Parkinson's Law
work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion
There are multiple interpretations on the law, but the above one is the most important to me. While I belive the law is true, I also belive thatyou cannot give a task just one minute to be completed and expect it to be completed in one minute. On the other hand, if you give it an hour longer to be completed than it would need, it will take an hour longer. A practical approach here might be to calculate the duration of tasks as short as possible and than adapt if the task was not finished in the given time.

The 80/20 Rule
The 80/20 Rule can be applied to almost everything in live and is very flexible in implementation. Some examples include:
20% of the work produce 80% of the outcome
20% of the events produce 80% of the stress
20% of the customers produce 80% of the revenue
Generally, its good to identify the 20s and 80s in a System and then adapt to that (by cutting out unperformatn factors that are not in the 20%)
