Busy Schedule Sparked Early Productivity
- Eric Bach describes his 2014 routine of waking at 4 a.m. and coaching clients all day while using short breaks to get focused work done.
- He contrasts that busy schedule with his current, more flexible calendar that gave him unexpected extra time he didn't use well.
More Time Can Reduce Output
- Having more free time didn't produce more work because urgency vanished and Parkinson's Law took over.
- Bach realized lack of urgency, not time, was why he stopped hitting goals.
Parkinson's Law Applies To Fitness
- Parkinson's Law states work expands to fill the time available for its completion.
- Bach connects this productivity law directly to fitness behaviors like procrastination and complexity creep.
