Time Management for Supervisors
Time Management Overview
The REAL reason you always have too much to do is not because you don’t put in enough hours. It’s not that you’re lazy. It’s not that you’re disorganized. Those are the symptoms, not the problem.
Parkinson’s Law (The Law that Explains Why You Can’t Get Anything Done)
In 1955, naval historian Cyril Parkinson wrote in The Economist that work expands to fill the time available for its completion.
