously stretch out and fill that time, whereas if there's limited time, people tend to be more focused and efficient in completing their tasks. The quote reinforces the importance of setting appropriate deadlines and being mindful of time management to avoid unnecessary procrastination.
