Parkinson's Law states that a task will swell in (perceived) importance and complexity in relation to the time allotted for its completion. To increase your productivity try shortening the time frame you give yourself to complete a task. Just as you tend to accumulate 'stuff' to fill whatever size house you own, you expand your activities to fill the time you have to complete a task. Giving yourself less time to complete tasks increases your focus and productivity during that time, freeing up time for something else.
