It’s 10PM, and your crush messages you: "You up? I’ll be at yours in 20.” Cue the instant panic. You somehow manage to: Clear the kitchen Make your bed Hide every piece of clothing And light those fancy candles so your room smells more like a spa and less like a gym bag. All of this by 10:19 PM Moral of the story is you don’t need as much time as you think to get stuff done. Work magically expands to fill the time you give it, so set a goal, cut the deadline, and watch yourself get it done.
