About this episode
In this episode, I unpack the concept of Parkinson’s Law: the idea that work expands to fill the time you give it. If you’ve ever felt like a simple project stretched on forever, this episode is for you.
I’ll walk you through:

Why overthinking can amplify the problem and lead to perfectionism.
Five practical strategies to take back control of your time, including a surprising tip: scheduling joy into your day.
How embracing constraints can spark creativity instead of stifling it.
A mini challenge to help you finish what you’ve been overthinking—and enjoy more of your day.
Time doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. Tune in to learn how to make it work for you.
