What Parkinon’s Law and Working Moms Can Teach Us About Productivity
I’ve always considered myself productive. My parents always told me that when I was in primary school, I’d immediately come home and do my homework without being asked. I wanted to maximize my time without it hanging over my head.
When I progressed into college, I’d plan out when I needed to start revising for my test so that I could do as little work for the best results. Instead of doing mediocre revision for months leading up to my exam, I’d do hardcore revision for the final weeks only. My goal was to maximize efficiency, so that I could enjoy my time not working, without the lingering stress of inaction hanging over my head.
This work ethos has persisted throughout my adult life. Now, as a freelance writer, I often have multiple clients and projects happening simultaneously. I’m writing my book, ghostwriting another, managing several blogs, writing copy for ads, and writing content for multiple brands. Efficiency and productivity aren’t just helpful, they’re required.
