Do you know Parkinson’s law? Well, maybe you do not know that you know it.
“Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion.”Sounds familiar? You know what happens if you give a task a certain amount of time. You will use it.

Maybe you take the wallpaper (which will fit a screen with 16:9) and let Mercury remind you that there are tasks which need to be done. Parkinson’s law and Mercury seems to be a strange combination – if you think of Mercury as a god of trade and travel, the importance of effectiveness over efficiency clearly makes sense.
