It’s that the time it takes us to accomplish something is often determined by how long we’re given to complete it. It’s almost like some sort of mental jujitsu our brain does to us.

If I have 2 years to build a house, I guarantee it will take me me the full two years (maybe longer). Whereas if I have one year I’ll figure out a way to get it done. This is true whether your in construction, web design, or lawn care. When we have a short time line we work faster and more efficiently. When we have tons of time to accomplish something our brain’s begin to see all of the nuances and somehow complicate the issue.

If you’re about to tackle a big project estimate however long you think it will take you to complete it and then cut that time in half.
