摘要

AS LAWS GO, the dictum devised by C. Northcote Parkinson, a naval historian, was admirably succinct: "Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion." His essay, first published in The Economist in 1955, has stood the test of time, in the sense that people still refer to "Parkinson's law". But the experience of working life during the pandemic means that Bartleby would now like to suggest three corollaries to the theorem. At the start of his essay, Parkinson cited the case of an elderly lady requiring a day to send a postcard to her niece. The process involved time spent searching for spectacles, postcard and umbrella, as well as composing the message. The details may be dated but the idea is still resonant-faced with a task, people procrastinate.
