This is an actual principle. I'm not sure what it's called specifically, but a lot of people agree with me on this (sorry for making a vague argument and attaching "a lot of people" to it).
The idea is that the more work you have to do the more efficient you will be. I thought about that yesterday as I reviewed how much work I have ahead of me for the next couple months. I'm basically at a sink or swim point: either I survive or I drown in all the projects I have taken on. (I now suddenly have 5 jobs: Film maker, Dating coach, Qwest Salesman, Marketing Chief at a photography business, and a full-time student [they say that full time student IS a job in and of itself])
To add to that, I have this blog as an extra curricular activity, and my friend and I are starting a fake band (something we can tell people that we're in and that we recorded a bunch of songs (really it's just one) and that we have gigs every so often.)
My plate is full with these things, thankfully I passed the stress point #1 a couple weeks ago and my next stress point will be at the end of the semester when I have a bunch of papers due.
Long story short, the priciple of working more is that I will be more effective with the 24 hrs I have to do 7 things than I will to do 4 things. just throwing numbers out, those 4 things will take me 4 hrs apiece whereas the 7 things will take me 3 hrs a piece and I'll get them all done--that's the idea anyway.
I think I'll test this one out until the end of the semester and give you a follow up on whether it's real or not.
