White space is the devil...

Parkinson's Law:


White space, on your calendar, is the root of all business evil.

I have found that when I am not completely booked out with things to do, I become very, very inefficient. Like today. On Warrior Forum far too much. I haven't even worked out yet.

You know why? I let my calendar get a little loose. Sure, there is a stack of stuff to do, but I have a day or two so now I'm lazy.

For a long time I made sure every moment of every day was booked...and I was able to do even more than I scheduled.

Time expands when you are moving at a rapid pace.

But when you slow down, time works against you.

For any fitness folks - you ever notice that when you skip the gym you end up sitting around stuffing your face instead? I do.

I think the same is true in business. When I neglect to fill my schedule to the max, I sit around in my sweats hating myself for not doing all the things I need to do.

White space, on your calendar, is the devil. It is the opposite of success.

So fill it up.
