Parkinson’s Law
There is a law called “Parkinson’s Law” that states that a task will expand to fill the time allocated to it.
In other words, if a task takes 2 hours, and you set your deadline at 2 weeks, you will find a way of dragging it out over 2 weeks.
However, the opposite is true:
If you want to create a product that would normally take a month… set yourself a deadline of one weekend. You WILL find a way of getting it done.
Do you see the importance of setting deadlines?

- Fell in love with pizza at the age of 15
- In 2009, Papa Johns celebrated 25 years of business
- Recently ranked as one of the fastest-growing franchises
- 3,000 stores worldwide
- $1.1 billion in total revenue in 2008
When John Schnatter first fell in love with pizza (and first obsessed over fresh dough and cheese-to-sauce ratios), he was a 15-year-old kid promoted from dishwasher at Rocky’s Sub Pub. Anything is better than washing dishes, right? But Schnatter took to pizza making right away, not just to get away from dish duty but to prove he deserved the promotion.
“If you didn’t do it right… then it would come back about half-eaten because [customers] wouldn’t want to take it with them,” says Schnatter, Papa John’s founder and chairman. “I had an intuitive grasp on what the consumer wanted at a very young age, which ended up being a tremendous advantage.”
Whether it was putting a smile on customer’s faces with a well-made pie or writing notes to his girlfriend using pepperonis, Schnatter says the experience was so fun that he knew he wanted to be in the pizza business.
That intuition and love of pizza led Schnatter to create Papa John’s, inception in 1984—when Schnatter tore down the wall in a broom closet at his father’s tavern in Jeffersonville, Ind., and installed a pizza oven. Today, with more than 3,000 stores worldwide, Papa John’s is a booming enterprise that brought in around $1.1 billion in total revenue in 2008.
