“Work expands so as to fill the time available for completion.” In other words, if you have no bumpers, boundaries, or non-negotiables built into your life, you will always find more work to do to fill the void and vacuum. You’ll mire yourself in busy work and perfectionism out of a perverse need to appear “busy” without realizing that you are wasting your time--your most precious and finite resource--on activities that don’t do anything to drive your business or life forward. Even worse, when you don’t have clear boundaries between your work and life, they start to bleed into each other, preventing you from being fully present in either one. When you’re at work, you feel guilty that they haven’t spent more time with your family and when you’re with your family, you feel guilty because you haven’t accomplished enough work.”
