Parkinson's law

I am a strong believer in Parkinson's law - "The work expands to fill
time available to it". So the procrastinator in me frequently takes
unfair advantage of this law to avoid doing that work till only 33% of
the original time is left. How do you decide how much time you should
spend on a task.

How do you measure the productivity of the day. How do you assign values
to 5 different tasks at hand and allocate your time so that each gets
the fair share.

How much time would you spend photographing the rainbow versus spending
an extra hour cleaning your car or an extra hour doing your work. How
and where do you pull the plug on what you are doing?

btw after a month of incessant rain, its bright and sunny today with the
perfect temperature. And I found a new radio channel www.luxuriamusic.com
