This'd idea changed my life, and I think it can change yours. Let's say you want to write a letter, and the deadline is 10 PM You get a shower. You spend one hour looking for the perfect paper, another hour looking for the perfect pen, another our thinking off the perfect words and another writing them. By 10 PM Your letter is done. But if you on Lee had 10 minutes to write the letter, you'll skip the shower. You'll find a piece of paper, find a pen, write it down and you're good to go. It's the same letter. One took 10 hours to make. Another took 10 minutes to make. And this is work that expands to the time allowed for it. It's called Parkinson's Law, and it's a really thing. It's not procrastination. It's not laziness. It's unnecessary work that we do simply because way have time. This'd isn't just you and me. This'll is entire companies. If the deadline is next month, we work every day. We add many people to the project for one month to finish it. But if the deadline is next week, magically we can finish the project in one week. I saw this happen at my company. When something is not urgent, we take our time way have lark to be the emergency emergency project today. Get ready everybody. We put 10 people toe work on one project, and in one month we do something we could have done in one week. Thing is, how big companies die. Work expands to the time allowed for it. This'll is a big idea. If you give yourself less time to do something, you will do good work. No hours spent finding the perfect pen. No hours wasted in meetings. No unnecessary work. So instead of finishing something next year, next month or next week remember Parkinson's law. Most likely, we can finish it tomorrow. That's more than a minute. See you tomorrow, my friends. If you enjoyed watching that video, then I think you will love reading my book. It's called around the world in 60 Seconds, and now it's available in every country in the world so you can order it and you can have it in seven days or less. This'll book is really special because it took me 1000 days to write, and it took me 64 countries to travel to and 10,000 people to talkto for all these people were involved in writing this book. This has stories that do not yet exist on the Internet. I go super deep into these stories and into these topics. This is a really cool book that got five out of five stars ratings on Amazon. If you like it, I think many people did. You can click on the link below to get it. I super appreciate your support. I think this will make a great gift for yourself for your family or just for you to read, because now you cannot travel. So this should help you travel around the world, at least from your bedroom. Thank you so much for watching those daily and for supporting my book. That's more than a minute. I will see you tomorrow for another reason.
