In this article I will tell you about certain laws and principles for the management of the time: Parkinson’s law, Murphy’s law, Pareto law, Carlson law, the principle of Hawthorne, law of Eisenhower, the principle of Laborit, Illich law and law of Fraisse. Parkinson’s law, the more time and for a task took us more to do it. Work expands to fit the time available. Murphy’s law, if something can go wrong will go wrong. Applied at the time, we must anticipate contingencies.

Pareto law, which we have already spoken: 20% of effects cause 80% of the results, for example 20% of humanity consumes 80% of the world’s resources. Carlson law, or law of homogeneous sequences: the interrupted work will be less effective and take more time that that runs continuously. Principle of Hawthorne, or Hawthorne effect says that when a person feels observed tends to give better results. We work better with external oversight and control. Eisenhower’s law, must always ask ourselves before making a task: for when? and what for? Other principles and laws useful in time management: the principle of Laborit, argues that we tend to make more spontaneously what we want rather than what we dislike, what is easy rather than what is difficult, what makes fast before it takes in doing, what is urgent rather than what is importantWhat we do before that what is new, what others put on us rather than what we chose.

Illich law, says that passed a certain threshold of efficiency, decreases may even become negative. For example, if we are long time relentlessly dedicated to something. Fraisse law, says that the relative time for each individual. We must know our rhythms and times of day more efficient. Knowing these laws and principles we can use them to our advantage.On the basis of Parkinson’s law, it is more useful to set specific times for each task and set deadlines.
