In this video, you will learn how to accomplish more things in less time. It's the same exact strategy that Elon Musk uses, Jeff Bezos uses, and I've personally used, and it's called Parkinson's law. Parkinson's law is a game changer. What it states is work expands to the time available for its completion. So let's say this is your deadline.
00:00:23:03 - 00:00:49:01

You give yourself a one day deadline to complete this project. What will happen is you will find a way to complete that deadline within a one day period. But what most people do is they actually give themselves a longer deadlines. So what somebody might do is, hey, you know what? I'm going to get this done in a week, or I'm going to give myself a year to lose that weight, or I'm going to take my time to find this job.
00:00:49:01 - 00:01:15:11

So what ends up happening is you give yourself a lot of time represented by this beautiful, blender cup. And so what ends up happening? It takes a lot of time, and you end up finding a way to complete that same project that could be done in a shorter amount of time. You find a way to have it take one week instead of one day.
00:01:15:13 - 00:01:41:11

And what ends up happening is things end up getting more complicated. It gets more diluted. There's less efficiency inside of the work that you're doing. Now. This is a game. This is what Elon Musk uses to scale his companies. It's the Parkinson's law. So what he does is he gives short deadlines on all of his projects. You have one year to find a way to build a rocket, to get to outer space.
00:01:41:13 - 00:01:59:12

And his employees say, hey, one year like, we've never done this before. I don't know, like, how is this going to work? You have one year. Find a way to make it happen. And they found a way to make it happen. So what happens is, is we use this with our team members here at Rock. And that's how we've been able to scale and grow multiple seven.
00:01:59:12 - 00:02:23:03

And eight figure companies, because we actually give short deadlines to complete things and I give short deadlines for myself. So here's a couple of ways to utilize that. Number one is set tighter deadlines. Number two is use time blocks. Number three is deliver good enough instead of perfect. I remember when I first bought my test lab it was a solid car.
00:02:23:09 - 00:02:48:11

Yet there were some things that just that were good enough. Not everything was exceptional. So he found a way to deliver it. It was a solid product, but it definitely was not perfect. And then around business efficiency, key meetings, time bound, make sure the meetings are within a short hey, we have 30 minutes to handle this meeting. Never have a meeting that does not have a time limit on it.
00:02:48:13 - 00:03:16:14

And the second part of that is Cap project timelines to avoid scope creep and scope delays. So we have one week to complete this project, not hey, let's work on this project. Always have a deadline for projects and with Parkinson's Law, make that deadline shorter so you don't end up having to use this much. You can knock out the same result in a shorter amount of time.
