A short excerpt from a YouTube video (Richard Canfield) describing a conversation with a man who has effectively neutralized Parkinson’s Law by automatically saving raises and practicing meticulous, consistent saving habits. Canfield notes the man had already solved common points where Parkinson’s Law affects people and connected this to Nelson’s book.

Here's a gentleman who truly has conquered, in my opinion, Parkinson's Law. And through our conversation, indicating some of the things that he was already doing through his savings process. He was meticulous, he was consistent. He usually gets a pay raise roughly every year. He automatically already puts that pay raise aside into a separate account to increase his savings bucket. Right there. That's Parkinson's Law. So there was several points in our conversation where he identified areas where Parkinson's Law normally impacts people, and he'd already solved it. He didn't even realize that he'd solved it. So bringing him back to the connection point in Nelson's book was really helpful.
